We have an eclectic collection of ornaments rather than any single type or theme. But it struck me this year when I unwrapped it how weird this one is for a Christmas tree ornament.
My kiddo came home yesterday with a clear sphere ornament with a few small multicolored baby dolls inside. Put it right on the tree and went into their room. Had made it with friends. Apparently there was discussion about whether it was properly an orb or a bauble.
@edsa I have bought those empty clear plastic ornaments from dollar tree with plans of making cool ornaments, but somehow have never got around to the actual making.
Back in the day, it was Bud cans (empty) and JD airline bottles (full). All were invited to sample the ornaments. You had to stop when you were too shit faced to return the empty bottle from where you got it. Kind of a holiday game that required a sober moderator.
years ago, when the ex insisted on putting up a tree. And we had dogs. And cats. And I said that was a bad idea. He put raw hide candy canes on the tree as ornaments. Birdee the rawhide fiend left them alone until Christmas day when she promptly partially ate 2 of them. The slimy remainders left in the hallway for someone with bare feet to step on.

@edsa
Why did it have multicolored baby dolls inside it?

You mean like this one?
@ybmuG No black one?
@yakkoTDI sadly, no
@ybmuG If I can find my stash I may have a spare.
@yakkoTDI
I don’t have this, but I think @riskybryzness needs it.
@Kyeh
@riskybryzness absolutely needs this. Link?

@Kyeh This was last years fit check. 10/10 would hang again.
@Kyeh … I need this so bad.
@riskybryzness “fit check?”
@Kyeh My outfit! It’s not every day I have flowers in my hair.
@Kyeh @riskybryzness pics?
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974
@Kyeh @riskybryzness aawwww, did you eat your flowers?
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 sorry, yeah. I didn’t get a pic before hand.
@riskybryzness @tinamarie1974
OMG! So adorable!
Here’s one for @snapster:

@Kyeh That looks like a Pacific Northwest tree octopus.
@Kyeh I have that one! It’s not on the tree yet.
And I have this one:
@walarney
I think you have a fun tree…

Did mice long ago. Even a topper
So when you say weird…
@tinamarie1974 I’ll also accept “inappropriate”.
My weird ornaments are the ones I made last year for @koolhandjoe 's ornament contest…such fun.
Not weird but I do have this super cool Sweet Tooth ornament made by @sillyheathen.
Got these two from the other place.
This was a Christmas gift from Blipshift several years ago. I think that means I bought too many shirts from them.
The card has Santa driving Ferrari with a prancing reindeer on the yellow badge, instead of a horse.
The ornaments are:
Traction Control off.
A dragstrip “Christmas Tree” - the staging (or GO!) lights.
A shifter gate.
Three pedals, which all real cars have.
