Christmas Trees Should Be Decorated with Ugly Ornaments

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the traditional decorating of the Christmas tree. But this year, instead of adhering to a specific theme or color palette, why not go for something a little different? An opinion piece recently published by The New York Times suggests that when it comes to decorating your Christmas tree, ugly ornaments are the way to go. The article argues that mismatched ornaments collected over the years can make for a unique and memorable tree. Not only do these decorations bring back memories from past holidays, but they also add an element of surprise and delight. Furthermore, by avoiding “styled” trees – those with perfectly coordinated decorations – you can create something truly special that reflects your own personality and style. In addition to being more personal and unique than “styled” trees, mismatched ornamentation also allows for more creative freedom when it comes to design. With no rules or guidelines in place, you can let your imagination run wild as you choose which items will adorn your tree. From handmade crafts to vintage finds, there’s no limit on what kind of decorations you can use – as long as they’re objectively hideous! The article encourages readers to embrace their inner child when decorating their Christmas trees this year by choosing decorations that are fun and unexpected rather than following any particular trend or aesthetic. After all, what better way is there to spread holiday cheer than with a uniquely decorated tree full of ugly (but lovable) ornaments? So if you want your Christmas tree to stand out from the rest this year, forget about “styling” it with perfectly coordinated decorations – opt instead for an eclectic mix of random trinkets and baubles collected over time!
