Well, there's now news of upside down Christmas trees. The pointy part where the angel goes is at the bottom. You can buy them at Target, but they're pricey. And if that's too fancy, consider the cone weed - the weed in Huntersville, N.C., that grew up through an orange traffic cone. Firefighters decorated it before the traffic cone was taken away.
