Upside-down Christmas trees are now a thing and we don't know what to think

So  apparently turning your Christmas tree upside down is a thing now. 

 

From the trendiest hotels, to shopping centres, Christmas trees are being suspended from the ceiling or being mounted by the tip. 

 

 

So...all’s well that ends well in Mayfair tonight #safehomeeveryone #takecare #ClaridgesChristmasTree #KarlLagerfeld #KarlXClaridges thanks @dannyborchert #lightsdown #claridges

Wow! We know the upside down Christmas tree is all the rage, but this one, decorated in crystals and suspended from the 112 foot dome above the @westfieldsfcentre will simply blow you away.

Upside down Christmas trees have an ancient history however. In eastern Europe, upside down trees were suspended from the roof as a symbol of the holy trinity. 

 

These traditions have changed over time however and it is now thought that the tree should be pointing upwards to heaven. This has led some to question whether the practise of turning a Christmas tree upside down is disrespectful. 

 

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

 We have to admit though, some of the creations are fabulous. It's especially handy if have small children in the house who might be tempted to play with the tree decorations.

So what do you think? A catching trend or a passing phase?
