Now, this one is a work of art.
This rather oversized styrofoam ball has been lovingly wrapped in roast-turkey-brown tissue paper with grassy-green tissue paper gracing the north and south poles. To round out the design, 3-D papier-mâché pastoral scenes were lovingly crafted, reminiscent of Fromentin or Vernet (I'm pretty sure those white blobs represent sheep).
A snow-dusted barn sits in what is possibly the middle of a lake, while what is either a haystack or a dinner roll sit at the edge of a lazy river, flowing from a wedge of white brie.
This is the kind of ornament that you display proudly in the middle of the tree, at eye-level, where guests can gaze into its depths while sipping their eggnog, the equivalent of a seven-foot elf screaming "HOLIDAYS" right in your face with onion breath.
