Thanksgiving is almost here, and for many of us, that means heading back to our childhood homes. It’s that time of year when we get to see the quirky decor our parents have clung to for years. One Twitter user named Sarah recently invited her followers to share photos of the bizarre items lurking in their parents’ homes, and the responses have been nothing short of hilarious!
You know how it goes—if your bathroom doesn’t have a seashell collection, does it even count as a bathroom? And while science suggests that putting up Christmas decorations in November can boost our mood, some of the stuff we found is definitely questionable.
Like that Elvis statue that looks more like a hipster who just left a coffee shop to hand out flyers for an open mic night. And who doesn’t have a quirky egg room, right? Shoutout to Grandma for her endless love of cross-stitching! And let’s not forget the punny kitchen towels that every “Certified Crazy Aunt” seems to own. Yikes.
In my case, my parents divorced ages ago, and they weren’t exactly great at keeping our childhood treasures. I remember the holidays were a mixed bag of cringe-worthy decorations—from a gaudy witch’s broom for Halloween to a singing Hermie from Rudolph that was just a tad too much. Oh, and for a solid decade, our living room was decked out in red, white, and blue—no exceptions!
If you’re feeling a little PTSD from all the bizarre figurines, porcelain dolls, or even those infamous bathroom seashells, just know you’re not alone.
