Unless your tree is made out of delicious soft pretzel, this is mustarded.

If your tree starts singing carols, take it back to the farm and ask for a full refund.

This tree is made entirely out of spaghetti. WHY?

This is David Hasselhoff's all-inclusive Christmas/Hannukah mashup tree. Note the menorah-wielding Rabbi-parrot on top. Oh, Hasselhoff, you got us again!

The guys at the office went cra-aa-zy and tied up this tree.

Just letting those who are concerned that using the word "mustarded" for the Christmas tree decorated with mustard packets is tasteless, upsetting, and insulting. Why? The reason should be obvious. However, how funny can it be to do a twist on a slang word (that should never be used) that is derived from a mental condition in which the onset is usually at birth?? I have a good suggestion....remove and no one will miss it!

Eric .... it is mustard-ed not mus-tarded. Why does everyone have to make something out of nothing? It's bad grammer and nothing more, don't get your panties in a twist

Mustarded! Upsetting and insulting? A mental condition from birth? If this is an attempt at humor, it went over everyone's head. If it's how you really feel, it's a very odd comment.

I love the bicycle tree. The two young men standing in front with their bikes, are 2 young Church of Jesus Christ (Mormon) Missionaries who traditionally ride around on bikes. I thought that was cool & for them, considering the tradition of traveling by bike, I'm sure really neat.

my first christmas avfter the great divorce fiasco of '03, i bought a norfolk pine, in a planter, that was about 3 ft high. i threw a single string of lights on it (with a switch for all the different twinkling modes). the ex kept all 10 billion of our ornaments, which was fine because i wanted nothing that was "ours" in my new life. so istarted out with an ornament from my mom, my sis and my new girlfriend. it was both sad and noble. my kids thought it was hilarious; comparing it to the charlie brown x-mas tree. i still have the same live norfolk pine and it's about 8 ft tall now. sure, it will never look like the standard x-mas tree, but it's now MY family tradition. my kids dig it and wouldn't think of me having any other tree. santa even left me a note under my tree one year. it read, "dear howard... sorry your ex was such a lying, conniving whore of the most evil kind,and i assure you, she WILL rot in hell. it's already been arranged, thanks for the cookies. santa. ps - i like your norfolk x-mas tree!"

The bicycle tree may be ugly but it's also quite creative.
I like the lobster pot tree best if only because lobsters make a delicious Christmas Eve dinner.
