A sparse and sad-looking Christmas tree erected outside Macy's in Cincinnati, Ohio has been dubbed the 'ultimate symbol of 2020'.

Photos of the 'pathetic' spruce were shared to social media on Saturday, with dozens of users claiming it perfectly reflected a gloomy year that featured racially-motivated violence, political turmoil and a global pandemic.

'Not sure what happened to the Christmas tree at Fountain Square but it's the most #Christmas2020 tree ever,' Cincinnati Enquirer photojournalist Cara Owsley wrote on Twitter.

She then shared an image of the tree, which featured an exposed trunk and thin, drooping branches.

That reminds me of the USSR. Soviets were great at depressing everyone with efforts that could only be described as psych warfare.

Looks like something that would be posted on the “Instagram Reality” sub-reddit.

Eventually it just might be called “Number 11” in Adam Quark’s reality.

$5 at a yard sale. They forgot to bring the box of branches and needles that came with it.

Granny used to go to the Christmas Tree lot at closing time on December 24th. The leftover trees were not the best ones by any means but very often free or at little cost. They called for creative decorating. As to this tree, it seems like the top is in better condition than the bottom. Perhaps the top could be cut off and become The Tree. No harm in having a shorter tree.
