Christmas may be the time for laughter and joy. However, it's also been the holiday where some of the strangest -- and, many times, ugliest -- things have been created. From
crazy Christmas light displays to
the infamous bad holiday sweater, there's no denying that Dec. 25 can really bring the ugly.
While it wouldn't be Christmas without a tree, there are some that we wish never existed. We've already showed you
a group of trees that definitely make the "worst" list, but here are some more that have made Lemondrop's ugly list.

Dolls may still be a popular Christmas present, but we're sure that no one will ever want to see doll heads replace those colorful shiny ball ornaments.

Tin foil, streamers and even a big red bow couldn't help this poor tree out.

These trees are a perfect Christmas centerpiece -- if you lived in outer space.

Not only would PETA be mad at this, but Yetis would be in uproar if they knew their coats were being used as Christmas decorations.

Who knew tinsel could actually be the tree opposed to just decoration for one?

The Green Movement may have gone a little too far with this one.

When the Christmas lights don't work or all the ornaments broke, stuffed monsters and a John Malkovich name tag will always save the day.

Who cares about the looks of a tree. Why can't we all get back to the TRUE meaning of CHRISTmas? It shouldn't be about the amount of present under the tree or the beauty of the tree itself. Lets stop and take pause and appreciate how good we have it in this country as compared to others AND appreciate our loved ones. Most importantly, let's remember what this holiday is supposed to signify.......the birth of Christ..........not the bottom line for the tree salesman or Macys.

Call me crazy but I think all of those trees but the last one are kinda cute in their own way.

Half of those trees in there are extremely creative and beautiful in an eccentric way.
Some really have no taste. It is called thinking out of the box.
