A Unicode Xmas Tree For You: Decorate, share, and send your very own unicode Christmas tree [via mefi projects]
Of course, I'm all ISO Latin 1, but whatever, I'm simple that way.

This link does not contain any Unicorn Xmas Trees. Fortunately, I was only confused for a moment and was alone at the time. Clearly, I spared myself the embarrassment of not knowing what Unicode is and substituting the closest-to-it word in my mind...
Oh. Damn.

The "REDECORATE" option seems dangerous.

Is there any way to get the cross to be bigger? I’m not sure the Unicode tree will be able to reflect the true meaning of CHRISTmas

I'm convinced that this website was put up as a research project merely to clock how fast Godwin's law kicks in nowadays.

You can include your own custom symbols by pasting them into the little boxes labeled "character". If you want a swastika tree, go for it! As douglaswth and I said on the Projects post, the choice of ornaments is intentionally open-ended to allow for all religious and secular traditions that involve shiny green HTML trees in the winter.
Also notice that when you hover over the color selector, each color has a name. These are the extended color names in CSS. My original xmas tree had the color "snow" for the snowman, "deepskyblue" for the umbrella, "goldenrod" for the flower, "forestgreen" for the tree, etc. etc. I like trying to use weird color names whenever I make websites.
Anyway, I'm so excited that you guys like our dorky little holiday project. I'm poking Doug to add more of these to the Featured Trees section.

I decorated my tree entirely with secular ornaments and named it my "war on christmas" tree.
