Cardboard Christmas Tree: Yay or Nay? (1 Viewer)

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — It has been called beautiful, awesome and brilliant, a transcendent work of art that reimagines the holiday experience with local touches of the Jersey Shore.

It also has been called ridiculous, ugly and hideous, something akin to a pile of Amazon shipping boxes or a giant cat-scratching post.

Good grief!

A fresh-cut natural Christmas tree usually graces the Grand Arcade at Convention Hall on Asbury Park’s historic boardwalk.

But this year, in its place is art made of cardboard in the shape of a tree that also incorporates elements of the seashore, the city’s architecture and its rich musical heritage, which most notably includes Bruce Springsteen. It is designed to be recycled after it is dismantled……

Oh! Christmas tree? Cardboard display is the talk of a town

Opinions are flying about a cardboard Christmas tree display on the boardwalk of a Jersey Shore town where Bruce Springsteen cut his musical teeth.

I suppose it looks better than this attempt.

I don’t think I can get it through my door. Do they make other sizes?


It is made from tree though. I think I could justify it the way Cosby justified cake for breakfast. It has eggs, milk…

I think its kinda cool except for the green base.

It's a really cool historic building that from what I understand almost got destroyed by Sandy, and was just recently restored. Maybe as a town they decided to stop pushing mother nature's buttons and are leaving the trees outside (the mayor did say they would have a traditional outdoor tree lighting)

Well it is pretty flammable, unlike a real...wait, nvm.

It is as beautiful as it is hideous.
It’s like that woman you’re trying very hard to be attracted to, but it’s not working. She’s nice and sweet but looks like your uncle Joe in the face. You know what I’m talkin’ about?

If the tree is shaped like the one from @Marty_Graw, perhaps the door opening can um, adjust, to get it through the door?

I love that Cosby skit. Not that I like Cosby.
