Ugly Ornaments?
We have a Palmer family tradition of taking whatever inside joke or goofy thing that makes us laugh and hanging it up on the tree. This includes such classics as…
- Legless Elf Hanging From His Crotch
- Murderous Wooden Archangel
- Handstitched SISI (an Austrian Empress) coaster, turned upside down so it says ISIS


Make Your Own!
We’ll have a workshop in the backyard with googly eyes, glitter, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners and glue guns – plus whatever we found in the junk drawer. Feel free to bring whatever trinket or oddball thing you have lying around that requires embellishment. Already have a weird ornament? Bring it along! Don’t want to bother with the whole thing? No prob, it’s just a fun theme – we just wanted to hang out with you anyway 🙂 We’ll have a special judging display for everyone to vote at 7pm…
Judging Categories:
- Ugliest 🏆
- Funniest 😂
- Cutest 🩷
- Most Bizarre 🤪
- Pure Nightmare Fuel 💀
Bring A Mug!
We’re into sustainability, and would love to not have a sink full of dishes – so we’ll be asking you to bring a mug. The more unique the better, so it doesn’t get confused with someone else’s. We’ll be serving up these mug worthy food and drinks…
- Chili
- Some sorta soup?
- Hot Chocolate
- Cider
- Beer
- Wine
- Cookies
Spoons and napkins provided! Along with a mug cleaning station.


What can I bring?
- Yourself!
- Your mug
- An ugly ornament, or something to decorate and make into an ornament
- We’re good on food and drink, but feel free to bring some cookies or some sort of dessert that fits in a hand or mug if you really want
- Something warm to wear in the backyard or rooftop deck
