Every time I turn around, I hear about this year’s trend of kitschy Christmas ornaments. The word on the trend-street is that people are decorating their holiday trees with tiny, glittering air fryers and miniature bags of frozen kale. Sadly, this trend has only disappointed me thus far because no one has mentioned the kitschiest of all tree ornaments: the brick ornaments you make yourself.

We’re really sitting on a gold mine of untapped potential here. If kitschy’s what you want, bricks are where it’s at. And they’re reusable! Once the holiday’s over, you can take them apart, toss the hanger in a jar until next year, and devote the bricks to your next creative project.

Yup, no landfill needed. Brick ornaments will also cheerfully withstand any pet or small children’s antics without a single smash of glass. Better yet, the bricks will never embarrass you in ten years when someone questions your relationship with frozen kale.

Given the wonderful stress-busting powers of bricks, why not invite your friends over for an evening of brick ornament making? You can use your bricks to recreate your favorite flag, mini Christmas trees, boats, or even hang your minifigs on your tree as they are to show them off. Better yet, why not go full kitsch and have your minifigs posed over your tree as if it were under construction?

Like most things bricks, your imagination is the only limit to what you can create! But don’t forget that, as you giggle over your creations with your friends, you’re also deepening your bonds and making memories… while also helping to reduce their stress levels. You’re such a good friend!

You could also make a contest out of making brick ornaments at your office holiday party. Yowza, now you’re helping the office deal with stress, too. Make sure this gets noted in your personnel file!
