Christmas Tree Decorations

Perhaps it is just me.  Perhaps it is where I live.  Perhaps it is because everything is made in some foreign country by little children who are paid 2 cents per hour...but I find the Christmas decorations at the Walmart, Michael's and Kirkland's to be extremely offensive and an affront to my sense of harmony.  The colors of red are bloody and caustic, the greens are Grinch green....even the birds are an rasping blue.  Why!  I was never an admirer of green and red for Christmas trees, but puke green is beyond my mind to envelope.  White and gold and silver was all I could endorse today.  I like some new stuff.  Pink is nice.  Maybe I am old.  Black balls for a tree are beyond my imagination...even artistically.
Love,
Betty

                             Do you have a Target or a Hobby Lobby near you ?

                                       Cheers..Joe.......

Joe, I will look them up online.  Nothing is near me.  Everything is at least 30 miles away.  I was looking for simple and pretty things to add to my stash.  hahah.  Love, Betty

I understand your frustratin, Betty; the decorations sound a little garish, but I have to admit that I, personally, wouldn't mind having a bit of cranberry and myrtle under mine this year.
    

I am only putting up our white tree this year.  We put clear crystal decorations on it.  We used to have huge real trees , but have simplified.
