The Great Ornament Debate
Ever wonder what your Christmas ornaments say after dark? This hilarious musical tale of baubles battling for the best branch will make you look at your tree differently! 🎄✨
🐝
Come late November in my household, it’s time to put up the Christmas tree! Since my tree doesn’t have built-in lights, the first step is always stringing the lights. Next, I root out my most treasured, sentimental ornaments—they’re always the first to go on the tree.
For example, my dear Min Pin ornament takes the top spot, followed by a St. Jude ornament and a Pooh Bear ornament. Homemade ornaments from co-workers and relatives come next, and then the store-bought ones fill in the rest.
That’s where the inspiration for this song came from!
Lyrics
[Verse]
On a frosty December night
The ornaments stirred in the soft twinkle light
A vintage glass ball shouted down from the peak
“I’ve been here since ’63, I deserve this elite seat!”
But a glittery star from the middle branch jeered
“Your paint is all faded, you look kind of weird!”
[Chorus]
Oh, the great ornament debate
Who goes where? It’s getting late!
Santa’s coming any day
While they argue and complain away
(They argue and complain away!)
[Verse]
A handmade macaroni wreath from ’92
Yelled “I’m a family treasure, I should be in clear view!”
“You’re just dried pasta and glitter glue!”
Mocked a shiny new bauble, sparkling like new
Then a candy cane chimed in, “Don’t make such a fuss,
The tree’s looking crooked from all of us!”
[Chorus]
Oh, the great ornament debate
Who goes where? It’s getting late!
Santa’s coming any day
While they argue and complain away
(They argue and complain away!)
[Bridge]
The lights started flickering, trying to speak
“Can everyone just calm down, please?
We’re all here to spread Christmas cheer
Not fight about branches through the year!”
[Verse]
A paper angel made by tiny hands
Said “Look at us fighting, nobody understands
It doesn’t matter where we hang or shine
We make Christmas magic when our lights combine!”
The ornaments paused, looked around with a glow
Realizing the truth as they swayed to and fro
[Final Chorus]
No more ornament debate
They learned their lesson, though it’s late
Now they twinkle side by side
Spreading joy on Christmas night
(Spreading joy on Christmas night!)
[Outro]
And if you listen close on Christmas Eve
You might hear them whisper from the tree
“Merry Christmas to all, from high and low,
We’re just happy to be part of the show!”

I just adore the idea of sassy Christmas ornaments! Makes decorating even more fun. Thanks for the chuckle, SupaBees!
Right? Imagine the conversations they’d spark at holiday parties!
lol imagine ur ornament throwing more shade than u can, gotta step up my game
Seems like everything has to be ‘funny’ or ‘quirky’ these days. What happened to traditional Christmas values and decorations?
chill debbie, it’s just for laughs
I think there’s room for both, traditional and funny ones make a great mix!
Always a fan of adding new vibes to the Christmas tree! But hey, can we make sure these ‘shade-throwing’ ornaments are all in good fun? Don’t want to accidentally offend a relative, LOL. But seriously, let’s keep the holiday spirit positive!
