15 Christmas Decorations That Never, Ever Should Have Been Used

It’s that time of year again for us to pull out those boxes from our attics and garages, dust off the ornaments inside, and hang them on our Christmas trees.

But while most people’s decorations have a red and green theme or feature Santa, cherubic angels, and nativity scenes, others choose decidedly more unique displays to get into the festive spirit — some of which are downright bizarre and completely inappropriate.

If you’re still looking for ways to brighten up your home for the winter holiday, here’s are some great suggestions for how NOT to decorate for Christmas. Be warned that there are a few graphic images below.
