2024 Christmas Bazar's Ugly Ornament Trophy Grabber

Time for the 2024 whimsical tale from Christmas Bazaar's Ugly Ornament Land. The mission? To find that one item that's so outlandishly hilarious and beautifully bizarre, it's guaranteed to snag the coveted crown of "What the heck is that, and where can I get one?"

Let me tell you, this year was a curveball wrapped in a riddle. Crafters have been sipping serious creative juice, elevating their game to genius levels!

And, drumroll, please... the season's trophy grabber was the illustrious Pickleball Pall. Picture this: an array of strange colors like the solvent green meets walking dead and decided to crash on your Christmas tree. My choices of color included  black and blue, two-tone white, and this green/aqua marvel that caught my eye - a true gem amidst the treasure trove.

At first glance, I thought, "Is this a chew toy in disguise, trying to make a break for the festive scene?" A cat toy?

But upon closer inspection, it's clear this isn't just any ornament; it's fashion meets function with a twist. With a keychain type hook that screams, "Ease of use, baby!" it's ready to shimmy its way onto your tree and into the holiday spirit hall of fame.

Choosing the aqua/green—a choice that, in hindsight, seems inspired by the very essence of holiday mischief—felt like serendipity. A color so enigmatic, it's as if it whispered, "Pick me, and let's make Christmas history."

And there it will hang, on my mom's tree, a beacon of joyful absurdity, proving once again that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Or, in this case, the loop of the tree hook. My minds eye very much wants to hot-glue googly eyes on it. Should I?

So, to all my kindred spirits reveling in the joy of gifting something so wonderfully weird and whimsically wild, here's to us. May our trees be eclectic and our holidays be filled with laughter and light. Cheers to making memories with the quirkiest of ornaments at the helm.
