Christmas may be about traditions, but some stores are flipping things around.
They’re selling upside down Christmas trees. Home Depot, Target, Walmart,Kohls and Bed Bath & Beyond all have the them for sale. Some of the upside down trees are already sold out.
Upside down trees retail for around $150-$1,000.
This isn’t the first time the topsy-turvy trees have been fashionable. Home decorating website The Spruce says the tradition of “hanging a Christmas tree upside down from the ceiling is an old one in Central and Eastern Europe.”
It may be an old tradition, but many people are confused.
“The upside-down Christmas tree is exactly why I don’t bother to keep up with trends – it looks ridiculous,” one woman tweeted.
Others were confused by the price.
“I have a lot of questions. Why is Target selling an upside down Christmas tree? Why is it nearly $1000? Is this a Stranger Things joke that I’m missing? Someone help,” another tweet read.

There’s a new one born every minute.
Yup
Several….
Maybe the “upside down” Christmas tree is analogous to the upside-down crucifixion cross worn by Satanists and pretenders… Either way, a Christmas tree is part of the Yuletide pagan ritual anyway, so to me these is no difference.
Aww cmon DL. You’re not going to make high Mass???
“Why is Target selling an upside down Christmas tree? Why is it nearly $1000?”
Because there are enough stupid sheeple out there willing to fork over that kind of mammon for one.
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
TWO, these days, Angel. 🙁
My friend told me about hers from 20 years ago. She actually hanged it from the ceiling though. Yesterday a friend of here sent her a link and was laughing about 20 years ago. At least here was decorated with joints made of real pot.
LOL 😉 😀 😆
There is a sucker born every minute
Each time the second hand sweeps to the top
Like dandelions up they pop,
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide.
And though I feed ‘em bonafide baloney
With no truth in it
Why you can bet I’ll find some rube to buy my corn.
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
And I’m referrin’ to the minute you were born.
Each blessed hour brings sixty of ‘em
Each time the wooden cuckoo shows his face
Another sucker takes his place,
And plunks his quarter on the line
To buy my brand of genuine malarkey.
God bless and love ‘em!
But don’t feel sad or hoppin’ mad or cause a scene
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
But Ma’am you mighta been the minute in between.
If I allow that right here in my hands
The smallest living human man
The sight of that is surely worth a dime
If I present an educated pooch
Who’s trained to dance the hoochie cooch
What better way to waste a bit of time
If I imported monumental cost
A lady, fair, who’s head was lost
While crossing railroad tracks to pick some zinnias
Who eats farina through a hose
And wares pink tights instead of clothes
If that ain’t worth a buck my name ain’t Phineas
Aw you say that’s hog wash well who cares
You’ll buy my hog was long as
There’s a sucker born every minute
Each time the second hand sweeps to the top
Like dandelions up they pop,
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide.
And though my tale is bonafide baloney,
Just let me spin it,
And ain’t no man who can resist me wait and see
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
And friends the biggest one excluding none is me!
Really a smart thing to do to your kids or family members, put an upside down Christmas tree in your home, really really intelligent.
Where the hell are the upside down manorahs?
