Crappy Christmas decorations

Any particular Christmas decorations that you're not fond of? Not necessarily your own (why would you have kept them, out of a feeling of obligation because someone close gave them to you?)

Maybe your neighbors have some sort of decorations or a local business puts up some sort of rather lame festive-looking stuff that you'd prefer never to see again.

Cheap, gawdy, and plastic. Once upon a time holiday decorations were a feat. As a kid we used to pile in the car and drive through neighborhoods marveling over the wonders of lights and lit sculptures--often cut from wood.

It looks like an inexplicably tall turd, decorated with tiny lights.

If it wasn't for that damned poop emoji, I'd probably say it looks like chocolate soft serve ice cream. Thanks to that thing, all I can see is this: 💩
