When it comes to choosing ornaments for the best artificial Christmas trees, or any kind of tree for that matter, personal preference makes a big difference. For some, traditional colors, traditional styles and a traditional approach are the answer, with little wiggle room for individual creativity. Others aren’t so bound by what has come before, exercising a more “if it looks nice, makes you smile or maybe even just came free with your high-fiber cereal, then cram it on the tree” approach.  If you fall into this latter category, our list of funny Christmas ornaments is definitely for you.
