Do you remember the fashion for pink or blue flocked trees?
This was a green tree...
I’m not into pink or blue anything...
if its not red and green its not Christmas...
a bit of gold and silver to decorate the tree is good too...
pink and blue belongs on the ceiling...
and Im not getting up there to decorate it...

My favorite - and closest - aunt & uncle always got a nice, room-filling tree, and they had some flocked ones that were gorgeous. Auntie had a set of pinkish lights and tasteful ornaments that she used as long as she was still putting a tree up at Christmas. In the 50+ years since, their tree(s) remain - in my mind - the "gold standard."
A different aunt & uncle had a well-remembered aluminum "tree" that was lit up from below by a lamp with a rotating "color wheel." It was gaudy - and now stylishly retro? - but I was fascinated by it. I remember worrying that their house would burn down because I had personal knowledge of how warm that lamp could get.

How come just about the time I forget about something hideous I get reminded of it?
