Christmas tree ornaments can be a way to commemorate the year’s events, carry on family traditions and act as an extension of your impeccable holiday decorating style. And if this collection of fun ornaments is any indication, the last thing a holiday ornament has to be is boring.

So this year, adorn (or defile) the branches of your Christmas tree with the most delightfully strange, incredibly cool, culturally relevant and all around unique ornaments out there. Because why wouldn’t you want a rogue cocktail shrimp, a decapitated doll head and 2001 Oscars Bjork hanging from the boughs of your tree?
