8. Spike

Glittering and sharp, this tree is as beautiful as it is dangerous.  Do not attempt to hang ornaments without gloves.






We bought a tree like this once, years ago, under the deluded notion that it was "just a little sharp and wouldn't be that bad."  Then this happened:


Which also coincided nicely with the natural increase in needle loss.


Pros:  Pretty.  Cats and children may avoid climbing it.  If a burglar breaks into your house, you can throw the tree at them.

Cons:  Needles stick in the carpet, so your feet will be reminded of this tree for months to come.

Oh Christmas Tree!  There are more Unnecessary Winter Holiday Traditions.  Oh yes, really.
