Over the past few years, people have complained that Hobart's Christmas decorations have been "the worst in the country".
Christmas in #Hobart #Taamania #Australia http://t.co/E5AjHoglzg
So this year, Hobart Council decided to step up their game with this ~edgy~, ~modern~, and ~funky~ tree, which cost $35,000 to erect.
Too bad everyone seems to hate it.
@abcnews that's not a Christmas tree Hobart. Those are just sticks with lights
And no one thinks it looks like an actual Christmas tree.
@abcnewsTas @abcnews Looks like the protective foam my pawpaw comes packaged in at the grocers ..with some sticks and lights #ThatsNotArt
Especially considering the price tag.
And people were quick to compare it to trees around the world.
You only had one job, #Hobart City Council.. Hobart's $35,000 modern #Christmas tree panned https://t.co/vC7nL0Y8ud
This guy's got an alternative for them.
The Hobart Council's 2nd choice Christmas Tree design @cohobart #worstchristmastree #hobart
A Christmas tree farm in Tasmania is jumping on the bandwagon and using this as a great chance to advertise.
Arguably, it does look pretty cool once you get inside the tree, which is probably the reaction that Hobart Council was going for.
Maybe it just needs a little love...?
