The holiday season is quickly approaching, and it’s that time of year again when you will see the most ingenious redneck Christmas decorations making their appearance at homes across the country. Even way before Thanksgiving people have already begun to put up a lot of these decorations, and the results are pretty hilarious, to say the least. It’s one of the best parts of the holiday season every year. You just never know what you will see once you venture off of the main highway onto the back roads of America. Some of them will make you laugh, some of them will catch your attention due to their shocking nature and some of them you’ll see and just ask yourself ‘WTF’?

You’ll see how disgustingly creative some people can be with only a strand of Christmas lights. You won’t believe some of the things you’ll see, and you will be left wondering how anyone could have come up with these ideas. Rednecks certainly decorate a bit differently from the rest of society, and you’ll see plenty of examples here today. I promise that you’ll laugh when you see Santa stopping for a pee break, the beer can Christmas wreath, or a Christmas tree adorned with beer cans and cigarette packs.

15. Deck The Halls With Beer Can Wreaths Fa-La-La-La

All of those beer cans have to go somewhere right? Normally they end up in the garbage or the recycling bin; but if you are a redneck celebrating the holiday season, you just might come up with something like this. Anyone who has ever tasted a Pabst Blue Ribbon might agree that using the cans to make a Christmas wreath, might be a better alternative than actually drinking the beer inside. All of these are empty though, so we are just guessing that all of that wonderful beer was indeed consumed. Maybe that’s where the idea came from. The “40 and Fantastic” ribbon is a nice touch although a blue ribbon would have been a better fit.

14. Bud Lite, Star Bright, Make My Wish Come True Tonight

Yes, there is no doubt that beer is a staple for rednecks, and a lot of it is consumed annually; especially if you are an entire redneck family. It looks like the more beer downed is directly proportional to the dumber the idea that is hatched. Maybe dumb isn’t the right word; perhaps “interesting” is a better description. Here we have a Bud Light star on top of a Christmas tree. This one took some doing. Scissors had to be used to cut the cans to precisely the right angles for use. The more I look at it the more I’m actually impressed. It just might be the perfect topper for your tree this year! Now you know what to do with all of those empty beer cans!

13. The Family Ladder Tree

All I can say about this is WOW! Using a normal everyday step ladder as a Christmas tree is simply ingenious. It’s perfect because it gives plenty of room underneath for all the gifts. Think of all the presents you will be able to buy with the money you save from not having to buy a real Christmas tree. The ornaments, lights and garnish are perfectly hung with care, and it’s probably easy to decorate with the built-in steps available. This tree is stable and probably won’t be tipping over, even if the cat jumps up onto it. It actually takes up half the space that a regular tree would as well. Maybe this house belongs to a handyman or maybe a painter? Either way, I’ll bet the tree’s name is Stanley.

12. Light Up Bottle Tree

Empty beer cans are not the only problem in the life of a redneck, because a lot of them drink beer out of bottles as well. They are a bit more dangerous though because when you mix glass and drunkenness there is no telling what might happen. Here is a perfect example of that. It’s just your normal every day Beer Bottle Christmas Tree. The bottles are perfectly positioned and then covered with lights all around. It would be very interesting to see what it looks like with the lights on. The glass might actually give them a nice reflection. Either way, this is one tree you definitely don’t want to knock over.

11. Dead Deer Hanging

Now, this one is very interesting. It shows originality, creativity and someone who definitely isn’t afraid to shock the neighbours. Of course, if you live in a redneck neighbourhood, this might not be that shocking to you. The deer hanging from the tree is a different twist on things and the trail of red lights, depicting blood, is a well thought out, very interesting way to decorate. What makes it even better, is the deer on the right taking notice of his buddy up there. Hopefully, he is thinking “Maybe I should stay away from this guys house!” This one would absolutely win the award for Most Original!

10. Rake Tree Wreath

Sometimes you just don’t have the money to go out and buy a new Christmas tree! Even the fake ones can get to be a bit pricey depending on the style and size you go for. If you fall into that category this is the perfect solution for you. No redneck Christmas would ever be complete without the ever popular Redneck Rake Christmas Tree. It’s a best seller this time of year at Walmart’s all across the southeast. If you can scrounge up six or seven bucks, and have some extra buttons lying around the trailer, this beauty could be all yours!

9. When You Just Don’t Have A Sleigh With Enough Reindeers

If your kids have not yet seen Santa’s sleigh and his reindeer, you might not want to let them see this picture. It could scar them for life. The red Volkswagen bug with the Alabama Crimson Tide logo on the side of it is a perfect depiction of the sleigh, isn’t it? The reindeer that are “pulling” it must be quite strong since there are only two of them. Speaking of that, imagine the effort it took to get that car up there in the air? The Alabama Crimson Tide flag, the long blue mobile home and the tarp room at the end of the trailer, tell you all you need to know. This is one redneck Christmas decoration you will never forget!

8. Spoofing Or Not ??

As much as I want to say that this isn’t a real redneck family, I just can’t. I want to say it’s a regular family that is perfectly portraying what a redneck Christmas just might look like. However, everything is just a bit too perfect so this just might be the real deal. So beware, because you don’t want to run into this couple if nobody else is around. The tree is carefully decorated with Budweiser cans and Marlboro cigarette packs, with the empty case of beer acting as the finishing touch on top of the tree. All of this coupled with the clothes they are wearing has to make you feel sorry for that baby to be!

7. Rudolph The Red Lone Reindeer

There is no better reminder that Christmas is right around the corner than having Rudolph up on your wall right? He probably wishes he was at the North Pole preparing to pull Santa’s sleigh, but being on the wall of a redneck house isn’t that bad as a second option is it? The hat is a perfect fit, but the nose looks like it needs a little work. If it were just a little bigger it would be a perfect fit; but overall it’s not a bad look and it’s not really a stretch to go from just a regular deer to decorated reindeer.

6. It’s A Rubber Tree Christmas

This is awesome! It is the perfect shape to go along with an almost perfect colour combination and no watering required. It’s obvious that a lot of work went into this, and it paid off with a great end result. What else can you do with a bunch of old tires? The decorations are flawless and it has everything. Garland, bows, bells and regular ornaments have all been carefully placed on this heaping pile of rubber. The presents underneath the tree are just as impressive… more tires, windshield washer fluid and motor oil! It looks like there is an extension cord running to the back of the tree so it might even light up as well!

5. Shotgun Shell Horn Decor 

Now, a lot of work went into this one. Plenty of spent shotgun shells were obviously lined up on a table, and then each one had a small light inserted into it. Strung together with care they make the perfect redneck Christmas light decorations. When you hang them on a pair of antlers it gets even better! What redneck home would be complete without this awesome display? It’s probably the envy of everyone in the neighbourhood, and as we speak there are probably shotgun shells lined up on tables across every mobile home park in America! Yes, this is an absolute must-have!

4. When You’ve Got To Go – But Santa, Seriously?

I’m not really sure if this one is a lack of class or just ingenious. You know what; it just might be the perfect combination of both! You cannot fault the owner here for having plenty of originality to go along with a very creative mind, to come up with the design. It couldn’t have been easy to get the pee arch just right with a strand of Christmas lights, so you have to give them some credit. If Santa is running late to your house keep this image in mind because it might just be the reason why. It’s a very long and cold night for him!

3. Shell Wreath (And Not The Sea Kind)

This is a perfect example of a redneck Christmas decoration, but it could certainly double as a Mexican wreath as well. It has so many colours that you can’t really look away. A great deal of time and effort went into making this one, and the final result is pretty impressive! It’s hard to tell, but it looks like there might be some lights in some of them which would make it even that much better. The straw rope is a perfect touch for the bow to finish off a true redneck Christmas decoration. I don’t think this one will be available on Black Friday at the stores though!

2. John ReinDeere Sled

This is another example of what might happen when too much beer is consumed! You just might decide to turn your John Deere into a Santa Sleigh, but it seems strangely appropriate. Obviously, a lot of time and care went into the details of this and it’s actually pretty cool. The reindeer heads are an awesome touch because who needs legs for flying? Santa is clearly having a good time passing out presents too. Warn your children though… if they see Santa wearing sunglasses at night, he might not be the real deal! But hey, if he’s plowing around the trailer park handing out presents on something that resembles a sleigh, he can’t be all that bad, can he?

1. The Solo Cup Tree

When you have too much time on your hands and too many red solo cups in the house, what are you going to do? This certainly looks like a fun project to get into, but it also looks like it might take a very steady hand. Getting those cups into the perfect position takes time and effort; and you have to be extremely careful when you put the lights on it. Overall it’s a pretty cool thing to have on a table around Christmas time, but I don’t think it should be the solo tree of the residence as it looks like it is in this case.
