Target has begun selling upside down Christmas trees and everyone is seriously confused

2017 has been a confusing year – Chris Pratt and Anna Faris split up, Trump tweeted about 1000 mind-boggling things (never forget covfefe), and Australia spent many hours trying to figure out exactly what happened to Jarrod’s pot plant.

To top it all off, upside down Christmas trees now exist – and they’re selling at Target for a cool $1000.

Call us old-fashioned but we’re not too sure how to feel about this festive update. Have we somehow all ended up in the Upside Down world of Stranger Things?

Naturally, Twitter has some thoughts on the matter:

This #Christmas tree at the Hotel Del Coronado is upside down! Some find it artistic while others say it's disrespectful. What do you think? pic.twitter.com/ZKM8zBRSjc
