Deliberately sparse Christmas trees — chic or ridiculous?

FWIW, when I saw the title I imagined a sparsely decorated tree, not sparse foliage. I could get behind a nice full Frasier fir with lights but no ornaments easier than the Charlie Brown tree limbs. It all comes down to preference.

I was thinking of moving my tree to the front porch this year. I have a colonial with a big front porch the full length of the house. I was wondering if it would be tacky. I just hate rearranging the house to accommodate the tree.

I think it would be cheery - I have a preschooler and every single piece of holiday decor she spies makes her day. I probably wouldn't hang any treasured ornaments though, just lights and maybe some generic ornaments.
