Christmas tree trends are like brush fires. They happen every year, flame brightly for a moment and then disappear in a blaze of glory... or to the basement, where all ignominious and ill-planned mistakes are retired, so they may never again see the light of day or offend their makers with gross reminders of their stupidity.
Remember when tinsel trees were a trend?

There's also the matter of upside down trees, a more recent trend.

To that atrocity we say a big, fat NOPE.

If you think about it, pineapples are the perfect fruit to replace Christmas trees. They're very versatile.
