Years ago, my sister and mom started an “ugly ornament” exchange each Xmas, where they’d try to find the ugliest ornaments they could and give one to each other. It’s been hysterical to see what they come up with each year. I present to you a thread... starting with a TV Dinner. pic.twitter.com/UuV2O5sqmJ

Every family that celebrates Christmas puts their own spin on the usual traditions, or else starts their own. Years later, these an be cherished family memories, even when they are ridiculous. Julia Mordaunt tells us how her family's ugly ornament exchange got started.
And this is why I love my family so much! I highly recommend the tradition ! It brings our family a ton of laughs each year (like cry laughing) and lots of joy each year. Smoking pot helps too. And the fact that they keep them on their trees each year is amazing. Happy holidays!

If you look hard enough, you'll find that anything and everything can be made into a Christmas tree ornament. A zebra in a fancy skirt. A hippo wearing high heels. Over the years, these ornaments grew into collections for both the mother and the sister. Putting up the tree is a source of giggles for each ornament unpacked. And you can bet it's a real conversation-starter when guests come over. See all the ornaments in a ranked gallery at Bored Panda. You might even like some of them.
