People are mercilessly ridiculing Montreal's scrawny Christmas tree
This year, Montreal wanted to have the tallest, most magnificent Christmas tree in all of North America. It did not do that.
But the city did achieve part of its goal. Its new fir is not the tallest in North America (it's about six feet shorter than the Rockefeller Plaza tree), nor does anyone seem to find it magnificent in any way. But it sure is a tree! Good job on that.
And as it is a funny-looking thing displayed in public, people have lots of jokes about it. Hey, we shouldn't be so harsh -- Charlie Brown would probably be very impressed.

As with any viral object unable to speak for itself, the tree has even acquired its own Twitter account, @SapInLaid ("ugly tree" in French).
Admit it, though. With the proper care and a few lights, the tree is kinda cute -- and isn't that what Christmas is all about or whatever?
