Internet left baffled over Christmas ornament 'only millennials' can understand

13 hours ago 3

The fine denizens of the internet have donned their Sherlock Holmes hats to try and work out exactly what one man's Christmas tree ornament is supposed to be as we approach the big day itself.

Merry Christmas Eve to one and all, Santa Claus has already taken off and started his journey delivering presents around the world.

If you want to track his progress then the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) are keeping tabs on his sleigh ride so you can spot exactly where in the world he is right now.

While the big day itself is looming, we hope you've got everything sorted and in place, and that if it was a bit of a mad dash to the finish line you didn't have too tough a time being one of the many folks laying siege to their local supermarket.

Anyhow, at times like this it's worth thinking about what you have to be thankful for, and of course the chief among those is the Facebook page Dull Men's Club.

It's a wonderful place full of boringly fascinating posts about the sort of things folks are encountering in their lives, though some people have used the group as a surprisingly successful dating service as well.

Recently a member of the group posted a picture of a somewhat peculiar Christmas tree ornament and admitted that he was baffled over what it was supposed to be, appealing to the dull men of the internet for some help in identifying the bewildering bauble.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people on the internet who are willing to tell you things and the Dull Men's Club quickly identified it as a Christmas tree bauble intended to depict 'avocado on toast'.

People said the decoration was 'for millennials only' since that wonderful generation has had to endure so much avocado-based criticism throughout the years.

Others bickered over whether it was actually meant to be avocado toast or not since there were some who thought it looked more like a cucumber inspired Christmas decoration, though the argument was definitively settled when people began posting links to a page where you could buy the bauble which had it listed as an 'avocado toast' ornamental decoration.

This of course means that at some point in the course of human events a person has sat down and made an avocado on toast Christmas ornament.

Everybody doing a tree for Christmas is going to have their own collection of ornaments and baubles to decorate it with, including some more perplexing items which defy comprehension as to why they were made but are nevertheless part of the celebrations.

My Christmas tree, for example, would not be complete without being adorned by an ornament designed to look like a festive golden pear or a big yellow star that my sister cut out, painted and covered with glitter during her primary school days years ago.

To cast them or the avocado toast bauble out would just not be in the spirit of Christmas.
