27 Epic Christmas Designs That Were Terribly Miscalculated

The holiday season is supposed to be a time of cheer and everyone wants their seasonal decorations to reflect that! Images of Santa Claus, beautiful ribbons, and sparkling lights are just a few of the traditional Christmas decorations people will use to deck their halls.
