SantaCon Costumes Are Coming to Town (Second Edition)

Last year, I did a SantaCon post after the event kicked off since I had to be in Virginia for my sister’s graduation. This year, I vow not to make the same mistake again since I have plenty of costumes left over from that time. As you know, SantaCon is an American tradition in which people from all over the country (as well as the world) gather each year dressed as Christmas characters where they parade and go on a pub crawl. Since its origins in San Francisco, this annual event has become known as a reviled bar crawl with a reputation of drunken brawling, vandalism, and disorder in New York City and elsewhere. And as a result, there’s been fierce community resistance about the whole thing, especially from parents who really don’t want to explain why Santa has been arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. Still, thanks to Pinterest, I can have a little fun with this while the events are on. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of SantaCon costumes.

You can’t be a sexy Frosty unless you come in a big puffy skirt.

Well, this isn’t as bad as the girly snowman outfits from last year. Yet, she’ll probably be shivering in it in some places.

2. You can always shimmer and shine in a silver Santa dress.

Kind of reminds you of something Mariah Carey would wear in a music video. Also seems to contain a lot of sequins.

3. I call this one the stripper Santa girl outfit.

Then again, I really shouldn’t make fun of strippers. They have horrible lives. Also, this isn’t suitable for cold increment weather.

4. This Mrs. Claus costume endears with Christmas elegance.

Love the fancy golden embroidery on it, too. And you thought lady Santa outfits were scantily looking.

5. Have a toast to SantaCon with these Santa pimp cups.

Well, at least they all have cups that are in celebration with the season. Though one seems to be a bit south of the border.

6. To lead your sleigh, SantaCon can’t do without Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Now this is a cute costume. However, at these events, it’s said that Rudolph’s red nose makes him the designated driver.

7. Of course, a doe must always look her best.

Well, with reindeer both sexes have antlers. However, I don’t think she’s actually dressed as one though. Then again, reindeer often aren’t accurately depicted in Christmas media anyway.

8. For a traditional Santa costume, look no further.

Funny I didn’t put a traditional Santa in my SantaCon post from last year. Still, hope this makes up for it.

9. Any woman wants to stand out in a Santa outfit this Christmas might want to go with a greener option.

Yes, they have those Santa dresses in green as well. Still, like how it goes with green fur trimmed boots.

10. For a naugthy Santa’s little helper, this scanty costume might be to your fancy.

I’m not sure if this is lingerie or not but it sure looks like it. Yet, since it comes with boots, you really can’t say.

11. At SantaCon, it always helps to be present.

Well, she’s dressed as a present anyway. Like how she used tinsel and wrapping paper for her costume. Hope it doesn’t rain or snow.

12. Sometimes a toy soldier would rather stand with a Christmas tree.

Not sure what to think about the Christmas tree costume in this. Yet, at least he made an effort you should appreciate.

13. A lady elf costume should always come with striped tights.

I showed the male counterpart of this costume last year. I know it looks pretty dumb but it’s Christmas related. So it goes on the post.

14. Guess these two gingerbread girls have just ran a race.

I’m not sure if these costumes are from SantaCon. Maybe some Christmas related race. But they’re Christmas related so who cares.

15. In this pink Santa getup, you’ll be sure St. Nick will come down the chimney tonight.

I think I might’ve gone a bit overboard with this one. Still, it does seem like something mommy would wear, uh never mind.

16. A snowman outfit like this might give you the frosty reception you’re looking for.

But it might not be the kind you think. Because it might lead you to freeze your ass off.

17. Gingy and his girl come to SantaCon for some good times and sweet fun.

Well, these are quite cute. But please don’t touch the buttons. Not the gum drop buttons.

18. You always know that Santa will need his little helpers at SantaCon.

Or if you work at Santaland at the mall. Nevertheless, there’s nothing wrong dressing like these elves.

19. Even the Mrs. Claus must have some fun now and then.

Of course, this is a traditional Mrs. Claus outfit. Yes, it looks homey but what the hell.

20. Even Buddy the Elf would take part in the SantaCon festivities.

Actually Buddy the Elf would really not have any idea about SantaCon. And he wouldn’t really understand a wasted Santa. Please don’t try to explain.

21. Apparently, Santa Claus is a Cleveland Browns fan.

Unfortunately, the Browns aren’t doing too well this year. Then again, they don’t seem to do well period.

22. This toy soldier gives the right salute.

Well, I have to admit, this is a rather clever costume. Like the hat.

23. For SantaCon, this woman decided to go as a reindeer snowman.

Guess she couldn’t really decide. At least she’s covered from head to toe for the most part.

24. A candy cane reindeer at SantaCon is anything but sweet.

Yes, I know her costume is quite skimpy for some people’s taste. But you have to admire her creativity with this one.

25. Fans of Christmas Story might want to go with this leg lamp costume.

I showed a DIY leg lamp costume from last year’s post. Yet, this one comes up further from the waist.

26. It’s always lonely to be an Elf on the Shelf.

Though to be fair, the Elf on the Shelf thing is as creepy as hell. Maybe that explains why he does so many naughty things when parents and children aren’t looking.

27. This angel should always go on top of the Christmas tree.

Okay, she’s probably in a short skirt that many people don’t perceive to be holy. Yet, it’s surely in the spirit of the season.

28. At SantaCon, you won’t always know what Santas you’ll see.

From what I can tell, I see a pirate Santa, a reggae Santa, and a disheveled Santa. I know it’s hard to explain but what do you know?

29. Mr. Candy Cane is always at your service.

He even has his own candy cane hat and red bowtie. His candy cane vest is also in white and red stripes.

30. The star always goes on top of the Christmas tree.

She’s even decked in tinsel and ornaments. Also have to admire the striped tights.

31. This Mrs. Claus outfit will make you a sweet darling at SantaCon.

Actually, I’m not sure if it’s even a Mrs. Claus outfit. But it includes an apron and it’s unique. So it goes on this post.

32. You can always have your SantaCon outfit trimmed with fur.

Yes, this is a sexy Mrs. Claus costume according to Pinterest. But at least it comes with a jacket.

33. For those who aren’t too into Christmas at SantaCon, this Grinch costume will suit your fancy.

After all, SantaCon isn’t a kind of event that makes Christmas look good. So a Grinch costume is perfect.

34. Now you’d certainly call her a genuine candy striper.

That’s because she’s dressed like a candy cane. You know the red and white stripes scheme.

35. Hope this soldier girl has her musket at the ready.

To be fair, the gun is only a prop. But I’m sure she wouldn’t be allowed at some establishments during the bar crawl with that.

36. How about a present in green and red?

Well, it’s green wrapped with a red ribbon. At any rate, don’t open till Christmas.

37. Here we find the Grinch with Cindy Lou Who.

These two seem to wear the costumes from the movie. Like the Christmas sweater one.

38. These women vow to shine bright as different colored lights.

Well, these seem to be simple costumes. But when one goes out, they all go.

39. Clark Griswold knows his way around with lights.

Actually he doesn’t. But I like how this guy has his Christmas lights in a ball. That’s hilarious.

40. These advent calendar girls are counting down the days till Christmas.

Well, they just have advent calendars over their outfits. And they both seem to be Christmas trees.

41. Sometimes it helps for a soldier to take a knee.

Well, at least he doesn’t have a toy gun with him. But I’m not sure if his green coat goes with his read pants.

42. Seems like Ralphie’s been a very bad boy.

Yes, these events are known for a lot of drunk and disorderly conduct. But the Ralphie bunny suit costume is priceless.

43. These elves are ready to make their season merry and bright.

Well, they surely look ready for something like SantaCon. Then again, they just might be Santa elves on a break.

44. “Shitter’s full.”

That’s Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation. Still, this costume isn’t hard to make at all.

45. A candy cane costume like this will make you look just as sweet and minty fresh.

Well, it’s probably not realistic and it’s holiday wear you’d expect from Effie Trinket. But it’s Christmas related so it goes on this post.

46. You can expect plenty of presents under this Christmas tree.

Okay, she might be dressed as the kind of Christmas tree you put on a table. Because it doesn’t seem to cover much of her.

47. Seems like Hanukkah Harry got in a fight with a Santa Bot.

“Santabot naughty detection. Santabot destroy with coal fired laser.”

48. Cindy Lou Who always tries to look her best.

Sure it’s of a child character. But it’s an adult costume as Etsy lists.

49. So is she supposed to be queen of the sugar plum fairies or something?

This is supposed to be a Christmas costume and surely looks like it. But the leopard print trim doesn’t do it for me.

50. Even Santa has to have a day at the beach now and then.

And here he is in an old fashioned swimsuit about to go surfing. Not sure if he’ll succeed riding the waves.

51. This Santa seems to have an interesting hat.

Kind of reminds me a bit like Dr. Seuss. Then again, not sure about the candy cane hat.

52. Jovie and Buddy always know how to celebrate the season.

Yes, they the pink Jovie costume from the Elf movie, too. And yes, it does look quite cute.

53. Mistletoe Marilyn will add extra spark in your holiday season.

Well, she does look like Marilyn Monroe. But she doesn’t seem to have mistletoe on her though.

54. This Mrs. Claus dress comes with a holly apron.

Sure she’s wearing a short skirt. But I think it’s rather tasteful at the same time.

55. With Santa, it’s always hip times ahead.

Yes, this Santa has a fro. Not sure if it means he’s from the 1970s. Or that he doesn’t get a haircut at the North Pole.

56. These reindeer have what it takes to get to the skies.

Like how these guys are dressed as race car drivers. Not that I’m a fan of NASCAR (I’m not).

57. A Santa dress must be held with a black belt.

Yes, it’s another female Santa dress. And yes, I’ve put up a few of them. But this is more standard.

58. At SantaCon, being Santa’s little helper means wearing a pom pom skirt.

Whether you’re going to SantaCon or work for Santa at the mall, you might find this quite lovely. Like the striped socks.

59. A green dress can always stand out as a Christmas tree.

Helps if you add tinsel and ornaments. Yet, make sure you have star on your headband.

60. Perhaps, Mrs. Claus can use a more festive pattern.

Yes, this is Mrs. Claus as you’ve never seen her before. Also, the patterned pieces have Christmas motives.

61. Mrs. Claus stands with one of Santa’s helpers.

Mrs. Claus seems a bit young in this. Yet, the elf seems to have a rather short skirt.

62. Sometimes you might find a few elves with facial hair.

By the way, the beard’s fake. But this costume does seem to induce cheer.

63. Uh, you may not want to do that.

This woman is dressed up as Flick from A Christmas Story. You know the kid who stuck his tongue on the flag pole.

64. If you’re into Dickens, you might want to go to SantaCon as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

Since SantaCon is known for drinking and feasting, this is up his alley. I mean he’s a jolly guy who enjoys partying.

65. Speaking of the 19th century, check out these caroler costumes.

Unfortunately, ladies, 19th century fashion wasn’t known for practicality. So if you wear one of these dresses, expect to be uncomfortable.

66. If you’re Russian, you might want to go to SantaCon as Grandfather Frost or the Snow Maiden.

As if we need more Soviet Union inspired characters during the holiday season. Yet, these two are still around in Russia after the Soviet Union fell.

67. Mrs. Claus has a heart on her apron.

Well, this is kind of cute. Helps if the apron has holly around it and a bow on the belt.

68. Not much here, just a couple of joggers.

It’s the Griswold neighbors in their athletic suits from Christmas Vacation. Sure they’re stuck up but you really have to feel bad for them.

69. At SantaCon, don’t let these two in your house.

These are the two criminals on Home Alone. You know the two hapless crooks who get tortured from some budding child psychopath.

70. You never know what you can do with a lot of gift bows.

Well, a red present dress is one idea. Still, wonder if she’ll freeze in it since it doesn’t seem to accommodate cold weather.

71. A garland around yourself makes just as good a Christmas tree as anything.

You can even decorate it any way you please. But please, make sure you take your Santa hat with you.

72. This Christmas tree has a foot in each present.

Still, at least he feels secure dressed as one. Think it’s kind of funny, actually.

73. In this elf costume, you can just prance in your suspenders.

Yes, I know not many people wear suspenders these days. But this guy seems jolly.

74. I think their pajamas might need fixed.

Okay, the bare butts are in as a joke and aren’t real. Either way, you shouldn’t touch them.

75. For SantaCon, this guy came prepared.

Since he dressed up as milk and cookies. Then again, he may not have enough to go around.

76. You’ve heard about making a gingerbread house. How about dressing like one?

Yes, they may be a bit boxy at times. But you have to like how they’re decorated with candy.

77. These elves come with extra eye protection.

Guess they’re test drivers for Santa’s sleigh at the North Pole. That might explain a lot.

78. Given his workload on Christmas Eve, it’s no wonder Santa doesn’t look forward to Christmas sometimes.

This costume has “Bah! Humbug!” on the hat. As if Santa didn’t have more to worry about.

79. Now that’s a strange Christmas tree.

Because it doesn’t seem to resemble one. More like a badly decorated shrub.

80. Look who just came in from Whoville.

Yes, the Whos seem to have some interesting styles, especially on Chrsitmas. But I couldn't leave these two out.

Yes, the Whos seem to have some interesting styles, especially on Christmas. But I couldn’t leave these two out.

The Holly and Ivy World of Miniature Christmas Gardens

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 11, 2016

Though the holiday season may be upon us, tis usually not the season for gardening. At least if you live where I do when it’s more likely that your garden will usually have dead stuff that you had to clean out in the fall. I mean winter gardens are usually not much to look at unless you live in the tropics. Then it doesn’t really look right since winter is a time for snow. And snow usually happens at cold temperatures which plants don’t do well in. Anyway, since miniature gardens are usually in containers, this isn’t a problem for people who are into them. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to decorate their own mini gardens with a holiday touch or make Christmas mini gardens of their own. If you don’t believe me, you can find a lot of places selling miniature garden stuff online. And yes, many of these use fake snow for a more wintry atmosphere. So for your reading pleasure, I give you an assortment of Christmas miniature garden to bring you holiday cheer this season.

The star must always go on top of the tree.

And I see the tree here is resplendently decorated. Love the red bow. The horse wreath is nice, too.

2. A nativity scene in your miniature garden keeps the spirit of the season.

It’s even better if you have a dirt ground and a twig stable. Still, this is lovely.

3. Mini gardens with multiple layers should always look festive.

Love how this garden has angels and a richly decorated archway. Very much in the Christmas spirit of things.

4. Evergreen trees and snow always make a great Christmas landscape.

The tree on this one only has a red star. But you have to like the snowman and the sleigh full of gifts.

5. Sometimes a few holiday decorations is all you need.

This one just includes presents in an urn, a snowman, and a wreath. All in all, it’s holiday simplicity.

6. You don’t have a Christmas mini garden unless you have lights.

The tree in this garden has red lights all over it. And there’s even a tree in the house.

7. It’s always great to have stockings and presents at the tree.

This one has stockings hung at the tree as well as gifts on a sled nearby. There is even a deer in the snow.

8. Tis the season to deck the halls inside and out.

This one has lights on the house as well as candy canes and a sled on a frozen pond. Like the wreath on the table.

9. A mirror always makes a great frozen pond.

This one also includes snow covered church as well as a wreath. All in all, lovely.

10. Make sure your mini garden tree is richly decorated for the season.

Helps if the bush has red bows, too. Not to mention, the gifts near the tree bring an extra holiday touch.

11. In a miniature garden, you can still have a snowman without the snow.

But it would still resemble a lawn decoration. Still, love the wreath on the chair.

12. You can always have a birdbath near a decorated tree.

This one looks quaint. Normally, you couldn’t do this outdoors. But in mini gardens, go right ahead.

13. Sometimes all it takes are a few shiny red baubles.

Yet, in this case the baubles have to be small to be near the church. So do the snow covered evergreen trees.

14. To bring in the spirit of the season, just add a few small baubles.

Yes, a few shiny baubles are all you need. These ones have gold decoration on them, too.

15. Even Santa has to stop by to admire the gnome’s decorations.

There’s even some semblance of a gingerbread house, too. Like the lights on the trees and the tire swing though.

16. Snowmen can make any place seem like a home.

This one even includes a tree with a present. And it’s mostly covered with snow (which is fake naturally).

17. For a holiday mini garden, just add decorations.

Yes, a lot of this seems to be out of proportion. But that’s how mini gardens are sometimes. Love the wreaths.

18. Sometimes all you just have to do is decorate the tree.

Well, this one isn’t as nice as the others I’ve shown. But it’s pretty enough.

19. Outdoor decorations should always be in the spirit of the season.

This one uses a Christmas wreath and other holiday touches. So simple yet so quaint.

20. When in doubt, go with a peppermint candy trail.

Well, it gives it a sweet charm. Though the tree doesn’t look real.

21. A miniature Christmas garden should always have a fence with candy canes.

A tree decked in baubles also helps as well. So does having it covered in snow.

22. Sometimes a few decorations can make a winter wonderland.

This one just has a star on the tree and a red archway with a snowflake. So it didn’t take much.

23. To bring the Christmas spirit, sometimes you just have to deck the arch way.

Well, there’s a snow covered tree here, too. But you have to love the wreaths and the garland.

24. A tree and angel should always be at the center.

Well, the angel here has a wreath around its head. The tree is snow covered but looks fake.

25. During the Christmas season nothing beats a gingerbread house.

Also helps if it includes a peppermint candy patio. Love the tree and lights though.

26. Having green plants in the background gives an evergreen atmosphere for the holiday season.

This one uses decor that’s in a similar style. Yet, Santa seems bigger than this house.

27. Sometimes all you need are a couple of Santa hats.

And this is all what this garden has for Christmas decorations. Well, there’s still cotton snow though.

28. You can always have lights and presents on a Christmas tree.

You can even have a wreath on the tool shed. Still, it must be beautiful when it’s lit up at night.

29. Sometimes a small tree can do just as well.

But you might not use as many decorations though. Still, like the red ribbons.

30. This tree mini garden takes the blue ribbon.

This one even has stars surrounding it. All it needs is snow in my opinion.

31. Of course, some miniature Christmas gardens can go all out on a whole wagon.

This one has a whole village with a train below and lighted garland roof. Not to mention, you have to love the lighted star.

32. Sometimes gravel is all you need to create a winter wonderland.

This one has a snowman as well as a bench with gifts. all in all, it’s adorable.

33. A few red decorations can always make the season bright.

Not sure what I think about the tree. But I do think the shiny holly berries make a nice touch.

34. You can be festive for the holidays even within a small space.

This is of the tea cup garden variety which is small. Still, like the candy cane lamp post.

35. The more greenery in your miniature Christmas garden the better.

This one has a tower decorated with a wreath and garlands. Also like the tree.

36. How about a little Santa hat in the shrubs?

This one also has a pile of snowballs and red ribbons on the archway. Simple but lovely.

37. Fans of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will adore this miniature garden.

However, the Christmas special is a lot weirder than you know. It’s kind of like Lord of the Rings made for kids on acid.

38. Beads and lights really bring out the beauty in a tree.

Both tree and shrub seem to have a lot of beads on it. The lights also look pretty.

39. A holiday house should always have some seasonal trimmings.

This one doesn’t use a lot of decorations. But you have to admire the snow on the roof.

40. A lighted tree is great next to a quaint Christmas cottage.

Well, the house is certainly in the Christmas spirit. Love the lighted tree.

41. A gingerbread house should be between two lit trees.

This one has trees side by side that have lights in each of them. For all I can say, this is beautiful.

42. A gingerbread house in a miniature garden is surely sweet.

This one is surrounded by candy canes and holly berries. Like the gingerbread man.

43. It always looks a lot like Christmas when you stick a few candy canes in the ground.

Like how the house is made to resemble a fairy abode with a petal roof. Of course, it has candy cane decoration as well.

44. Seems like Santa has made a stop here.

Well, there aren’t a lot of reindeer here but that can be forgiven. Also, not a lot of snow either.

45. Of course, you can always spend Christmas at the beach.

This one has Santa’s hat and boots near a chair. It’s as if Santa has been here.

46. Sometimes a from the archway is all you need.

Well, this one uses a few non-traditional Christmas motifs like a mistletoe lantern and sled. Either way it gives a rustic impression.

47. The presents will be at the wreathed lantern.

This one includes 2 deer which I know wouldn’t be used for Santa’s sleigh. It also has a snowman.

48. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in this fairy village.

You just have to look closer just to get my drift. But it certainly resembles a fairy tale forest.

49. All this miniature garden needs is a few candy canes and lights.

The lights on this one seem to be rather small. Makes me wonder about what bulbs they get if any of them go out.

50. A well decorated Christmas tree always makes the season bright.

This one even has a wooden reindeer. Still, really love the bows and lights.

51. A richly decorated Christmas tree should always have presents below it.

Well, this is just a lonely tree near a road. Still, you can’t hate how it’s decorated or the presents.

52. In a miniature garden, a Christmas tree really has to light up.

And yes, it certainly shines bright at night as you see here. Still, got to love the decorations.

53. A bonsai can easily make a Christmas tree as any evergreen.

This bonsai tree even has a bow and beads around it. And it goes nicely with the red chair.

54. Sometimes all it takes is a Christmas tree with colorful lights.

This one has presents, a tree, Santa, and baubles on a pot. Like the white bench and table though.

55. Sometimes cotton is sufficient for a blanket of snow.

After all, it’s fluffy. Yet, in this garden, it doesn’t seem to cover everything in sight.

56. A gingerbread house must always have a Christmas tree with candy canes nearby.

And it’s an especially colorful gingerbread house, too. The candy cane bench is perfect.

57. Seems like this small garden has a few trees in order.

This one has Santa, two presents, and a candy cane chair. Doesn’t seem like much, but it’ll do.

58. A plain stone house should always have some light decorations.

This one even has a gingerbread house as well as fairies in the snow. So lovely.

59. For a Christmas mini garden you can always go with a single candy cane.

This one also has a few decorations on it as well. But the lone candy cane stands out.

60. Seems like the snow isn’t long for this garden.

Guess they didn’t have a lot of cotton. But you have to admire the snowman on this one. Like the plaid house.

61. Sometimes you can use normal baubles for a Christmas mini garden.

You can also see a Christmas tree with green beads. Love the owl which I think is a hoot.

62. Christmas decorations always look lovely on brass furniture.

The arch and bench are covered in tinsel and bows. The arch even has lights.

63. Orange and blue look good on a Christmas tree.

Yet, there seems to be presents all around as well. Seems like an idyllic scene for the holiday season.

64. For those who opt for a blue Christmas, this is the miniature garden for you.

This one also has blue star signs like the last one. But this garden includes snow and a lawn chair.

65. Looks like Santa is taking his gig outdoors this time.

Yes, this one has a girl on Santa’s lap. And she’s not wearing a coat in the snow at all.

66. A layered pot tends to have Santa on a ledge.

And Santa seems to be bigger than that house. And so does the North Pole.

67. A Christmas fairy village should always have lights.

And the lights seem to be along the fence. Yet, you can see the decorations if you look more closely.

68. A skinny light Christmas tree is always better than none.

Well, it seems to take a form of an overgrown bush. Like the bow at the top.

69. It’s always nice to relax around a peppermint patio.

There’s not much snow. But the peppermint bench, table, and stools surely bring in the holiday spirit.

70. Fairies always seem to frolic near a frozen pond.

This one uses poinsettias that make an ideal Christmas garden addition. And not just miniature ones either.

71. There’s nothing like an angel that shows peace on earth, good will toward men.

This one even has a nice little golden church on a hill. Still, it’s quite lovely with the snowflakes.

72. I call this one, “Snowmen on the Rocks.”

Because the snowmen don’t seem to be near any snow. Yet, they seem to exist.

73. A holiday miniature garden like this comes with all the trimmings.

This one seems to have a lot in it. Yet, it seems to become its own winter wonderland.

74. How about including a poinsettia to kick off the Christmas spirit?

And yes, a pointsettia is included. Whether it’s real or fake, I can’t decide.

75. Of course if a pink Christmas suits your fancy, this miniature garden is for you.

It even has a pink trail as well as purple baubles. Certainly to brighten your season with cheer.

76. Of course, you can always go with a white Christmas tree.

Yet, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of snow in this one. But it has a lot of Christmas decorations that there should be.

77. A Christmas miniature garden like this is a perfect winter wonderland.

Now this is a garden with all the Christmas trimmings. All it needs is a decorated tree and it’s all set.

78. In a winter wonderland like this, you’ll find a tree of gold somewhere.

And here it is within a tower. Bet it’s to protect it from the snowy weather. Love it.

79. You can decorate a miniature Christmas tree with whatever you have at home.

And this one seems to be decorated this way. Nice that it has Santa’s sack and presents.

80. A Christmas miniature garden like this should have a big bushy tree with all the trimmings.

Yeah, it looks similar to some of the previous ones I’ve shown in this post. Yet, it seems more like something you’d put on a Christmas card.

Marvel Comics Christmas United Guardians of the Galaxy

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 9, 2016

marvel-1983-christmas-card

And so I get to the last Merry Geekmas installment with Marvel Comics. Or as you know, it’s the franchise that brought you the Avengers, Stan Lee, Daredevil, Spider Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Dr. Strange, Deadpool, Wolverine, and Guardians of the Galaxy. I mean look at the look at the image above and see for yourself. This year was great for Marvel movies like Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, and X-Men: Apocalypse. Of course, like DC Comics, Marvel also had special Christmas issues as well. Because you can’t forget the holidays as a major comic book franchise. And let’s just say, while DC is better known for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, Marvel has much more variety in their merchandising. Their movies are also more entertaining though DC beats them in the villain department by a large margin since their best ones tend to be Loki as well as Magneto and his people. After all, Batman villains tend to be very iconic and scary. Nevertheless, for your reading pleasure, I give you an assortment of ideas and things that will inspire you to have a merry Marvel Christmas Stan Lee could be proud of.

No patriotic Christmas is complete without these Captain America ornaments.

And yes, they mostly consist of his shield. But for any patriotic tree, this is a must have.

2. Keep yourself warm over the holidays with this Avengers tossle cap.

This one has Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk. If it comes with a scarf, keep both pieces assembled.

3. This Iron Man Christmas tree always makes your season bright.

It even has the heart that gives Iron Man his power to configure the suit. Still, I’m sure this will get Tony Stark’s approval.

4. Be wary when Captain America points to what’s on your left.

Yeah, Captain America isn’t wrong with that. Still, though he may be handsome, he’s at least over 90 years old.

5. Spider Tree, Spider Tree, can be whatever a Spider be.

Still, I think this Spider Man Christmas tree is missing something. I know, cobwebs. Because he’s a web slinger.

6. Seems like Iron Man has a present.

Seems like he’s being nice this holiday season. Of course, this is only a plushie.

7. Unfortunately, the Elves on the Shelves were no match for the Avengers.

And they did it without inflicting a lot of collateral damage in the process. Still, the Elf on the Shelf thing is incredibly creepy.

8. Sorry, Twinkletums, but Spidey doesn’t care for the likes of you.

Because he just got caught in Spider Man’s web. Great work, Spidey. The Elf on the Shelf needed to go.

9. An Avengers’ Christmas tree should be properly assembled.

It should also be blue with a Captain America shield on top. Hulk hands help as well.

10. Celebrate the season with this Deadpool Christmas sweater.

You’ll see a few of these Deadpool sweaters on this post. This one is quite minimal compared to the others.

11. This Wolverine stocking will surely be well hung.

I wonder if Hugh Jackman has a stocking like this at his fireplace. I wouldn’t be surprised.

12. This Deadpool owl ornament is a genuine hoot on your tree.

You can tell since it has a Deadpool belt. Still, this is adorable.

13. Speaking of Deadpool, you can’t go without this polymer clay ornament of him.

He even has candy canes on the back instead of swords. Also like the Santa hat.

14. Make your Christmas a patriotic one with this Captain America holiday sweater.

This one is black with red, white, and blue. And it features Cap’s shield in the center.

15. Make Christmas wonderful with this Loki sweater.

So let me get this straight. Only in Marvel can a Norse god have his very own Christmas sweater. Is that right?

16. Of course, not even Loki would disapprove of this Avengers Christmas tree.

This one includes masks as well as comic books. But it still has the Captain America shield on top.

17. Nothing makes you look like a badass on Christmas like this Deadpool sweater.

This one has Deadpool’s face at the center. But it’s in black and red as he’d prefer it.

18. Spidey sits on top of a present.

For the record, they have a lot of these Spider Man Christmas inflatables. So expect more on this post.

19. Complete your patriotic Christmas tree with this Captain America tree skirt.

This one is in Captain America’s shield as always. But it fits great on the tree from the looks of it.

20. For an Avengers Christmas, an Avengers holiday sweater is the proper thing to wear.

This one includes Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man. And Thor shows his long blond hair.

21. An Avengers Christmas tree must always be topped with Loki’s helmet.

Okay, Loki is actually an adversary of the Avengers. But you have to admit, it does look great on the tree.

22. Merry Christmas from the Elf Avengers.

This one has the Avengers and Loki in elf hats. Still, you have to admit that this is cute.

23. Be sure to decorate your Groot this Christmas season.

Seems like Groot requires more lights on his cutout than the much smaller Christmas tree. Like the Rocket angel though.

24. Avenger owl ornaments assemble.

Yes, I have more owl ornaments on here. These are of Captain America, Loki, and Iron man. Still, they’re a hoot.

25. Looks like Bruce Banner really doesn’t like to play Santa.

No wonder he just destroyed his Santa suit. But he’s holding a present. Might want to stay away from this Hulk Santa.

26. Any little girl would dream of wearing this Spider Man dress this holiday season.

This one even features a Christmas tree as well as green sleeves and tights. So cute.

27. Captain America doesn’t have much tolerance for bad language.

Yeah, he tends to be quite clean cut among the rest. Yet, you should remember he grew up in the 1930s.

Yeah, he tends to be quite clean cut among the rest. Yet, you should remember he fought in WWII.

28. You can always string up this Spider Man crocheted stocking.

Even has the Spidey eyes and blue at the foot. Still, this is great.

29. Iron Man always shines bright on top of the Christmas tree.

That’s because part of Iron Man’s suit glows. And that Tony Stark is a self-absorbed billionaire with major issues.

30. Make your Christmas green this year with this Incredible Hulk tree.

Even has green and purple ornaments to show for it. Yet, please hope you’re not living with a Hulk when you do this. Because that would be bad.

31. Feel free to assemble your Christmas tree with these Avengers baubles.

Each one has a logo of each Avenger. Of course, the pool has expanded since these were made.

32. Rock out this Christmas with this Guardians of the Galaxy holiday sweater.

This is well mixed with Christmas motifs as well as Guardians of the Galaxy stuff. Hope you can dance to the soundtrack.

33. At least a few of the Avengers get together to celebrate the season.

This inflatable has Captain America, the Hulk, And Iron Man. And they surround a large present. Guess they all pitched in to get something for Black Widow.

34. A Spider Man Christmas tree always has to contain some degree of well, web.

Now that’s more like it. Helps that the tree is blue, too.

35. Hope you delight in this Squirrel Girl Santa.

Squirrel Girl is a Marvel superheroine who originally appeared in the 1990s. She tends to be quite popular with her power being the ability to talk to squirrels. Yes, you read that right.

36. You might not want to snoop around Wolverine’s Christmas tree this season.

Because he doesn’t like when you mess with it. Still, wonder how he decorates his tree when he has his claws out. Besides pruning it.

37. This year, any bad guys have to watch out for Spidey Claus.

Now that’s clever. Yeah, Spidey Claus isn’t the kind of Santa you should mess with. If you don’t want to be in a sticky bind afterwards.

38. Also, may your Christmas be webby and bright with this Spider Man holiday sweater.

Nevertheless, I have to wonder if Spider Man has his own Christmas sweater. And if he does, did he make it himself?

39. This baby Groot tree ornament is hard to resist.

Just love how he’s in the Santa hat and holds the lights. This is so cute.

40. You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout, I’m telling you why. Santa America is coming to town.

This is Captain America as Santa Claus. Notice how he has great abs and a red suit.

41. A Captain America Christmas tree should always have red ribbons around it.

Don’t forget to put the shield on top, too. Also, include blue ornaments for a more patriotic flair.

42. Spider Man climbs up on the house top to drop a few presents.

Another Spidey inflatable. Guess he’s helping Santa delivering the gifts at homes he missed.

43. You can always go with an Avengers tree of crafted ornaments.

This one even has a DIY shield on top. Yet, you can also include masks, too.

44. Join in the festive holiday spirit with this Captain America Christmas sweater.

This one is light blue with patriotic designs. Just as Captain America intended.

45. Hope you enjoy this Avengers assembled Christmas tree.

Well, this one has the Avengers assembled into one tree. And it’s in the back of a jacket.

46. Celebrate the season with your very own Christmas Hulk.

For nothing says Christmas like a giant angry green monster that causes destruction wherever he goes. I think you might want to reconsider.

47. Nothing says a Merry Christmas like this Iron Man holiday sweater.

Has the heart of Iron Man’s suit in the center. I’m sure Tony Stark would make these if he wanted to.

48. I’m sure you can show your patriotism to Santa with this Captain America stocking.

This one has a star and stripes like Captain America’s shield. Still, if there’s anyone in the Avengers who should get something for Christmas, it’s Cap.

49. This Captain America shield tree topper will make your season bright.

It even lights up. I’m sure any Cap fan would treasure it on their tree.

50. An X-Men Christmas tree should always be topped with Phoenix Jean Grey.

This one also lights up a well. And it has Jean Grey in front of the phoenix to demonstrate her power.

51. How about a Deadpool stocking at your fireplace?

This one has Deadpool’s face with black trim. I’m sure Deadpool would want this for his own fireplace this Christmas.

52. Deadpool would like to wish you a Merry, Chri-oh, whatever.

Guess Deadpool would like to celebrate the season his own way. Still, this is quite clever.

53. Deadpool has just released his Christmas letter for 2015.

This is quite funny. In it, the talks about his Christmas and his sister getting married. He doesn’t have high hopes for that relationship.

54. Any Avenger at Christmas would ogle at these stockings.

Includes Spider Man, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. And each of them come with a plush figure.

55. An Avengers Christmas tree always has to come with all the trimmings.

This one has a lot of Avenger action figures and masks. Also, has a lot of other colors to make Christmas a festive occasion.

56. I’m confident these Avengers ornaments will add a spark to your holiday season.

Each Avenger silhouette is in a respective color. And one includes the Avengers logo.

57. Spider Man does web design for a living.

But not in a way that other people do it. His web design has more with doing catching bad guys in webs variety.

58. Enjoy a webbed Christmas with these Spider Man baubles.

They’re red with spiders on them. Surely fitting for any Spider Man tree.

59. Groot always knows how to deck the halls.

However, this Groot seems scarier than he does in Guardians of the Galaxy. But at least he’s helping with Christmas lights.

60. At one angle, you’d think this gingerbread Stark Tower was in a winter wonderland.

This is Stark’s main headquarters. Like how it’s a brilliant blue. The windows aren’t too bad either.

61. Deadpool always wants to be on top of the tree.

Like how he has a Santa hat and 2 candy canes crossed with his arms. Classy.

62. Top your tree with Groot and Rocket.

Doesn't hurt if the tree lights either. Love this.

Doesn’t hurt if the tree lights either. This is great.

63. O Christmas Groot, O Christmas Groot….

Like how he’s decorated with garlands and lights. Also has a star on top.

64. Groot and Rocket just came in with a tree.

This one has Rocket in a Santa suit and Groot wearing a scarf. Love this.

65. Groot always dresses for the season.

I know this doesn’t look anywhere near Groot from the movie. But you have to like how he’s in Santa suit and wears ornaments.

66. Your Christmas tree isn’t fully assembled without these Avengers clay gingerbread ornaments.

Sure they’re not made out of gingerbread. Not that it matters to me because these are adorable.

67. Hulk always smashes anyone who gets in his way.

Well, Loki’s a puny god as far as Hulk is concerned. Yet, he always has his green fists up in his symbol.

68. Instead of a stocking, how about a boot of your favorite superhero?

This features stocking boots of Captain America and Spider Man. Since they’re 2 of the most popular Marvel superheroes around.

69. Thor always speaks quite eloquently.

Yes, he does tend to speak like someone from Shakespeare. But what’s not to love?

70. This Christmas, don’t get caught on Deadpool’s naughty list.

Deadpool even has a Santa beard on for good measure. Still, please don’t do anything to piss him off.

71. Seems like Deadpool has his own way of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Because nothing brings the spirit of peace on earth than standing between 2 machine guns. Nice Deadpool.

72. Deadpool would like to wish everyone happy holidays and that he didn’t steal the presents.

I think he did steal the presents and he’s blaming Wolverine for it. Because that’s Deadpool.

73. Don’t worry, Spider Man will deck the halls.

Of course, his way of decorating is more suited for Halloween. Still, this ugly sweater is very creative.

74. The Avengers would like to wish you a marvelous Christmas.

Because they’re from Marvel Comics. Not sure if you’d want to put Christmas lights on the Hulk.

75. Now you can hang a piece of Groot on your Christmas tree.

Not sure what to think about that. I mean Groot is a walking, talking tree in some respect.

76. Deadpool would like to say a few words as he decks the halls.

Funny he wears his outfit as he puts up the lights. Oh, wait he’s kind of self-conscious.

77. An Iron Man tree topper always glows, especially in a tree of metal.

Come to think of it, a metal tree is quite appropriate for Iron Man. Like the lights and tinsel.

78. Avenger fans will adore this red, white, and blue Christmas sweater.

Great to wear if you want to watch Captain America: Civil War this holiday season. Though Thor and the Hulk aren’t in it.

79. Hulk is checking his own Christmas list.

I suppose it’s a long one since he tends to break a lot of stuff every time he blows his top. So it’s not without cause.

80. Loki doesn’t like wishing Thor a Merry Christmas.

Well, Loki doesn’t really take well to Thor anyway. After all, they’re brothers on Asgard. What do you expect?

81. This Marvel Christmas sweater has Avengers assembled.

This one has Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, and Spider Man. Or Marvel’s biggest named superheroes sans Wolverine.

82. Seems like the Marvel superheroes always like to have a good time during the holidays.

This card is a take off from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Still, imagine all the damage these people can do in one room.

83. I’m sure these Marvel nutcrackers could crack a few.

Consists of Hulk, Spider Man, and Iron Man. Still, they all may be a bit nuts.

84. A Christmas tree like this sure brings the Marvel spirit.

And yes, it’s all Marveled out. Like how they used Wolverine’s claws as a tree topper.

85. Christmas Groot always has lovely branches.

He has garlands and ornaments on his arms as well as red bow. Like Rocket dressed as Santa.

86. A Spider Man nutcracker can always break a few tough ones.

Yes, this is another Spider Man nutcracker. But this one looks different than the other one I showed.

87. Wolverine doesn’t have any problem helping Santa carry his sack.

However, displaying holiday cheer is another matter. Being jolly isn’t his strong suit.

88. Spider Man always has a special place for DBC.

Since that’s where he works as a photographer. Too bad Jameson has no idea how he’s able to cover Spider Man.

89. Tis the season for a Wolverine Christmas sweater.

For some reason, despite his popularity, Wolverine doesn’t have a Christmas sweater like other Marvel superheroes do. Still, like the blue lights.

90. Tis the season to be jolly with this Spider Man Santa hat.

Well, it’s a Santa hat that’s red and has Spider Man eyes. Hope it goes with the webbed Santa suit.

91. Spider Man has something special for Dr. Octopus.

Sure they may be better enemies. But they set it aside during the holidays because why retain bitterness?

92. Here we have Spider Man up on the house top.

Well, he’s on top of a chimney. And yes, he can go down it without much trouble.

93. Of course, you can’t spend a Spider Man Christmas without a sweater like this.

There seems to be quite a few Spider Man Christmas sweaters for some reason. Oh, right, he’s very popular at Marvel.

94. Spider Man would like to deliver a present.

And he’s giving it upside down. Funny how he wears a scarf and nothing else.

95. Thor is always ready to celebrate Christmas.

Sure Christmas may not be a holiday on Asgard since Thor’s the Norse god of thunder. But you have to like how he’s covered in lights.

96. Spider Man seems to have a webbed sack to go with his outfit.

This holiday plush also seems to depict him with a big head. Still, like the Santa hat.

97. This Christmas Groot only has a star to top him.

By the way, this is a cake. Nevertheless, he’s so cute you’d want to eat him up.

98. Merry Christmas courtesy of Wolverine.

Yes, this is photoshopped from a movie scene. But I like how he has candy canes instead of claws.

99. This nativity scene has brought X-Men from far and wide.

I don’t seem to have a lot of X-Men Christmas stuff for some reason. I’m not sure why.

100. Captain America would like to bestow a gift to you.

And here he is holding a present with 2 hands. He’s carrying his shield behind him by the way.

DC Comics Presents Christmas: Dawn of Justice

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 8, 2016

2004-dc-holiday-card-alucardbarnivous

Of course, I couldn’t do themed Merry Geekmas posts without including the comic book superhero franchises of DC and Marvel. After all, comic superheroes make crucial part of the nerd landscape since they’re beloved by generations as well as lead casts of major blockbuster movies. Not to mention, so many people dress as them for Comic Con. This year for the DC Comics we has Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Both were major blockbuster hits. Nevertheless, like other franchises, comic book superheroes also have their own branding for the holidays. For instance, many of them have their own holiday special issue. And this has gone on for decades even before they started making movies featuring superheroes. With DC Comics, you’ll probably had Batman or Superman saving Santa or something like that. Anyway, Christmas is a big time of year for the comic books for obvious reasons. So it should surprise that many fans make a themed Christmas with their favorite superheroes. So for your reading pleasure, I give you an assortment of things related to a DC Comics Christmas.

Have a Gotham Christmas with these Batman baubles.

Consists of ornaments pertaining to Batman, the Joker, and Harley Quinn. So fans would enjoy them.

2. There’s nothing more unique on Christmas than a Batman snowflake.

It’s a paper snowflake with the Batman sign. And it’s in 2 variations.

3. Harley Quinn is quite the naughty elf this year.

Actually, “naughty” puts it mildly. More like straight up criminally insane. Yet, she carries the bat suit behind her.

4. This Christmas say hello to Batman Claus.

As you know, Batman Claus gives presents to all the girls and boys. And he beats the shit out of those who are very bad like the Joker.

5. Celebrate Christmas by commemorating The Dark Knight Rises with this Bane ornament from Hallmark.

Because nothing says Christmas like a supervillain who beats the living shit out of Gotham’s superhero, puts him in a hole out in some far of prison, and takes over his town. Oh, and that Talia woman Bruce Wayne slept with. Well, she’s with him. Still, Bane does have a nice side. But don’t count on it.

6. There’s nothing to a Gotham Christmas like a Batman tree.

This one has the bat symbol all over it. I’m sure someone would want to do this for the holidays.

7. How about a Harley Quinn stocking for the fireplace?

Not sure if it would help your case with Santa. After all, Harley Quinn is a very bad girl in Gotham.

8. No Christmas tree of justice can be complete without a tree skirt like this.

This one has Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Or as I call them, the Golden Trio of DC Comics.

9. May your Christmas be a beacon of hope with this Wonder Woman wreath.

This one has fancy wreath decorations along with Wondy’s boots and her lasso. A great wreath for the feminist girl at heart.

10. Decorate your super Christmas tree this year with these super Justice League ornaments.

These include Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern. And they’re all made from a glassy metal.

11. An aluminum Christmas tree is perfect for the Dark Knight.

This one has the Batman cowl on it with other decorations. All in all, it’s an intimidating tree.

12. Make your super Christmas super bright with these Superman lights.

These lights all have the Superman symbol on them. And they'll make your tree super bright.

These lights all have the Superman symbol on them. And they’ll make your tree and season bright unless you put them with Kryptonite.

13. Wonder Woman wishes you a wonderful Christmas.

However, though I can believe Wondy can carry a large sack of toys on her back. I’m not sure about her being able to brave rough weather in her skimpy outfit. Maybe she has super heat insulating fat under her skin.

14. Make your Christmas a superheroic one with a Superman Christmas tree.

Sure it shines bright like a beacon at Metropolis. Though after watching Man of Steel, I’m not sure if it’s one of hope.

15. These Justice League ornaments are exactly what one needs on their superhero Christmas tree.

I don’t really know the one on the bottom right. Yet, the Aquaman one looks quite different from his movie counterpart.

16. He’s making a list and checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.

And you thought I was talking about Santa. Well, Batman has his own naughty list.

17. Batman has his own Christmas greeting at the door.

This is a door decoration for a school. Kids write on the bats. Not sure about Batman in a Santa hat.

18. Choose your Justice League lights for a bright holiday season.

Each one is in a different color. Superman’s is red. The Green Lantern’s is green. And Batman’s is blue.

19. Greet your guests this Christmas with a Batman wreath on your door.

As you can see, this is a DIY project. Yet, it’s made more Christmasy with the red ribbon on the bottom.

20. Your gifts will be safe in these Batman and Robin stockings.

Seems like these are DIY. Like how the Robin one’s decorated.

21. It always takes a Dark Knight tree to make the season bright.

This one even has a star on top along with a Batman without the mask. Love the blue trimmings.

22. Apparently, the Joker decided to go with a Charlie Brown tree.

Or is that just a dead tree that seems like it caught fire? Either way, it’s quite fitting for the most notorious Batman villain.

23. Gotham City wishes Seasons Greetings to Batman.

This is a card from 1989. Nice that Gotham used a Christmas tree for the bat signal. Because you know what the latter means.

24. The Dark Knight of Gotham always has to have a resplendent Christmas tree.

This one has a topper of Batman silhouetted among the moon or a spotlight. Has comic sound effects on the branches.

25. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Super Santa.

Because why does Santa need a sleigh with reindeer if he can fly unassisted in mid air? I mean he must be from planet Krypton.

26. For a super holiday season, this Superman tree is for you.

It even has the word “Superman” around it as well as yellow, red, and blue ribbons. And the Man of Steel is on top.

27. Catwoman tells everyone to be fierce this holiday season.

Another door decoration for a school. Here Catwoman has holly on her shoulder.

28. These Justice League baubles will make quite an impression on your Christmas tree.

Includes the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Superman, and Batman. So why no Wonder Woman?

29. Wonder Woman is all decked in her gay apparel.

Because like any skimpy clad superheroine, Wondy has to have her own Santa skirt. Also, her Lasso of Truth is gold tinsel.

30. Wish happy holidays to your enemies with this Joker Christmas sweater.

Apparently, having the Joker as the most iconic Batman villain explains why so many people are afraid of clowns. And while he may be funny, he’s no laughing matter.

31. This Superman Christmas sweater will make your holidays super special.

Yes, those are all Superman logos on a Christmas tree. It’s a Krypton thing as far as I know.

32. Of course, anyone could be the Batsanta.

Funny how they have Santa on his sleigh with the bat signal. Batman is even driving the sleigh.

33. This Wonder Woman stocking has her face all over it.

After all, she is supposed to be an Amazon princess. Yet, instead of waiting for a prince to save her, she kicks ass.

34. All your Batman stocking needs is its own cape.

Because it just wouldn’t be a Batman stocking without it. Same goes for the gold fuzzy top.

35. For an alternative Batman villain idea, how about a tree with Catwoman and the Penguin?

Catwoman is so great that even Batman takes to her. Meanwhile, the Penguin really knows how to dress.

36. Clark Kent always relies on phone booths to get changed into Superman.

Nowadays, he’s most likely to have trouble finding one. Because most people use cell phones in Metropolis.

37. Yellow bat garlands always make a Batman tree right.

This one uses blue lights as well as has a Batman cowl and cape. I’m sure someone had too much time on their hands.

38. The Joker says, don’t joke with your future this holiday season.

And it’s the Heath Ledger Joker with a Santa hat. Not sure what to think about that.

39. A Batman tree must glimmer under its cape.

Well, if it wasn’t for the Batman motifs, this would be normal tree. But with the Batman head and cape, many would find it awesome.

40. Nothing says Merry Christmas like donning on this special iconic Batman Christmas sweater.

It’s black and gold with bats all over. Probably what you’d see in the Batcave around the holidays.

41. For a Batman vs. Superman Christmas, this tree has got you covered.

Also works if you can’t decide between a Batman and Superman Christmas tree. Still, it fits in with the movie.

42. Bring in the spirit of the holiday season to Gotham City with this Batman Santa mask hat.

Of course, I have doubts on whether Batman embodies the Christmas spirit since he’s not a guy filled with good cheer. Yet, if you want to wear it at a Christmas party, by all means.

43. Batman always seeks out trouble when he sees the Bat Signal.

When you see the Bat Signal, some crazy supervillain is about to get their ass kicked in Gotham. Watch out, Joker.

44. For a real Batman vs. Superman holiday party, you might want to go with these Christmas sweaters.

One has a bat signal and the Gotham skyline. The other has a symbol of Krypton and the city of Metropolis he nearly destroyed in Man of Steel.

45. Or if you want them together, this holiday sweater will do.

Because why choose when you can have both? And in an ugly sweater style?

46. Don’t like ugly Batman holiday sweaters? Try these Christmas boxers.

Yes, these exist. I know they’re ridiculous. But there must be a demand for them somewhere.

47. Fans of Batman vs. Superman might enjoy these ornaments on their tree.

I admit, the movie wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Yet, I can’t see Ben Affleck as Batman though.

48. Batsanta wishes you a Merry Christmas.

Here we have him in a muscular red suit with fur trim. Yes, Batsanta knows how to make an entrance.

49. Wonder Woman always knows how to deck the halls.

Here she is in her red and green attire holding a string of lights. Wonder if she’ll use them to decorate her invisible plane.

50. This Superman stocking can keep your stocking stuffers secure.

This one is fuzzy blue with a red trim for the cape. Let’s hope it doesn’t cause collateral damage, shall we?

51. A Superman Christmas tree must always be blue.

Since most of Superman’s outfit is. Also helps if you use red in the decorations, too.

52. Celebrate a Justice League Christmas with these ugly holiday sweaters.

Includes Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman. And each is a different color.

53. It takes a super nutcracker in order to crack a nut.

Though you can say most of these nutcrackers are genuine nuts. Yet, Superman has his moments.

54. On Christmas Wonder Woman kisses Superman under the mistletoe.

However, we should understand that Superman’s love interest is Lois Lane. Then again, Wondy might be better conditioned to handle a Kryptonian baby.

55. Rock around the Christmas tree this year with these Justice League sweaters.

Consists of Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. Each of these has its own unique design.

56. Fans of the Dark Knight Trilogy may love to have these Batman and Robin ornaments on their Christmas tree.

Well, at least they have the Batman in his black batsuit. The Robin one doesn’t look bad either. Brought to you from Hallmark.

57. This Wonder Woman doll is decked in her lovely holiday fashion.

Well, at least she’s wearing pants. Yet, her outfit is trimmed with fur to PETA’s dismay.

58. A Superman stocking always has to have a cape.

Not to mention, it also has to have the kind of underwear that goes over his pants. But that’s part of his trademark.

59. Celebrate DC’s best known superheroine with this Wonder Woman Christmas tree.

Yes, a tree that celebrates a scantily clad feminist icon who’s comic storyline wasn’t among its strong suits. Yeah, Wondy hasn’t fared well with the writing during her run.

60. The Green Lantern is said to be the brightest light.

Again, I know nothing about the Green Lantern except that it was based on Aladdin. But I hope I can satisfy any fans who come to this site with this ornament pillow.

61. The Joker never tries to take things so seriously.

For nothing says Christmas like a homicidal madman who causes a menace in Gotham city through a 3-hour movie. Still, Heath Ledger will be missed.

62. This holiday season, tell your parents you love them because Batman can’t tell his.

Because we all know that his parents were killed in front him when he was a kid. It’s not surprising that this billionaire was so messed up from it.

63. As a resident of Metropolis, Superman always supports the Daily Planet.

Because that’s where he receives his paycheck as a reporter. I mean everyone needs a day job. Guess why it survived Man of Steel.

64. Harley Quinn always has to celebrate Christmas with her holiday hammer.

She even has a red and green holiday outfit to match. Though chances are she’s most likely getting nothing from Santa.

65. Move over Grinch, Superman won’t let you steal Christmas.

Okay, this card really ruins the story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Because Superman isn’t supposed to be there.

66. They know when you’ve been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake.

Or else if you’ve really been bad, Batman might beat the living crap out of you. Just ask the Joker.

67. Don’t like Christmas stockings? How about Christmas boots?

These are of Batman and Superman. Because after all, they’re probably in the biggest demand.

68. It’s not easy being Superman.

Yes, I understand collateral damage control is hard if you have superhuman powers. But it’s absolutely necessary as seen in Man of Steel.

69. Nothing makes your Justice League Christmas tree like these engraved ornaments.

Consists of Wonder Woman, the Flash, Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman. And each has a different colored ribbon to hang from.

70. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn don’t always agree on Christmas decorations.

Well, Poison Ivy tends to be an extreme environmentalist. But yes, I see her point.

71. Joker doesn’t want anyone to be so serious around Christmas.

Unfortunately, he’s a walking security hazard. I mean the guy blows up buildings for God’s sake.

72. This Wonder Woman boot is a perfect superheroine stocking.

Because this is a perfect stocking for the Wonder Woman fan. Make sure candy doesn’t get stuck in her heel though.

73. Kids will have lots of fun with this Joker stocking.

Okay, it might make people think your child is a bit strange. Maybe even a little homicidal.

74. Santa always knows when it’s Christmas in Gotham.

So that’s who the Christmas tree signal is for. Looks like it’s Santa to the rescue.

75. Batman and Robin are always eager to help Santa.

Here are Batman and Robin helping Santa with his sack. As if Santa doesn’t have back problems already.

76. Suppose this Harley Quinn holiday sweater will suit your fancy.

After all, she’s the most popular female Batman villain. Yet, she’s not a great judge of men if her relationship with the Joker is anything to go by.

77. Apparently, around the holidays, the skunk ruined everything.

Now that Batman smells, the Batmobile lost a wheel, and Robin ran away, the Joker is free to escape. Kind of lame if you think about it.

Now that Batman smells, the Batmobile lost a wheel, and Robin laid an egg, the Joker is free to escape. Kind of lame if you think about it.

78. There’s nothing serious about this Joker Christmas sweater.

He sure looks menacing here. Before wearing it to a holiday party, make sure the attendees aren’t afraid of clowns first.

79. According to the Joker, tis the season to be jolly.

However, since he’s the Joker, he gets his psychotic jollies by destroying things in Gotham and killing people. Yes, he’s that’s crazy and dangerous.

80. Guess Batman isn’t too fond of Christmas carols.

Then again, they are making fun of him with the “Jingle Bells” song. But when did Batman display any sense of humor?

81. Now this is the ultimate Justice League holiday sweater.

There’s a different Justice League symbol for each row. Yet, it’s in a nice red backdrop.

82. When decorating your tree, you can always use Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn to top it.

And they’re both in scantily clad outfits. But they’re definitely dressed for the holiday season.

83. During Christmas, Harley likes to don her holiday duds.

She just has her pied outfit trimmed with fur. She even carries some candy canes and a lollipop.

84. Sorry, Gotham, but I don’t think Bruce Wayne will make it to the Christmas Children’s benefit this year.

Because Batman is held hostage. to add insult to injury, Joker and Harley even put him on their Christmas card.

85. Batman should know better than to fall for Catwoman’s mistletoe trick.

Because it may not end well. Neither is Catwoman entrusting Batman to help with the Christmas lights as you see here.

86. All Superman wishes this year for Christmas is peace on earth.

And he’ll strive for it at all costs. Even if it means reducing Metropolis to a pile of rubble.

87. Your stocking will be safe with this Superman stocking holder.

Well, as long as your stocking doesn’t have Kryptonite in it. Otherwise, this is stronger than steel.

88. Be like the Man of Steel this winter with this Superman Christmas sweater.

If Superman attended an ugly sweater Justice League party, he could probably wear this. Then again, maybe not.

89. Merry Christmas from Harley Quinn and the Joker.

Of course, they’re probably not sincere about it considering how they wreak havoc in Gotham City. But you have to love their holiday gay apparel.

90. Never underestimate the strength of the Man of Steel.

Because he could definitely break steel apart with his bare hands. I mean look at him.

91. As well all know, Batman is no fan of “Jingle Bells.”

But such version of him smelling makes a great ugly Christmas sweater. See it for yourself.

92. This comic is only available on a Batman ugly sweater.

Yeah, it’s the same variation of “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells” in pictures. And it has Batman in garbage.

93. Stand in true sisterhood this Christmas with this Wonder Woman eagle sweater.

The eagle is on top of the tiara by the way. Also, the sleeves are blue with stars.

94. May Batman be at the top of your Christmas tree this season.

And this one is jammed pack full of Batman stuff for your desire. Will sure make the Caped Crusader proud.

95. These Batman and Robin owl ornaments are a real hoot.

Sure a bat and a robin would’ve been more appropriate. But even I have to concede that these are adorable.

96. This ugly Wonder Woman Christmas sweater has a face of a national icon.

Well, this one sure has Wonder Woman’s face on it. But she has no eyes and blue hair.

97. Seems like Poison Ivy gets the same thing every Christmas.

Sure she may be a Batman villain. But you can’t blame her for being disappointed in getting a sexy negligee every year. That gets old.

98. Batman can always stand by the Bat Signal.

I mean it’s his symbol and it’s always his calling card. Still, you won’t see him on top of it.

99. Wonder Woman and the Gotham Rogues Gallery wish you a merry Christmas.

Then again, it’s possible that Joker, Harley, and Poison Ivy have taken Wondy hostage. Still, she could handle it.

100. Wonder Woman wishes you Season’s Greetings.

Here she’s carrying Santa’s sack of toys. Like she’s taking over for him for Christmas.

For the Lovers, Dreamers, and Me and a Very Merry Muppet Christmas to You

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 7, 2016

movie-mcc-promo-scrooge-and-company

Like Disney, the Muppets have always been in the business of Christmas since they became popular. In fact, they’ve had Christmas specials and movies like the famous Muppet Christmas Carol from the 1990s. And I have it to open this post since it’s considered one of the best Muppet Christmas films. Of course, I have to give Sir Michael Caine’s performance as Ebenezer Scrooge credit, too. I mean the guy is a gifted actor and it takes a lot of effort to be mean to these loveable Hensonian creations. Oh, and Sesame Street had a good Christmas special that was based on the story Christmas Every Day and why such a concept is a very bad idea. Nevertheless, this year the Muppets opened the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while Sesame Street performed as always. Still, over the years, there’s a lot of Muppet Christmas stuff and that’s where I come in. So for your reading pleasure, I present to you a very Muppet Christmas part of this Merry Geekmas scheme. Believe me, there are huge Muppet fans out there and many of them aren’t children. And there are a lot of Sesame Street fans who aren’t young children. Of course, both the Muppets and Sesame Street tend to parody a lot of adult stuff which explains why they’re so popular.

There’s nothing that says Merry Christmas like this Sesame Street tree.

This is a cute Christmas tree. Love how they used letters and numbers. Love it.

2. This Jingle Bell Elmo will melt your heart.

Elmo sing you “Jingle Bells” to spread Christmas cheer. Children love Elmo because he’s fuzzy and cute. Though Elmo is super annoying.

3. For Christmas, it’s always apparent that Rizzo the Rat is only here for the food.

Of course, he’s a rat what do you expect. Also, he’ll probably bring his rat family along with him.

4. Rowlf the dog wishes you Christmas joy.

This is a card made by the late Jim Henson. And yes, I think it’s quite a work of art.

5. Celebrate this Christmas by hanging this Kermit the Frog stocking near your fireplace.

As we know, this red stocking doesn’t need much green if it has Kermit. Since he already takes care of that.

6. Of course, your Christmas can be a bit grouchy with this Oscar lawn decoration.

Well, Oscar is a perpetual grouch 24/7 let alone on Christmas. Then again, considering the trash output during the holidays, you might think he’d revel during this time of year.

7. Have a perfect Muppet Christmas with this tree.

I especially like how they have Gonzo tangled in lights and garland. That’s pretty clever.

8. Make your Christmas brighter with this string of Elmo lights.

Just what we all need. So they have to have a string of lights of a cute little red muppet who can be annoying to parents.

9. As we all know from Beaker, meepers gonna meep.

Because “meep” is the only thing he usually says. Still, you admire him for his loyalty to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew for all its implications.

10. Fans of Muppet Babies will absolutely love this Christmas sweater.

This one features Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear. So adorable. Love it.

11. You better watch out for Elmo Claus

This is Elmo dressed in a Santa outfit with a present. I know kids will love it and sure it’s adorable.

12. I’m sure Santa would love to stuff this Elmo stocking.

Well, this is just a stocking that has Elmo’s face on it. Seems easy to make.

13. Nothing says a Muppet Christmas like gracing this Kermit and Piggy wreath on your door.

This one has Kermit dressed as Santa and Piggy in a green dress and fur coat. Hope Piggy doesn’t have PETA get on her case.

14. These Sesame Street ornaments will make adorable additions on your tree.

This one includes Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Elmo. I think Cookie made the gingerbread train for himself.

15. Aw, Elmo has a present for Cookie Monster.

Hope Elmo gave him an assortment of Christmas cookies. Because we all know what Cookie Monster appreciates.

16. Oscar isn’t known for his Christmas spirit.

Well, at least this ornament sums up Oscar’s wonderful personality. Yes, it’s probably better to scram.

17. Hey, it’s the ghosts of Jacob and Robert Marley with the Ghost of Christmas Present.

These are from A Muppet Christmas Carol. As you know, the chained ghosts are Statler and Waldorf.

18. Celebrate the season with an ornament everyone’s favorite grumpy old men.

I don’t know about you. But I think Statler and Waldorf get a kick heckling the other Muppets from their box. I mean they always laugh at their own burns.

19. Merry Christmas from the Muppets Express.

This Muppet Christmas train makes some degree of sense. I think it’s quite fitting.

20. Cookie Monster would like to wish everyone happy holidays.

Why does this Cookie Monster inflatable have a candy cane? He should more likely have a gingerbread man cookie in his hand. That would’ve been more appropriate.

21. Celebrate this holiday season with this spectacular Sesame Street tree.

The ornaments on this tree seem fuzzy. It also has quite colorful decorations. Love it.

22. You can’t go wrong this holiday season with a Christmas wreath of Kermit and his friends.

This one has Kermit with Fozzie and Gonzo. Also includes Christmas lights and baubles.

23. Cookie Monster and Elmo always enjoy the occasional sleigh ride.

Though it’s hard to go on a sleigh ride when there’s no snow outside. But this is adorable.

24. Rizzo the Rat always makes a holiday impression.

Even funnier is how he’s in Mickey Mouse attire. Though he’s wearing longer pants.

25. Seasons Greetings from your favorite Sesame Street characters.

These lawn decorations consist of Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Big Bird. Still, Big Bird is taller while Cookie shouldn’t hold a candy cane.

26. This Sesame Street Christmas gingerbread scene will melt your heart.

Guess they get a lot of snow there as you see from the roof. Still, this is adorable.

27. There’s nothing more cuddlier on Christmas than these Sesame Streets holiday plushies.

Includes Cookie Monster, Elmo, Big Bird, and Grover. At least Cookie has a chocolate candy cane in this one.

28. Of course, you can’t resist this Cookie Monster Christmas tree.

Well, this seems like a rather simple way to decorate Christmas tree. Just eyes, mouth, lights, and Santa hat on an artificial blue Christmas tree and you’re good to go.

29. This Big Bird nutcracker makes a great addition on your Christmas mantle.

Doesn’t exactly look like Big Bird. But I like his little toy soldier outfit.

30. Any little girl would absolutely delight in this Abby Cadabby tree.

Well, I’m not familiar with Abby Cadabby. But I think this tree is adorable.

31. This Muppet Christmas wreath has all your puppet favorites.

This one even includes Sesame Street characters like Big Bird and Elmo. Of course, Kermit is Santa in the center.

32. This Muppet Christmas Carol cake is a delectable treat.

Well, this is an appropriate treat. Love how it features the characters. Looks tasty.

33. This Cookie Monster nutcracker is more accustomed to the chocolate chip variety.

He even has sack of cookies next to him. Love the smile on his face.

34. Wish your dad a merry Christmas with this card featuring Statler and Waldorf.

After all, Statler and Waldorf are the original grumpy old men. Can’t get enough of these guys.

35. Merry Christmas from the Muppets and the Jim Henson Company.

This one has Sesame Street, the Muppets, and the Fraggles. Not very familiar with the Fraggles.

36. Looks like Big Bird didn’t have a great Christmas.

Okay, this is a very sick Christmas card that’s not related to Jim Henson but I had to show it. There’s a Thanksgiving one, too by the way.

37. Nothing delights children like this book about Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.

Looking at the cover on this book, it doesn’t seem that Christmas on Sesame Street is a cheery occasion. Also, Big Bird seems quite depressed.

38. These Sesame Street ornaments will surely bring holiday cheer.

Cookie Monster holds a bunch of happy gingerbread men. From how I’d see it, the cookies are more likely to see him as their Godzilla.

39. Finally, a Christmas tree that Cookie Monster could be proud of.

This one is blue with cookies, spoons, baubles, and letters. Hope the cookies aren’t real or you know what Cookie will do to them.

40. This Muppet gingerbread house will bring anyone Christmas joy.

Well, it surely seems like a rather old building. It’s probably their theater. Love it.

41. This Sesame Street Christmas tree will help kids learn their ABCs.

This one has plush ornaments on it. Still, I have to like this one so I include it.

42. This Kermit nutcracker comes with a sled.

He has a scarf, Santa hat, and mittens. Still, he doesn’t seem to wear much despite that frogs are cold-blooded amphibians. I don’t mean in a moral sense.

43. A Sesame Street Christmas tree must go with its own tree skirt.

This features Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, and Elmo. And it has a red and green pattern.

44. This Muppet Christmas sweater will surely create an impression.

Like how this one has Miss Piggy in her own stocking which is larger than Fozzie and Kermit’s. Then again, it’s understandable.

45. Any child would delight in these Elmo Christmas plush decorations.

They consist of Elmo with candy canes, garlands, and a sack of presents. So cute.

46. Celebrate the season with this Elmo Saves Christmas album.

A great way for young children to annoy their parents during the holidays. Still, if you kiddies really want to freak them out, perhaps a CD of One Direction would be better.

47. This Ernie nutcracker can always cheer anyone during the holidays.

He even has a rubber duckie staff. Still, this is quite creative and adorable.

48. This Elmo drummer boy doesn’t skip a beat.

He even has presents below him. Hope he doesn’t open his mouth when he plays.

49. Make this year a green Christmas with Kermit.

Of course, Kermit knows that it’s not easy being green. But you have to wonder why the hell he doesn’t wear a coat in the winter.

50. Miss Piggy can be a lovely Christmas angel.

Actually personality wise, she’s anything but angelic. But this is pretty funny.

51. Seems like Beaker has some holiday anxiety.

To be fair, Beaker has every reason to be nervous. After all, he gets blown up a lot at Muppet Labs.

52. Beaker wonders what’s in this gift box.

Chances are if it’s from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, it’s probably something that’ll blow up in Beaker’s face. Otherwise, I’m not so sure.

53. These Sesame Street baubles will make your season bright.

Includes Cookie Monster, Oscar, Elmo, Bert, and Ernie. Available on Etsy.

54. You can surely deck the halls wearing this Kermit Christmas sweater.

He’s even singing to “Deck the Halls.” Love how he’s wearing plaid and a Santa hat.

55. This Kermit and Piggy Christmas sweater vest has all the trimmings.

This even has Santa, tinsel, and a tree that lights up. Yes, these Christmas sweaters can be quite elaborate.

56. On this wreath Kermit and his friends sing their holiday favorites.

Well, it just has Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Animal. All in all, this is a nice wreath for any door.

57. Listen to the Muppets sing your Christmas favorites with John Denver in A Christmas Together.

This came out in the 1980s since John Denver died in a plane crash during the 1990s. But yes, this exists.

58. This Kermit Santa wreath will always greet guests with a smile.

He even has a present in his hands, too. Of course, he’d prefer flies over cookies since he’s a frog.

59. If you like The Muppet Christmas Carol, then check out this gingerbread display.

Yes, it’s the gingerbread version of the street you see in the movie. Yet, they have fraggles underground which weren’t featured.

60. Wish your hubby a Merry Kissmas with this holiday card.

Okay, that’s cute. Yet, a great example of a Muppet item that’s certainly not for kids.

61. Nothing makes the holiday season merrier like this Muppet North Pole Christmas village.

Yes, they have a Muppet Christmas village, too. And even Muppet figurines to match.

62. Hope this Big Bird wreath makes your Christmas warm and fuzzy.

Just a green rag wreath with pom poms. Like seeing Big Bird with a scarf.

63. Oscar celebrates the holiday season the only way he knows how.

He even has his trash can decorated with well, garbage. Well, at least he recycles.

64. Show your grouchiness this Christmas with this Oscar sweater.

Yeah, Oscar isn’t in the mood to talk right now. Still, this is brilliant.

65. How about a Christmas sweater of Oscar’s can in lights?

Even in a Santa hat and beard, Oscar is still his old grouchy self. Stay grouchy, my friend.

66. Nothing cheers a child up on Christmas like an Elmo plush stocking with green mittens.

Not sure if this one sings. But I’m sure little kids will enjoy it. Elmo even has a green hat to match.

67. Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster always play great Christmas music.

I like how Cookie Monster stuck a lot of cookies in his saxophone. What a way to ruin an instrument. But he couldn’t resist.

68. Elmo, Ernie, and Bert take time to be Santa’s helpers.

Well, Elmo is dressed as an elf. Ernie makes a rocking horse. Yet, Bert builds a birdhouse, most likely for his pigeons.

Well, Elmo is dressed as an elf. Ernie paints a rocking horse. Yet, Bert builds a birdhouse, most likely for his pigeons.

69. This holiday Miss Piggy doll has great Christmas style.

Knowing Piggy, this dress is probably from some high fashion designer. Since she dresses only from the best.

70. This Christmas, Rowlf plays a ditty on his piano.

Well, Rowlf doesn’t appear much as a Muppet these days. But this is a very cute card with him in a Santa hat.

71. This Christmas Cookie Monster builds his own gingerbread house.

You know he’ll most likely devour it in a way that’ll result in a big mess not long after the presentation. Because we know Cookie Monster and what he likes.

72. In December, the Count always counts down the days to Christmas.

Kind of wish he had a calendar of December instead of this. But it’ll do.

73. Ernie Makes a list while Bert puts up the lights.

And it seems that Ernie has a lot of things he wants for Christmas. Meanwhile, Bert had an accident and got himself tangled.

74. Big Bird comes in dressed as Santa with a sack of toys.

Here he is with this teddy bear Radar. Still, this is quite adorable if you ask me.

75. This assortment of Sesame Street ornaments should be a welcome addition to your Christmas tree.

Includes Ernie, Bert, Grover, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Elmo, and Oscar. Each of these has quite a clever spin.

76. This Cookie Monster wreath will make your holiday home especially welcoming.

Well, it has a plush Cookie on a rag and pom pom wreath. Love it.

77. This Sesame Street Christmas tree will surely make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Like how it has Big Bird on the tree as it should since he’s the face of Sesame Street. But I like the other plush ornaments as well.

78. These light up Sesame Street decorations will make your season bright.

These consist of Elmo, Cookie Monster, and a Christmas tree. Sure to lift spirits of those who see them.

These consist of Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby. Sure to lift spirits of those who see them.

79. Miss Piggy always loves to spend her holidays with her Kermie.

However, sometimes she doesn’t realize that Kermie needs his space. But what do you know?

80. Beaker wishes everyone a Merry Christmas in the only way he knows how.

Yeah, he just says “meep.” But at least he’s wearing a set of reindeer ears and antlers.

81. Miss Piggy always wishes a merry Christmas to moi.

Because we all know she’s the ultimate diva. And she always knows the value of self-care.

82. How about Miss Piggy in this Christmas pose?

I had to include a card like this of her in a sexy lady pose. Because she does a lot of these in pictures.

83. Of course, I can’t leave out a Christmas card of Mr. Scrooge.

Yes, I know it’s of Michael Caine who’s not a Muppet. But this is from The Muppet Christmas Carol. So it goes on the post.

84. This holiday season Rosita likes to take to the ice.

Well, I had to include at least one female Muppet from Sesame Street who wasn’t Abby Cadabby. Still, like her white sparkly outfit.

85. Miss Piggy always likes to get on top of presents.

She’s parodying many of the pinup images. Yet, I couldn’t leave this ornament out.

86. Guy Smiley always looks dashing as a toy soldier.

Yet, when he opens his mouth, he certainly doesn’t sound like one. But like the uniform nonetheless.

87. Nothing brings a bang out of the season like this Hallmark ornament of Gonzo the great in a cannon.

For nothing says Christmas like getting yourself shot out of a cannon. Honestly, how does Gonzo survive such stunts?

88. Rosita always appreciates a Christmas pinata.

It helps that it’s red with a green ribbon. Still, this is adorable.

89. Prairie Dawn sleeps on the armchair while waiting for Santa.

She even has the cookies on the arm. Yet, Santa would find this a little bit inconvenient.

90. Top your Christmas tree with Miss Piggy on the moon.

To be fair, this is an old tree topper. But it surely brings out Piggy’s good side.

91. Animal is wild about Christmas.

Well, he’s wild about anything. And yes, he can be a bit unhinged for his own good.

92. Of course, it’s not a Christmas tree without an ornament of the Electric Mayhem bus.

Because there’s no chance I could do a Muppet post and forget the Electric Mayhem. Those guys rock.

93. Make your Christmas merry by wearing this Sesame Street holiday sweater.

Features Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. Sure it’s for adults but kids will love it.

94. Bet you’ve never seen a Christmas tree on Sesame Street like this.

I guess this one was at a mall. But it features characters like Elmo Cookie Monster, and Big Bird.

95. This Kermit nutcracker comes in his own Santa suit.

And he has the full outfit on, not just the robe. He even carries presents, too.

96. Who wouldn’t want to cuddle with Santa Gonzo this holiday season?

To be honest, Gonzo is kind of weird if you ask me. I mean his girlfriend is a chicken for God’s sake.

97. Fans of The Muppet Christmas Carol might appreciate this postcard of the Marley brothers.

On second thought, these guys look creepy in this. Like they’re from some Hensonian nightmare.

98. Girls who love Kermit will adore this Christmas sweater.

Unfortunately, Miss Piggy will most likely try to get her hands on it even if she has to fight tooth and nail. Like the bow on him though.

99. On this stocking Bert reads a book about oatmeal.

Well, I included the Ernie nutcracker. So I had to go with this. Still, not a book I’d read for fun.

100. Listen to seasonal favorites with the Green and Red Christmas album from the Muppets.

Features Kermit and Miss Piggy on the front. But I’m sure all the Muppets are well represented in the song listing.

Disney Welcomes You to the Happiest Christmas Celebration on Earth

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 5, 2016

disney-christmas-eve-tinkerbell-tree-mickey-1-wg

Our next stop for Merry Geekmas is onward to the wonderful world of Disney. Unlike the other franchises we’ve seen so far, Disney has been in the Christmas business for years. Hell, they have Christmas celebrations at their parks as well as Christmas specials for decades, especially during the 1990s. Let’s just say that this is a franchise that’s heavily cashed in on the Christmas commercialization phenomenon big time. Of course, Disney has a ton of fans around the world. But there are plenty of Disney fanatics out there who go all out. And I’m not talking about kids or parents here. I’m talking about adults who’d dress up as Disney characters at Comic Con and go all Disney out on Christmas. And that’s where I come in. These people could easily do a Disney themed Christmas tree and decorations. You know, the real Disney nerds. So for your reading pleasure this holiday season, I bring you an assortment of tidings from the magical world of Disney.

Eeyore wishes you a happy Christmas.

Yet, we’re not sure if Eeyore will be merry because merriment isn’t his strong suit. But his friends accept him anyway.

2. Do you want to build a snowman Christmas tree that is?

“Hi, I’m Olaf and I give warm hugs.” Easier than building a snowman in parts of the country this time of year, especially where I live.

3. On your tree, say Merry Christmas with mouse ears.

As I said before, I’m not a fan of Mickey and his friends. But nevertheless, I feel obligated to show these.

4. Frozen fans will enjoy this Olaf nutcracker.

And in the spirit of Christmas, he even has a Santa hat as well as red and green scarf. You can’t help but like this.

5. Greet your friends and family with this Disney Christmas wreath.

Though I’m not a fan of classic Disney characters, I knew I had to make concessions here. This is one of them.

6. You can always let it go with this Elsa Christmas tree ornament.

For nothing says Christmas than snapping out at your coronation, leaving your kingdom to eternal winter, and running away from your queenly responsibilities. Yes, Elsa, what a way to let it go.

7. Feast your eyes on these Mickey Mouse Christmas cookies this holiday season.

Sure they may be Mickey Mouse cookies. But they seem rather easy to make though.

8. Sven seems to be ready for the holidays.

He even has his antlers in Christmas lights. Hope it doesn’t keep him from hauling ice.

9. These Disney Princess ornaments are a must have for any magical Christmas tree.

Each of these has a cloth skirt. Not sure why Jasmine has one since she usually wears her puffy harem pants.

10. Now you can own a Mickey Mouse nutcracker this holiday season.

And he comes in 5 different variations. Hope you can take your pick. I’m going with none of them.

11. All this Mickey Mouse wreath needs is a Santa hat.

After all, a Santa hat can always make any wreath look suitable for Christmas. Even one with mouse ears. This one even has lights.

12. Nothing brings joy on Christmas like a Mickey Mouse tree.

Of course, that’s not the case in my house. But I understand Mickey has his fans. So I’ll use this one.

13. This Disney Princess Christmas tree is a little girl’s dream.

Even with it’s girliness, I actually like this one. Love how they use Disney princess dolls on the branches.

14. How about a Mickey Mouse stocking wizard hat?

This one is from the Fantasia “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment. You can see why it’s shaped that way.

15. Treasure Christmas forever with this Disney keepsake.

They have a lot of these types of displays from Disney. This one features a frozen pond which you won’t see at the Disney parks in this country.

16. Grace your Christmas tree with these Disney mouse ear ornaments.

These ornaments feature many of your favorite Disney movie characters. This even includes villains like Ursula and Maleficent.

These ornaments feature many of your favorite Disney movie characters. This even includes villains like Ursula. Captain Hook, and Maleficent.

17. Now that’s one big Christmas stocking.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually made this. However, this doesn’t mean I care for the characters on here. Because I don’t.

18. If you liked Frozen Fever, then you’ll love this inflatable Olaf snowman in your yard.

Whenever Elsa sneezes she tends to create these little snowmen. Still, this is adorable.

19. Speaking of Frozen, any little girl would want to check out this Elsa Christmas stocking.

There’s also an Olaf stocking. But since Elsa is way more popular, it goes on the post instead.

20. There’s no better royal addition on your tree than these Disney Princess ornaments.

However, I’m not sure whether Mulan and Pocahontas qualify as princesses. But what the hell, it’s Disney so I’ll allow it.

21. On Christmas Eve, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

And I’m sure diehard Disney fans would want a shirt like this. Fair enough.

22. Make Christmas magical with this snow globe Disney castle.

I suppose this doesn’t come cheap. Also includes a Cinderella snow globe coach.

23. Fans of Alice in Wonderland will surely adore this Christmas tree.

Though I have to admit, it’s a rather trippy Disney movie from the 1950s. But I understand it has its fans.

24. These Mickey snowman cookies might just as well melt your heart.

They just look like regular snowmen but with Mickey Mouse ears. Though I like them better than Mickey cookies.

25. For your magical Christmas party, these Minnie Mouse ears are a must.

Because nothing says Disney like iconic mouse ears. I mean Mickey Mouse is the franchise mascot.

26. May you always have a friend this Christmas with these Toy Story ornaments on your tree.

Consists of Woody with Christmas lights, Buzz Lightyear with a candy cane, and an alien with one, too. All in all, these are great.

27. If you prefer a Christmas underwater, this Finding Nemo ornament is for you.

And he surely looks excited for Christmas doesn’t he? Still, this is cute.

28. Celebrate the season with this Disney keepsake Christmas tree.

Now this is a very fancy display if you ask me. Has a lot of great detail. Probably not cheap.

29. You can always light up a show with this Minnie Mouse inflatable display.

You see, Minnie Mouse is all ready for Christmas. Her Christmas tree is even full of bows like her house.

30. For a more naturalistic Mickey Mouse wreath, this one got you covered.

This one contains pine cones and holly berries. And in a true Mickey Mouse fashion.

31. Fans of Finding Nemo will want to hang this stocking near the fireplace.

This one has Nemo with his little friends. Sure the snowflakes don’t fit in with the coral reef landscape. But this is for Christmas.

32. Lion King fans would love to have a Simba’s portrait ornament on their tree.

Sure it’s a bauble of Simba when he was a cub drawn by Rafiki. But it’s a rather iconic image from the movie.

33. You can always spread magical cheer with this Disney Christmas village collection.

Yes, they have these. Because Disney is a very profitable franchise. So I had to include this.

34. This Christmas quit of Mickey and Minnie will bring you endless joy.

This one has Mickey and Minnie in the snow. And the quilt is used for display mostly.

35. Nothing makes your Christmas magical like these Mickey Mouse cookies.

Each cookie presented has its own unique Christmas design on it. Hope you enjoy.

36. Make your Christmas part of the Hundred Acre Wood with this Winnie the Pooh wreath.

And here we have Pooh in his Christmas jammies. This is so adorable you can’t resist it.

37. Hope this gingerbread Cinderella’s castle make all your Christmas dreams come true.

Man, and I though the Hogwarts gingerbread scenes were spectacular. This really takes the cake for me. Love the detail.

38. This summer Olaf ornament will brighten your Christmas season.

Because nothing says Christmas like a snowman fantasizing about summer while completely ignoring the basics of thermodynamics. Yeah, we all know what happens to snowmen when the weather is above a certain temperature.

39. For a Disney Christmas, you can choose from a variety of stockings.

And boy, do they have a wide variety here. These feature everything from classic characters, to princesses and Pixar.

40. This Pooh Christmas plush will make your holidays as sweet as honey.

While I don’t care for classic Disney characters, I can’t help but like Winnie the Pooh. Perhaps it’s because he and his friends are more relatable to all ages. Still, this is cute.

41. Merry Christmas from Mickey Mouse and his friends.

This 1954 Christmas card is kind of creepy to me. It sort of Mickey controlling Pinocchio in an evil puppetmeister mode. Disturbing.

42. Nothing shows you the value of friendship this Christmas like an inflatable of Sven and Olaf.

Sven even has a Christmas wreath on him as Olaf rides on top of him. Sure it’s from Frozen but it melts your heart.

43. Fans of the Little Mermaid may want to hang this stocking.

After all, it consists of Ariel’s fish tail and her seashell bra piece. What more can you ask for?

44. This Mickey Mouse wreath seems to be as sweet as candy.

Well, it has candy pieces on it. Nevertheless, it’s very much in tune with the Christmas spirit.

45. This Mickey Mouse cake makes a delectable Christmas treat.

Okay, I’m not a fan of Mickey Mouse. But I couldn’t miss this cake up. Since I know he has his fans.

46. Any Disney princess would love to have a Christmas tree like this.

Hey, I’m 26 years old and even I wouldn’t mind having a Christmas tree like this. I mean what girl wouldn’t?

47. There is no Christmas ornament like this that tells a tale as old as time.

For nothing says Christmas like some good old-fashioned Stockholm Syndrome. Still, to be fair, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie by far.

48. A Christmas tree like this is a must have for any mad tea party.

Yes, this is another Alice in Wonderland Christmas tree. All I know is fans may want to see this.

49. Eeyore always loves a gingerbread cookie now and then.

Though he may not always show it. But you have to love Eeyore’s Santa hat though.

50. I’m sure a Frozen fan would clearly want a Queen Elsa tree topper.

Well, since Christmas takes place in winter, this is quite fitting. However, Elsa isn’t as great a role model to young women as many think she is.

51. If you like Ursula, then this Christmas tree ornament in her Vanessa disguise is for you.

For nothing says Christmas like stealing someone else’s boyfriend so you can take over the ocean by marrying him. Still, if Ursula was smart she could’ve just killed Prince Eric which would save all the trouble.

52. Treasure the memory of The Lion King with this Simba Hallmark keepsake ornament.

After all, nothing says Christmas like singing a lively musical number about being king of the pride lands without considering that your dad must die before that would happen. Of course, Simba probably thought that was long way off. However, we all remember what happens to Mufasa not too far after this.

53. Celebrate the Hunchback of Notre Dame with this Christmas tree ornament from Hallmark.

Because nothing says Christmas like saving a girl’s life from your crazy self-righteous guardian in hopes you might get in her pants. Yet, she only wants to be friends. Sorry, Quasimodo, but she has eyes for Phoebus.

54. Perhaps this Disney Christmas tea pot would bring warmth during the Christmas season.

Sure it has Micke and Minnie on it. But I couldn’t avoid putting it in my post since it’s such a unique item.

55. Wish everyone in your home a Merry Christmas with this Mickey Mouse tree.

Okay, I’m no fan of Mickey Mouse. But I have to admit, this is a pretty clever way of decorating a Christmas tree.

56. There’s nothing sweeter on Christmas like this Mickey and Minnie candy cane decoration.

Well, at least it’s unique enough to put on my post. Yet, I don’t care for Mickey and Minnie much.

57. Make your home a winter wonderland with this Frozen wreath.

After all, there’s no better way to say “Let It Snow” than this. Even features Olaf.

58. Nothing says a Merry Christmas than a Mickey Mouse bauble wreath.

This one has baubles of all kinds of colors. Any Mickey fan would want this on their front door during the holidays.

59. This Mickey Mouse hat makes a rather magical tree topper.

Not exactly something I’d want to put on my Christmas tree. But someone else might beg to differ.

60. This Winnie the Pooh Christmas inflatable will surely melt your heart.

He comes out of present in a Santa hat and holding a candy cane. What’s not to love?

61. Fans of the aliens from Toy Story, have I got a tree for you?

Just make sure you don’t have any claws on your ceiling. Because such things have a special meaning to them.

62. No Disney princess should ever celebrate Christmas without a wreath like this.

This one includes Disney Princesses with snowflakes. Surely you can’t resist this.

63. For a Frozen Christmas tree, it’s best that it’s covered with snow.

With an Elsa tree topper, this is a rather fitting Christmas tree. Helps that the ornaments match, too.

64. If you liked the Little Mermaid, then try this ornament on your Christmas tree.

After all, nothing says Christmas like musing about changing everything about yourself for a guy you just met. Sure Ariel is more proactive than other Disney Princess, but she’s very much immature.

65. You’ll never know what you’ll see in a Mickey Mouse Christmas wreath.

This one has all kinds of things like flowers, presents, and snowflakes. Has very much a Christmas and creative touch.

66. Relive your favorite moments from Beauty and the Beast with this Hallmark keepsake ornament.

For nothing says Christmas like having a talking wardrobe cheer you up after you let the Beast take you hostage so your dad may leave. And he wants you to have dinner with him which you want no part of.

67. Now this is what I’d call the ultimate Disney Christmas tree.

Guess the ornaments on this tree are nowhere near cheap. Since many seem like you’d find them in a catalog.

68. Pixar fans will surely appreciate a Christmas tree like this.

It even has a balloon house tree topper. Even has a lot of Pixar stuff on it, too.

69. These Mickey Mouse Christmas jars are great for storing candy.

Well, 2 of them have bows on the top. So you can’t say they’re necessarily Mickey jars. But all have the ears.

70. Santa Pooh always enjoys his honey.

And here he is on a jar with a candy cane. Okay, he doesn’t have a beard. But I don’t care.

71. Seems like the Genie likes to sing Christmas carols.

Then again, the Genie always likes to show off his talents. Though I’m sure it’s very unlikely Christmas is celebrated where he’s at.

72. This Disney Christmas wreath will surely make your holidays just as sweet.

Note that it features Disney characters in gingerbread. Still, it’s quite colorful.

73. On Christmas, Mike and Sully always demonstrate the power of friendship.

This is a nice Christmas wreath from Monster’s Inc. Like how Mike and Sully are featured.

74. If you like Olaf, than this Olaf Christmas vacation inflatable is for you.

Of course, being a snowman, he certainly can’t celebrate Christmas anywhere south of Florida even if he wanted to. Because he’d be reduced to water there. Not sure how to explain this to kids.

75. This snowman Tigger inflatable would always make one bounce for joy.

Is Tigger in that snowman? Might want to get him out before he contacts hypothermia.

76. This Inside Out tree will inspire all kinds of emotions.

This one is quite creative. Love the colors. Hope it inspires joy.

77. Cherish the joy of family this Christmas with this Frozen keepsake ornament.

For nothing says Christmsa like shutting your little sister out of your life after accidentally knocking her unconscious with your ice powers. Now both Elsa and Anna are screwed up for the first part of the movie.

78. If you like Pocahontas, then feast your eyes on this ornament.

For nothing says Christmas like a colonialist romance that never happened in real life due to a large age difference. Also, Pocahontas, you should know he may be carrying small pox. Just saying.

79. This Christmas inflatable from Winnie the Pooh brings winter fun.

Not sure how I feel about Eeyore being used as a reindeer to pull the sleigh. Yes, he’s a donkey but still. Can’t he get a break?

80. If you love Sleeping Beauty, then you might enjoy having this ornament on your tree.

For nothing says Christmas by having to inflict some degree of sexual assault to wake up your girlfriend from a magically induced coma. Way to teach us about consent, Disney.

For nothing says Christmas by having to inflict some degree of G-rated sexual assault to wake up your girlfriend from a magically induced coma. Way to teach us about consent, Disney.

81. A Mickey Mouse wreath can always do with some ornaments.

Well, it has gold and baubles that shine. The red ribbon looks nice, too.

82. Celebrate this holiday season with this animated table top Christmas tree from Disney.

Again, another expensive trinket from Disney suited for the holiday season. Not sure if I’d advise anyone to get it. But it’s unique so it goes on the post.

83. This Cinderella wreath is perfect for a Christmas ball.

Well, it surely sparkles like Cinderella’s dress. But I have say she’s not among my favorites.

84. This Mickey Mouse Christmas wreath is filled with Disney memories.

Includes ornaments from classic Disney characters as well as the movies. And it has a Santa hat on top.

85. Even WALL-E knows how to deck the halls.

And he seems to be caught up in the lights. Nevertheless, this is adorable.

86. Of course, WALL-E and EVE would rather celebrate the season together.

This one has WALL-E holding the Christmas tree and EVE holding the lights. Still, so cute.

87. Remember moments from Pinocchio with this ornament on your tree.

Because nothing says Christmas like being locked in a cage after skipping school to go to an island amusement park that turns boys into donkeys. And now you’re lying to the Blue Fairy to save your ass.

88. These Bambi outdoor Christmas decor will make your season bright.

Uh, I’m not sure if Thumper and Bambi would even celebrate Christmas for they certainly didn’t have stuff like that in the movie. Also, the holiday season isn’t a great time for deer especially since it’s early December.

89. This Elsa Christmas dress is surely worth freezing for.

Yes, they have one of these things for Elsa. Still, you have to like the snowflakes and braid on it.

90. I’m sure any mouse would want these Mickey Mouse Oreo Christmas cookies.

Each of these is decorated in a respective fashion. Be sure to use small Oreos for the ears.

91. This Mickey Mouse wreath will bring you to a winter wonderland.

After all, it’s surely covered in snowflakes, silver, and blue. Great if you want to go with Cinderella or Frozen.

92. This Alice in Wonderland Christmas wreath is curiouser and curiouser.

This one is also covered in roses and playing cards. Better than some of the others on this post as far as I’m concerned.

93. This Ariel Christmas wreath comes all the way from under the sea.

This one is covered in starfish to show for it. Still, it’s so unique that I had to include it.

94. Show up to your Disney Christmas in this Mickey Mouse ugly sweater.

Had to include at least one ugly Christmas sweater on this post. Because tis the season.

95. On Christmas, follow Mickey and just say Ho!

I guess this Christmas sweatshirt is of vintage variety. Still, couldn’t pass this up since ho has rather different connotations today.

96. Use mouse lights to brighten you Christmas tree any way you’d like.

And they’re available in several different colors. Yet, they all sport the iconic ears of Mickey Mouse.

97. You can’t go wrong with this gingerbread castle on a Frozen Christmas.

And yes, it surely stands out when you look at it. Still, this is from a display at Disney World in 2014.

98. This gingerbread Up house will surely take flight.

This one uses jelly beans for balloons. Nevertheless, it’s truly a work of art.

99. You can always see Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto in their Christmas teacups.

Of course, teacups rides are iconic to Disney> So it’s why I included this inflatable on this post.

100. This Disney tsum tsum Christmas tree will melt your heart.

Tsum Tsums are plush doll heads with cute faces. Still, this will certainly warm hearts this holiday season.

Have a Spectacularly Magical Wizarding Harry Potter Christmas

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 4, 2016

22-harry-potter-christmas-w750-h560-2x

Moving on for my Merry Geekmas themed posts is on to Harry Potter. Unlike franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars, this universe certainly celebrates Christmas as you’ve probably seen in each of the books. This despite the fact that there’s not a lot of talk about Christianity other than the presence of churches in wizard villages as well the Fat Friar ghost. So it’s possible that at least wizards in the HP universe probably do have some degree of religious beliefs. They just don’t talk about them. At any rate, whenever it’s Christmas at Hogwarts, there are usually a brightly decorated trees and decor in the Great Hall even though it may be somewhat empty when students spend the holidays with their families. In Goblet of Fire, the Great Hall Christmas decor was even more spectacular with the Triwizard Tournament going on. As you can see, it was transformed into a winter wonderland for the Yule Ball, which Harry and Ron didn’t enjoy by the way. This especially goes for Ron since he wore a famously ugly dress robe and got pissed off that the girl he liked was going out with a celebrated Quidditch player he had previously gushed over. And he didn’t even realize it while Harry and the readers certainly did. Still, while Harry’s Christmas was more or less a happy occasion in the books before Goblet of Fire, especially the first when he received the Invisibility Cloak and his own Weasley sweater, it becomes darker as the books go on. One noteworthy example would be in The Order of the Phoenix when Nagini attacked Arthur Weasley in the Ministry. Of course, Christmas is certainly not a happy occasion for Neville Longbottom who certainly doesn’t look forward to it. Why? Because Christmas for him usually consists of visiting his parents who were tortured by Deatheaters to the point of insanity that they don’t recognize him. At any rate, there are plenty of Harry Potter fans that celebrate the holiday season in their own magically way possible. So for your reading pleasure, I give you an assortment of ways you can have a Harry Potter Christmas.

Now you can celebrate the holidays with your own Harry Potter Weasley sweater.

Each Weasley sweater has a color with the wearer’s first initial. Harry’s is blue. Ron’s is maroon.

2. If you like fantastic beasts, then you’ll adore this baby dragon ornament.

This one is of Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback which Hagrid got in the first book. They had to have the little guy sent away. Later had name changed to Norberta.

3. A Patronus ornament will ward off Dementors from your tree.

This one is of a stag which is Harry’s patronus charm. It was also his father’s as well.

4. Hope you can catch the Harry Potter magic this Christmas with this stocking.

This one has Hogwarts, Harry’s lightning bolt scar, and glasses. Is also in red and yellow Gryffindor colors.

5. Be sure to hang up the mistletoe but beware of nargles.

Nargles are creatures Luna Lovegood or her dad might’ve made up. They’re said to live in mistletoe and be quite the little thieves.

6. Fans of the Sorcerer’s Stone might like to have this flying key ornament on their tree.

The flying keys were in the dungeon where the sorcerer’s stone was being held. Yet, Harry spotted the one with the broken wing that fit through the door.

7. Those who like the Chamber of Secrets might want to have a mandrake ornament on their tree.

They’re the plants that look like ugly babies with screams that could kill someone. Yet, they were instrumental in reviving people from being petrified.

8. Looks like this owl has a Hogwarts letter.

Well, it’s an owl ornament with a letter in its beak. Understand that wizards correspond through owl post in these books.

9. Merry Christmas from the Burrow.

As we all know, the Burrow is the Weasley house. However, I doubt that the Weasleys would use electric Christmas light decorations. Then again, Mr. Weasley likes Muggle stuff so it’s kind of believable.

10. Send a seasons greetings with this Harry Potter Christmas card.

This one has Harry as a tree with his glasses, wand, and Gryffindor scarf. And Hedwig is by his side.

11. Dobby is on top of the Christmas tree.

Dobby is wearing a Santa hat. Dobby is ready for Christmas.

12. Now this is a real Hogwarts stocking.

It has the Hogwarts logo and everything. Hope Santa gets a load of this.

13. Nothing makes a great Hogwarts Christmas tree than with the Sorting Hat on top.

However, should a sword fall out when you’re placing the Sorting Hat on top of the Christmas tree, then consider yourself a true Gryffindor. Also, beware of angry goblins from Gringotts.

14. Show your magical side this Christmas with this Harry Potter ugly sweater.

As you can see, it contains almost all the stuff you’d associate with Harry Potter. Contains headwig, his glasses, his scar, his patronus, and the mark of the Deathly Hallows.

15. A Harry Potter ugly sweater like this reflects the true Christmas spirit.

This one features wands, Harry’s glasses, his scar, and the Golden Snitch. All in a background of snowflakes and Christmas trees.

16. Treasure moments of Harry and Dumbledore by the Pensieve with this Hallmark Keepsake ornament on your Christmas tree.

Because nothing says Christmas like looking into people’s unpleasant memories in order to stop Lord Voldemort. This is especially so in the Half-Blood Prince.

17. How about a list that writes itself on your Christmas tree?

Well, Rita Skeeter has her Quick Quotes Quill that writes whatever she wants it to say. Still, I think this is quite clever if you ask me.

18. This Harry Potter tree skirt is a real patchwork.

This seems to be all Harry Potter out. Includes things like Platform 9 3/4, a wand, and Hedwig.

19. For this Harry Potter Christmas, you can’t avoid not wearing this ugly sweater.

Yes, this is another ugly Harry Potter holiday sweater. Yet, this is the most Christmasy one so far.

20. Looks like a doe patronus guides to Godric’s sword in a frozen lake.

We all know that’s Snape doing it since the doe reflects his love for Lily. Ron uses the sword to destroy Slytherin’s locket.

21. For a homey Christmas touch, you might want to go with a gingerbread Burrow.

I had a Burrow gingerbread house in the Harry Potter treat post in March. But this is more in keeping with the holiday spirit.

22. How about a gingerbread Hogwarts Express?

This one doesn’t use much icing at all. Yet, it’s surely in the Harry Potter spirit especially with the 9 3/4.

23. Add a dash of Dark Arts this Christmas with these Unforgivable Curse ornaments.

Because nothing says Christmas like 3 of the most powerful and sinister spells. You know spells that are classified as Unforgivable that they lead to a one way ticket to Azkaban on a life sentence. Except in the later Harry Potter books.

24. Make your Christmas tree more forbidden with vials of unicorn blood.

You know the substance that Voldemort sustained on when he was living in the back of Quirrell’s head. Is forbidden by the Ministry of Magic and will result in the drinker living a half-life, a cursed life.

25. It’s always nice have Christmas with a cozy gingerbread of Hagrid’s hut.

Just remember it’s not very nice on the inside since housekeeping isn’t Hagrid’s strong suit. Still, Harry and his friends don’t seem to mind.

26. Grace your door with this magical Harry Potter Christmas wreath.

This one includes Hedwig, Harry, and a wand. And all are added in what would’ve been an otherwise normal Christmas wreath.

27. Solemnly swear you’re up to no good with this Marauder’s Map Christmas tree skirt.

Those are the words you say in order to open the Marauder’s Map of Hogwarts which can monitor everyone. Makes me wonder why Fred and George didn’t tell Ron about Scabbers being Peter Pettigrew. I mean they had to have known.

28. This howler ornament is well worth the shout out.

After all, nothing says Christmas like a letter from your mom yelling at you after you and your best friend use the family car to get to Hogwarts which crashed into the Whomping Willow. And having that car go rogue ever since. Still, when Mrs. Weasley gets pissed, watch out.

29. For a touch of pink on your tree, this Umbridge ornament has you covered.

I’m not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, she seems to have a scale on her shoulder and is riding a tricycle, which might mean she’s under torture. On the other hand, it might symbolize her authority which would make me cringe.

30. This gingerbread Burrow is all full of Christmas cheer.

Now that seems more like how the Weasleys would decorate their house for the holidays. Like the wreaths on it.

31. An owl on top of a Harry Potter Christmas tree can be especially magical.

This one even has a train track for the Hogwarts Express in the middle as well as a cauldron base. Love the candles surrounding the tree.

32. Guess Hedwig has a little Christmas present.

Well, that’s nice of Hedwig. Wonder who it’s from. I’m guessing Hagrid or the Weasleys.

33. How about a Christmas tree with golden snitches around it?

This one even has cups and spells all over it. Yet, doesn’t use as much light as the other tree did.

34. Relive Harry’s first time in Dumbledore’s office with this Hallmark keepsake ornament.

For nothing says Christmas like being sent to the principal’s office for freaking out a student with a talent you didn’t know you had. Luckily Dumbledore already has an idea of who opened the Chamber of Secrets anyway.

35. This gingerbread Hogwarts is a real Christmas delight.

This one had to be from the Chamber of Secrets since Mr. Weasley’s car is in the Whomping Willow. Don’t worry, it’ll find its way out.

36. This Marauder’s Map tree skirt will show exactly where you need to go.

Yes, this is another Marauder’s Map tree skirt. But this one shows the actual map of Hogwarts.

37. Now this seems like the ultimate Harry Potter Christmas tree.

This one has Hedwig on top, a Gryffindor scarf garland, the Hogwarts logo, and Harry’s Firebolt. Still, is that Scabbers the rat?

38. Any true Harry Potter fan should know where Harry catches the train.

Yes, Platform 9 3/4 it is. Since it’s between Platforms 9 and 10 at the King’s Cross station.

39. Count down to Christmas with your own Harry Potter Advent calendar.

Each day has a surprise inside as well as features an aspect from the series. Like how it has the Great Hall Christmas scene from the first movie.

40. Snape fans would certainly want a Christmas ornament like this.

After all, his doe patronus and “Always” illustrate his undying love for Lily. Though it didn’t encourage Snape to treat Harry better during Potions class.

41. Seems like we have ourselves a little Harry Potter snowman.

This bauble ornament even has a snow Headwig, too. All in all, this is adorable.

42. For a Harry Potter Christmas, nothing’s more golden than the Golden Snitch.

You know what Harry’s charged to catch as a Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Still, this one seems easy to make.

43. There’s nothing more magical this Christmas like this gingerbread Hogwarts castle.

This one even includes a little Hagrid’s hut, too. Not as intricate as some of the ones I’ve seen, but nonetheless charming.

44. Wake up Christmas morning in your very own ugly Harry Potter pajamas.

Yes, these are ugly Harry Potter PJs for Christmas. Sure they look festive yet, their existence defies all explanation.

45. This gingerbread Hogwarts is an enchanting treat of its own.

Not sure what to think of this one. Then again, maybe I’m more used to looking at Hogwarts from a different angle than this.

46. For Hogwarts pride, feel free to show these ornaments on your tree.

It’s a set that includes the Hogwarts logo along with the 4 Houses. I’m sure none of these come cheap.

47. How about topping your Christmas tree with a golden snitch.

Well, that’s a bright golden snitch, all right. Yet, the fact it’s made from gold wires and lights certainly helps.

48. For a more magical Christmas, you might want to go with this Christmas wreath.

This one has owls, stars, quill, and a scroll with writing. Certainly a Harry Potter Christmas wreath if there was one.

49. Pick a stocking for Christmas that’s respective of your Hogwarts House.

Wonder if any of the students have stockings like these at Hogwarts. Wouldn’t be surprised.

50. A Harry Potter Christmas tree always has to have some big lanterns near the bottom.

Yet, another Harry Potter Christmas tree. At least it can bring out some degree of light. Or maybe not.

51. These Harry Potter Christmas gingerbread cookies are magically tasty.

Say hello to the Harry Potter Christmas cookie assortment. Includes Dumbledore in a Santa hat long with stockings and Hogwarts.

52. Show your support for the Dark Lord with this Dark Mark ornament.

For nothing says Christmas like pledging your support for Lord Voldemort and killing people to promote pureblood supremacy. This is just crazy.

53. Never forget anything again with this remembrall ornament.

It’s a clear ball that turns red if you forget something. But as Neville said, he sometimes doesn’t remember what he’s forgotten.

54. This gingerbread Hogwarts is pure winter wonderland.

This one has the roof covered in snow. Even has Harry and his friends, too.

55. Nothing sets your Christmas tree brewing like these potion ornaments.

Of course, nothing says Christmas like a date rape drug, a truth serum, a potion that makes you change into someone else for an hour, or one that brings good luck. Seriously, if you don’t understand me, read the books.

56. Select the ornament that best represents your Hogwarts House.

Yes, they have baubles for Hogwarts houses, too. This one is a more simplified image than most.

57. Anyone who likes Harry’s DADA teachers may enjoy these ornaments.

These seem to consist of cat plates, board questions, Moody’s magic eye, chocolate bars, Lockhart’s books, a boggart box, and Scabbers. You can guess which things belong to which one.

58. Feast your eyes on these Hogwarts snowflakes.

Each one is the color of a Hogwarts House. Hogwarts snowflake is the exception since it represents the whole school.

59. Make your Christmas tree fiery by topping it with a phoenix.

You can imagine that Dumbledore probably has a Christmas tree like this in his office. Or at least he should.

60. Drink your Christmas coffee with this Deathly Hallows yuletide mug.

It has the Deathly Hallows symbol as a Christmas tree. That has to be bloody brilliant as Ron would say.

61. Make your Christmas magical with this Deathly Hallows wreath at your door.

This is a lovely evergreen imprint of the Deathly Hallows which might not be too hard to make. And it’s topped with a bow.

62. For a more golden wreath, this one got you covered.

This one contains Deathly Halllows symbols, golden snitches, and scrolls. All on a wreath of pine cones.

63. Guess this pillow shows what a lot of Harry Potter fans want for Christmas.

Yes, we all want our Hogwarts letter so we can go to that wizarding school to learn magic. But it’s also a pretty dangerous place compared to most Muggle schools.

64. How about grace your magical Christmas tree with some wizarding correspondence?

Consists of a Ministry of Magic flyer, Harry’s letter from Hogwarts, the Marauder’s Map, and a Malfada Hopkirk letter. The last one I had to look up.

65. Merry Christmas courtesy of the Marauder’s Map.

Well, at least the Marauders know how to get into the holiday spirit. Though this card can use some more decoration.

66. Hope you have a Merry Christmas that’s stronger than death.

After all, this is a card that features a Deathly Hallows Christmas tree. If you’ve read all the books, you should know what it stands for.

67. Don’t forget to wish your Muggle loved ones a merry Christmas.

After all, Muggles are people, too, you know. They just can’t do any magic.

68. At Hogwarts, it’s usually Hagrid who has to play Santa.

After all, he’s half-giant and the biggest guy at Hogwarts. Like how he has Fang in reindeer antlers and a Santa hat.

69. These engraved ornaments will help you show your Hogwarts pride.

Aside from the Hogwarts one, each represents a House. But be careful with them.

70. This Harry Potter ornament display will surely bring out the magic.

However, I’m not sure if this is doable at home. But it’s a great Christmas display so it goes on this post.

71. Show your Hogwarts pride with this ugly Christmas sweater.

It’s maroon in order to look more official. But simply something Dumbledore would approve of.

72. This ugly Christmas sweater really has the Harry Potter magic.

Yes, there are a lot of Harry Potter ugly Christmas sweaters out there. This one has the basic symbols covered.

73. Anyone would be greatly enchanted with this gingerbread Hogwarts.

It even lights up from the inside. Still, certainly seems more realistic than some. Amazing.

74. Remember, the cupboard under the stairs is only used for hiding Christmas presents.

Not as a room for an orphaned nephew you hate, as the Dursleys learned the hard way. Yeah, that’s pretty awful.

75. As Dumbledore said, turning on Christmas lights can go a long way.

Okay, Dumbledore didn’t quite say that in the books. But you get the idea.

76. Remember, Dobby always appreciates getting Christmas cards.

Okay, I don’t think the Malfoys would give Dobby a Christmas card. But this is adorable.

77. Hope you can wish Merry Christmas to even a filthy Muggle.

Don’t worry, Muggles, that’s just a term of endearment in the wizarding world. Still, I think it’s funny.

78. Merry Christmas and turn to page 394 courtesy of Snape.

You have to hear this in Alan Rickman’s voice from the movies to get it. The way he says it is just golden.

79. This Christmas tree skirt is ideal for any Gryffindor common room.

Well, it’s more Harry Potter. But since he’s in Gryffindor, it’s red and gold.

80. Perhaps you can hang one of these Hogwarts stockings on your fireplace.

Aside from the black Hogwarts one, each stocking represents a house. Choose the one that suits you best.

81. This Hogwarts Christmas sweater is sure to delight in its vibrant colors.

This one consists of vibrant sleeves that are striped with black, blue, red, green, and yellow. They represent the Hogwarts houses.

82. Snape always believes in Santa.

I’m not sure if he even does because I have a hard time picturing it. But this is a good card.

83. Always wish a happy Christmas to S.P.E.W.

In Harry Potter, S.P.E.W. stands for Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. Hermione started it as a way to help house elves though she didn’t know what she was getting into at the time.

84. When in Hogsmeade, you can’t celebrate the holiday season without butterbeer.

Yes, I don’t get the thing about butterbeer in Harry Potter. But this shirt is surely in the Christmas spirit.

85. Hope you like to see Moaning Myrtle on toilet seat this Christmas.

My guess is that she doesn’t really mean, “wand” here. Still, she’s a teenage ghost, what do you expect?

86. Guess this Christmas tree really brings out the Hogwarts spirit.

I think this one was featured in a British news website. Was said to get a lot of buzz. Like how they used the house colors.

87. Nothing brings the Christmas spirit like hanging these Harry Potter ornaments on your tree.

This is a rare set that might’ve came out before the movies. As the illustrations indicate.

88. Nobody should celebrate Christmas without a tree of Snape.

Yes, there are a lot of huge Snape fans out there. But this one really takes the cake. Yeah, not sure if Snape really shows the Christmas spirit.

89. Celebrate the holiday season with this magically ugly Harry Potter Christmas sweater.

You can understand there aren’t a lot of limits to how many Harry Potter ugly sweaters there are. But this one is in a rich red with the Deathly Hallows mark.

90. If you like Mrs. Weasley, perhaps grace this sweater ornament on her tree.

Because her sweater is simply amazing. Just have to love the colors on those sleeves.

91. Don’t worry, this stag patronus stocking will protect you over the holidays.

After all, we all know it’s Harry’s patronus. Should keep the Dementors from sucking out your soul.

92. Hope this Harry Potter sweater puts you in a Christmas mood.

Yet, another ugly Christmas sweater. There just seems no stop to it.

93. Dumbledore believes you can never have enough socks.

Well, Dumbledore can seem like an eccentric old guy at first. But he’s not one to be messed with.

94. Choose your crocheted house tree skirt wisely.

Does each house Christmas tree have their own unique tree skirt? Not sure if I’d want to know that.

95. A Harry Potter tree like this is simply golden.

Well, this one has lightning bolts and Quidditch hoops on it. There are even some golden snitches, too.

96. All these ornaments bear the mark of the Deathly Hallows.

And they’re all in a variety of different colors. Must be for Xenophilius Lovegood’s Christmas tree.

97. Each of these ornaments come in one of its house colors.

And there seem to be about 2 for each color and 12 in total. Do I need to tell you which house each one belongs to?

98. Hang these ornaments on your tree of Harry Potter and his friends.

These baubles depict Harry, Ron, and Hermione on broomsticks. Got to love these.

99. How about a stocking like this for a magical Christmas?

Like the ornament set, this too, might’ve been around before the movies came out. But it certainly fits the magical mood to say the least.

100. Looks like the Hogwarts Express pulled in for the holidays.

Sure it’s just the train station at Hogwarts. But it’s certainly a delightful design. I’ll take it.

Set Phasers to a Star Trek Christmas

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 3, 2016

While I like to do later editions to different posts during the holiday season, I also like to do posts of something new. For this year, I plan to do certain themed Christmas stuff sort of like a Merry Geekmas if you will. Last year, I did a Star Wars Christmas post since they had a new movie coming out called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I didn’t want to put that idea to waste. After all, I already did my other Star Wars posts in November which I called Nerdvember since I also did Hunger Games stuff, too. So this year, I decided to do Christmas with other large geek franchises but I will start with one of the oldest and biggest sci-fi fanbases of all time: Star Trek. After all, they had a new movie come out in July which I watched in theaters by the way for my dad’s birthday as well as just celebrated their 50th anniversary in September. Besides, my family and I just got done with watching Deep Space Nine on Netflix which is a must see. So if you want to Trek the Halls, this post may come in handy for you. So for your reading pleasure, I give you some things that will help you have a merry Trekmas in your little part of the galaxy.

You can’t go out in the Alpha Quadrant this holiday season without a blue Christmas sweater of the Enterprise.

As you can see, wear this if you want to make it snow. Contains the Enterprise and Starfleet insignia.

2. Even on Christmas, it’s best not to wear a red shirt in Starfleet.

Because if you watched the original series, you should know what happens to Starfleet personnel wearing red who get beamed down to the planet. And no, I’m not including Scotty or Uhura.

3. As Captain Kirk said, one of the best advantages to being a Starfleet captain is having to ask for advice without being obliged to take it.

Of course, he doesn’t seem to take advice about abstaining from sex with alien women once in awhile. Seriously, Jim, I have no idea why he doesn’t get any interplanetary STDs. Guess Dr. McCoy must have a great medicine cabinet replicator.

4. Top your Christmas tree this year with a star of the Enterprise.

Because there’s no ship that’s as iconic as this. Despite how much crap it goes through on a regular basis.

5. May you live long and prosper this holiday season.

After all, it’s the most logical thing to say to your friends and family during the Christmas season. And Mr. Spock ought to know.

6. Seems like Mr. Spock has received a very special Christmas present.

And what do you know, a box of tribbles. Yes, the Enterprise is in for a crazy Christmas season with these furry pests that breed faster than rabbits.

7. Merry Christmas by a Borg assimilated Captain Jean Luc Picard.

Sure he looks pretty cute in that Santa hat. But come on, Picard wasn’t himself while he was assimilated. And he inadvertently caused Mrs. Sisko’s death in the process.

8. Grace your Christmas tree with a Hallmark Keepsake ornament commemorating “Devil in the Dark.”

Because nothing says Christmas by having to deal with the Horta creature that killed 50 miners on Janus VI. Spock must have his work cut out for him.

9. Nothing says “Trek the Halls” on Christmas like this red shirt.

This one has Spock on it in a Santa hat. Not sure if Spock would find it highly illogical.

10. No Trekkie girl should ever celebrate Christmas without wearing these earrings.

This pair consists of red green Starfleet insignia. Great for a December Star Trek convention in your hometown.

11. On this box, Spock finds himself in a winter wonderland.

Yet, he’s standing up from a chair. Must be in an Enterprise holosuite if you ask me.

12. On the Enterprise, Captain Kirk decorates his own Christmas tree.

We see him here decking his tree with silver trees. Of course, he tends to make a mess.

13. If you liked Star Trek: TNG, you’ll love these holiday gingerbread cookies.

Has all the main characters from the cast. Of course, you couldn’t care less about half of them.

14. Celebrate the holiday season with this Star Trek nativity scene.

This one has a lot of the stuff that pays tribute to Star Trek. Even features the Enterprise as well as Evil Kirk and Spock.

15. Of course, when Kirk and Spock contact reindeer, they set phasers to stun.

Hey, at least they didn’t come into contact with Santa Claus. Because that would’ve been bad.

16. You can’t say “Merry Trekmas” without felt Starfleet shirt ornaments.

Consists of gold, blue, and yellow. Guess which one means an early death. Yes, it’s the red one.

17. This Star Trek Christmas tree is everything a Trekkie could want.

This one has a topper of Starfleet insigina. And I guess its ornaments are the planets they visit.

18. You can never find a such a festive Starfleet approved Christmas sweater than these.

Yes, I know these are quite hideous. But that’s the thing with ugly Christmas sweaters. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be logical.

19. This Next Generation wreath will keep your Christmas fully engaged.

This one has Star Trek action figures as well as spacecraft. It even has a gold star in the middle.

20. Nobody is ever safe this Christmas from the dreaded Wreath of Khan.

After all, you just can’t have a Star Trek Christmas without it. But we have to admit that Khan is a very bad guy. Still, this is funny.

21. Apparently, Mr. Spock doesn’t understand Christmas trees or Christmas carols.

Yes, Mr. Spock, I know such celebrations are highly illogical to you. But that’s what humans have done for Christmas since like the mid-1800s. In Germany, it was earlier.

22. Make it a winter wonderland with these Star Trek snowflakes.

This one has Star Trek insignia for each dector on the ship. Have to love the designs here.

This one has Star Trek insignia for each sector on the ship. Have to love the designs here.

23. If you love Trekmas, you have to get a load of the Enterprise in lights.

Now this had to be made by someone with way too much time on their hands. Seriously, this is just highly illogical to me.

24. How about a Christmas sweater with Captain Kirk, Spock, and Dr. McCoy?

Even better is how they’re all wearing Santa hats to get in the Christmas spirit. But it’s a must have for any Trekkie.

25. Be engaged this Christmas with this gingerbread Enterprise.

What baffles me about this work is how they got the Enterprise to stand like that. Still, like how they use a candy cane beam. This is great.

26. A Christmas wreath like this will sure make an impression in the Alpha Quadrant.

This one combines most of the Star Trek series. And yes, this one does contain the Vulcan hand sign.

This one combines all of the Star Trek series. And yes, this one does contain the Vulcan hand sign. Even has tribbles in the middle.

27. Wish your friends and family “Merry Trekmas” with this holiday card.

This one even has Starfleet insignia of Christmas tree decorated with ornaments. Love it.

28. As a Klingon would say, today is a good day to die.

Not sure if it's something I'd want on a Christmas tree. But it's in the Klingnon spirit of things.

Not sure if it’s something I’d want on a Christmas tree. But it’s in the Klingon spirit of things.

29. Odo always investigates Quark.

Let’s hope Odo doesn’t see what Quark gave him for Christmas. Also, why don’t they have a lot of DS9 Christmas stuff out there? I mean it was a great series for God’s sake.

30. Of course, you’ll find a lot of tribbles in this Star Trek ornament.

After all, tribbles must be easy creatures to make. Yet, though they may be cute puff balls, they can become a nightmare, especially to Klingnons.

31. As Captain Picard would say this holiday season, “Make it snow.”

And believe me, there are a lot of Christmas cards that have him say this. This is the one I liked the best.

32. Klingnon women hurl heavy objects, Klingon men read poetry and duck a lot.

And yes, Klingnon women can be just as fierce as the men. Worf would know that better than anyone.

And yes, Klingon women can be just as fierce as the men. Worf would know that better than anyone.

33. Mr. Spock wishes you live long and prosper this Christmas.

Yes, I know I included it on a Christmas sweater already. But I couldn’t resist putting this card on the post.

34. Seems like Santa has come to help the Enterprise this season.

And this one shows that Santa’s reindeer might be distinct lifeforms altogether. Wonder what happened to the Enterprise to get in this situation.

35. Relive your favorite Kirk and Spock memories with this Christmas sweater vest.

Has ornaments of Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise on a Christmas tree. Hope it helps the wearer to live long and prosper.

36. For Spock Christmas is always live long and presents.

After all, Christmas is a time for presents. Still, this one is quite cute.

After all, Christmas is a time for presents, logically speaking. Still, this one is quite cute.

37. Now you can have an ugly Christmas sweater of the Enterprise in 3 different colors.

Available in red, green, and white. The white one has a red and green design. Still, you know what happens if you get the red one.

38. This Christmas Captain Picard consults the Captain’s Yule Log.

And it seems like his yule log is a Hostess Ho Ho. Okay, let the Captain have his treat, shall we?

39. Wish your loved one a “Merry Trekmas” with these cards.

Consists of a Klingnon Christmas tree, Santa hat Starfleet insignia, and a Starlfeet insignia pulled by reindeer. A very Trekkie way to wish your loved ones well.

Consists of a Klingon Christmas tree, Santa hat Starfleet insignia, and a Starlfeet insignia pulled by reindeer. A very Trekkie way to wish your loved ones well.

40. Nothing makes your Trekmas tree complete like a Star Trek tree skirt.

This one has all the spacecraft and insignia related to the shows. For a Trekkie to resist this one is futile.

41. These TNG insignia baubles come glittering on your tree.

Come in 4 different types as you see here. Consists of gold, blue, teal, and red.

42. As this ugly Christmas sweater says, “Trek yourself before you wreck yourself!”

This one even features Spock with a Santa hat. Like silver tinsel trimmings, too.

43. Santa receives a letter and present from Captain James T. Kirk of the Enterprise.

Unfortunately, Santa received a ton of tribbles and a request not to send the Enterpise any. And you can’t argue with Jim on this one. But poor Santa.

44. Fans of Worf will surely appreciate this Christmas sweater.

Sure it may say "Merry Christmas" in Klingnon. But Worf is not a merry man.

Sure it may say “Merry Christmas” in Klingon. But Worf is not a merry man.

45. Send your loved ones these Star Trek cards this Christmas to Trek the halls.

This set is from the original series. Like the one depicting Dr. McCoy as Santa. Since he makes one grumpy St. Nick.

46. Grace your Christmas tree this year with this Borg cube ornament.

Because nothing says Christmas like a cube that’s home to a race that assimilates people into their ranks and tries to destroy everything. Seriously, the Borg are among the most vile Star Trek bad guys for a reason.

47. Those who wish to celebrate Khristmas as the original Klingons did may enjoy this book.

This is a parody of how Klingnons celebrate Christmas. And yes, it includes bad kids receiving tribbles from Santa instead of coal.

This is a parody of how Klingons celebrate Christmas. And yes, it includes bad kids receiving tribbles from Santa instead of coal.

48. “O, Trekkie tree, O, Trekkie tree…”

Yes, this is the ultimate Trekkie Christmas tree for any fan. Even has a star of the Enterprise on top.

49. Nothing makes Trekmas memorable like these Starfleet raven ornaments.

I know this is a highly illogical Star Trek Christmas decoration. No, I don’t see the meaning behind these either.

50. Make Trekmas yours by hanging a stocking of the Enterprise.

Yes, they actually have this. Hope you can get gifts like Klingon weapons or a book of Vulcan mind tricks.

51. As we all know, Santa always tries to merrily go where no man has gone before.

Here’s Santa wearing outfits that correspond with a Star Trek series. The last one is Santa DS9.

52. The red shirt gingerbread man always gets eaten first.

Because we all know the drill on the original series. Gold shirt, blue shirt. red shirt, dead shirt.

53. Looks like Captain Kirk got a very special Christmas present.

And what do you know? A new captain’s shirt. At any rate, he surely needed it. Since a lot of his get ripped apart all the time.

54. Merry Christmas from Kirk, Spock, and Snow Bones.

This is a clay sculpture. There’s Kirk as Santa and Spock as an elf. But to make Dr. McCoy a snowman? Jesus.

55. Always wish happy holidays from Star Trek with this keepsake box.

This has the Enterprise as well as a bauble as a planet. The bauble is also seen in different colors like the planet that’s usually featured.

56. Once again, it’s fair to say that red shirt gingerbread cookies don’t have a happy holidays.

This one has a leg off to its dismay. Yeah, red shirts on Star Trek don’t come to a good end.

57. Have a Merry Trekmas courtesy of Starfleet.

This one has a green Starfleet insignia with a candy cane border. Hope it’s minty fresh.

58. We should also understand that red shirt snowmen don’t fare so well either.

The red snowman is already melting by this point. Perhaps because it was neutralized by a heat laser.

59. Merry Christmas from the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Academy.

After all, though the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Academy tries to respect the traditions of all planets, they usually let everyone have Christmas break off. Because, well, humans.

60. Remember, Starfleet officers, use the stocking that goes with your uniform.

If the original series was a guide, my guess is you wouldn’t want the red one. Though it’s the most Christmasy out of the 3.

61. Not to fear for TNG Christmas cards are here.

Once again, there’s one for each character. Nevertheless, I’m kind of disappointed that they didn’t include one of Miles O’Brien or anyone else from DS9 sans Worf.

62. Nothing makes a Star Trek Christmas like this set of lights.

These have Starfleet insignia on the front and Kirk or Spock’s face on the back. A must have for any Starfleet captain or science officer.

63. As a Christmas tree topper, angel Spock is a most logical choice.

However, it’s all nice until you think about how Spock died of radiation poisoning in The Wrath of Khan. Then it’s kind of disturbing.

64. Fans of the original Star Trek will enjoy this disc light set for their tree.

Features Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and Sulu. But a must have for any Trekkie.

Features Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy, and Sulu. But a must have for any Trekkie.

65. Celebrate Christmas the logical way with this Spock hat.

Note that it’s blue with pointy ears since Spock is a Vulcan science officer. Still, a great Trek twist of the season.

66. This Christmas tree features Starfleet’s finest.

This one features Hallmark keepsake ornaments of your favorite Star Trek characters. Also, includes the ships.

67. Keep warm this holiday season in the galaxy with these ugly Star Trek leggings.

It’s sure to match with any Star Trek ugly Christmas sweater. Great for withstanding the cold in the vastness of space.

68. Nobody could ever escape the Wreath of Khan.

Yes, I put up a wreath of Khan before. But this one is in Christmas card form, which I couldn’t resist.

69. The Enterprise Project wishes you Seasons’ Greetings to boldly go into a new year.

Well, this is a real Christmas card from the Enterprise Project. I’m not sure what it is exactly.

70. Merry Christmas from Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.

Okay, this is kind of disturbing and may push the envelope. And it’s not because Kirk’s Santa and has his chest bared for all to see.

71. Not sure if this Christmas can relieve Kirk of all his tribbles.

I have to admit, this is a great ornament. Love the look on Kirk’s face when surrounded by these little fur balls.

72. The Worfs would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Tragically, the Worfs’ domestic happiness wasn’t destined to last long. Because K’Ehleyr would later die and his son would later be sent away to his family on Earth. Their relationship hasn’t been the greatest. Sure he later marries Jadzia Dax but she dies, too.

73. Now you can have your own wreath of Khan on your Christmas tree.

I can go on with this wreath of Khan stuff all day. After all, that phrase is just in the Trek spirit of the season.

74. Unfortunately, Santa Claus wouldn’t last long in the the original series.

For unless you’re Scotty, there’s a chance you probably won’t last long. Santa learned the hard way.

75. These wooden Star Trek ornaments will be a welcome addition to your tree.

Each of these feature stuff pertaining to Star Trek like the Enterprise and the Vulcan hand sing. Made by someone with possibly too much time on their hands.

76. Now you can hang your Starfleet approved stocking near the fireplace.

This one has Starfleet insignia on it. Yet, it’s possible Star Trek crews hang their stockings above the fireplace in holosuites.

77. Fans of the newer Star Trek movies will want these ornaments for their tree.

These are kind of weird looking if you ask me. I mean each of them has a head that’s bigger than their bodies. Don’t ask me why they exist.

78. Fans of Deep Space Nine might enjoy these Hallmark Keepsake ornaments.

Yes, they have an ornament of DS9. Kind of wish they had more of the characters besides Worf and Sisko. Besides, Quark would see Christmas as a great opportunity for profit.

79. When far and wide this Christmas, this communicator ornament comes in handy.

Okay, it probably doesn’t work. But they’re so iconic that I couldn’t do a Star Trek Christmas post without featuring it.

80. Dr. McCoy thinks Spock is out of his Vulcan mind.

To be fair, McCoy and Spock may clash from time to time. But they actually do care about each other. This is great though.

81. Fans of the original series just have to put a green girl ornament on their tree.

For nothing keeps the spirit of the season like a seductive green girl Kirk can’t resist. This is more so in the reboot movies.

82. Worf knows that only fools have no fear.

After all, fear is sometimes a rational response to danger. Those without it are those to avoid. Worf knows this.

83. Garak is only a plain and simple tailor on DS9.

Once you get to know Garak you realize he’s not so plain and not so simple. He’s also quite morally ambiguous but friendly.

84. Guess anyone would want a stocking like this aboard the Enterprise.

This one features Picard as Santa and LaForge with reindeer antlers. Guess they had a Christmas party before someone attacked them.

85. According to the Borg, you will be assimilated.

Just what I’d like to put on a Christmas tree. Nothing says Christmas like being assumed into an evil android race.

86. Bones always knows when a man is dead.

This is especially the case with red shirts. And explains why this ornament pillow is red.

87. Odo sometimes oozes around the room.

I know what you’re thinking. But please, understand that Odo’s as shapeshifter who sometimes had to sleep in a bucket early on DS9.

88. If you like Star Trek, then you’ll just love these engraved glass ornaments.

As we all know glass is delicate. But still includes critical Star Trek insignia along with the Enterprise.

89. Celebrate Star Trek’s 5oth anniversary this Christmas with this golden Enterprise ornament.

Yes, 2016 is Star Trek’s golden anniversary year. But even this defies Spock’s Vulcan logic.

90. Spock always relies on logic to solve problems.

Well, he always tries to eliminate the impossible to get to the truth. Sometimes that’s logic for you, especially in murder mysteries.

91. With this Christmas sweater, you can give everyone a Vulcan hand sign.

Sure it may say, “Live long and prosper.” And it’s possible your relatives may not get it. But it happens.

92. As we all know, Captain always anticipates winter weather this holiday season.

As we all know, it is he who usually says, “Make it snow.” And here he is holding a snowflake.

93. A Spock stocking is usually a logical place for Santa to put presents.

Yes, they have these, too, with Spock’s famous catchphrase. I mean he’s a very popular character which is fascinating.

94. Having a Spock tree topper star always makes logical sense.

This is especially the case when it comes to honoring the late Leonard Nimoy. He’s surely missed.

95. This green Trekkie Christmas sweater is coming in at warp drive.

There’s also a red one and a light green one, too. But I decided not to use the former for obvious reasons.

96. This Starfleet ornament will help you Trek the halls with boughs of holly.

Speaking of holly, this even includes boughs of holly. Yet, the logo is in red and green in the spirit of the holidays.

97. Keep cozy this Christmas with these Star Trek holiday sweaters.

Because you always need to keep warm when in the coldness of space. This is so even with the best galactic heating systems.

98. Even Captain Kirk has his ugly Christmas sweater.

After all, he is the captain of the Enterprise in the original series. So that has to count for something.

99. A Picard holiday sweater will always make it snow.

For he’s a very avid fan of winter. Even though he’ll have to experience snow at some winter planet or a holosuite.

100. There’s nothing in the Trekmas season like a green ugly sweater like this one.

This includes the Enterprise, Starfleet insignia, a Christmas tree, snowflakes, and a row of red shirts. A great sweater for Trekkies everywhere.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas with These Village Houses (Second Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 2, 2016

74c6e4e6be54c68936ba748cc9e5f890

Last year, I did a post on Christmas villages and houses. Since long ago, so many people have engaged in this tradition that you’ll find companies selling Christmas houses for the season. Hell, many sell houses for Halloween and Easter villages as well. Nevertheless, this practice can be very expensive as you see in the image above. Yet, there are plenty of people who make their own Christmas village houses as I’ve seen on Pinterest. Sometimes they can be in pastel colors with a vintage look to them. Sometimes this isn’t the case. Yet, since I had a lot of Christmas village house pictures left over, I thought it would be best to use some of them for another post for this year. So for your yuletide reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Christmas village houses. Hope you enjoy these.

A small cottage always can use some Christmas trees.

This one even has a snowman. Yet, I think the tree on the right stands out more in this display.

2. Sometimes a house always has to have a snowed roof and a wreath.

This one is in blue, red, and white. Doesn’t have as flashy decor as the other one, but it’s quaint.

3. A shiny new bell always helps deck the halls on this church.

Nice that it has Christmas decorations at the base and a red roof. Love this.

4. It doesn’t matter where you stack the Christmas houses on the shelf.

Since it makes a colorful village display anyway. Doesn’t hurt if you have funky colored Christmas trees.

5. A simple white Christmas house can always do with some greenery.

After all, add a garland and wreath and it’s already in the Christmas spirit. Helps if there’s a light from the window.

6. A red house doesn’t need much to deck the halls.

Just snow on the roof, evergreen trees, and a wreath can put it in the Christmas spirit. It’s as simple as that.

7. How about some candy cane trimming?

This one certainly has it around the roof. However, I could easily tell this is made from styrofoam.

8. To make it more Christmasy, use red lights.

It seems to work with this one. Then again, it might have red paper behind the windows to make it look red.

9. A Christmas church always has to have an angel in front of it.

Because a miniature nativity scene may not be possible if it’s DIY. Too many small pieces. Yet, this is lovely.

10. When in doubt, go with glitter.

This one certainly does, and gold glitter, too. Goes well with the decor on this.

11. A blue house can always get one in a winter mood.

This one doesn’t use a lot of decorations either. Well, save for Christmas trees and a reindeer in front.

12. A towering tree display can always use a few houses.

Yes, this is a tall Christmas tree village display. And yes, houses are on each of the snow patches. All in all, it’s probably made by someone with too much time on their hands.

13. White and silver are always great on a fancy house.

Doesn’t hurt that it’s trimmed with glitter and has a porch. Love it.

14. Red and green makes this church a sight to be seen.

This one even has a gold ornament as a bell on the steeple. Like the wreath and trees.

15. A pink house can always use a few extra trimmings.

As you can see, this one has a present, Christmas trees, and a garland with a flower on it. Not sure what to think about the tower.

16. Sometimes some little jingles can go a long way.

This one doesn’t use much decoration. Yet, it’s somewhat in the Christmas spirit in its simplicity.

17. A Christmas house always needs to sparkle.

This one has a glittery roof as well as other Christmas decor. Got to love the white reindeer in the front.

18. Even a Christmas church has to be in the spirit of things.

This one even has gold wreath and trees. Still, like the top beaded cross on this one.

19. A Christmas church always has to have a warm winter glow.

This one has a warm glow through the windows. And it doesn’t use a lot of snow on the roofs.

20. You never know what kind of Christmas magic you’ll have in a cabinet shelf.

This display has a very vibrant village with houses and trees. Love how it lights up like its own winter wonderland.

21. Light green and pink make a great Christmas cottage.

Then again, that’s all a matter of opinion. But I do think this house is quite nice regardless.

22. Bejeweled decorations can make the holiday season right.

This one uses a couple pendants on the front to bring out the winter sparkle. Love the one near the roof the best.

23. Even a barn should be decorated to celebrate the season.

This one has a wreath and trees. Love the snow on the roof and the silo.

24. Looks like there’s smoke coming from this Christmas house.

Well, it sure seems like it and it’s sparkly, too. Still, I think the smoke part of this house is kind of ingenious if you ask me.

25. A pink and blue house has its own unique Christmas charm.

Or is it in a shade of light green? Either way, you have to admire the towers and decor.

26. A small green Christmas cottage can be just as quaint.

And this one has a snowman, a star, and 2 golden trees. Can’t help but like this one.

27. A simple blue cottage can always be decked to celebrate the season.

This one has a gold glitter roof and white icicles. Love the little snowman in front, too.

28. A pink jeweled church can always stand out on any holy night.

This one also uses jewelry decorations like the last house. Nevertheless, it’s quite a beauty.

29. Sometimes a simple house is all you need.

This one only has a single golden Christmas tree. Other than that, almost looks like a normal house.

30. Sometimes golden Christmas trees should be topped with silver snowflakes.

Well, this church is sure in the yuletide spirit. It even has a silver bell in its tower.

31. This yellow house makes winter merry and bright.

This one has a nice sunny disposition with its orange snow capped roof. Love the tree and snowman in front.

32. You haven’t seen nothing like a Christmas village in a cabinet space.

There are even some houses behind the glass doors. All in all, it’s a wondrous holiday display.

33. This pink house will certainly perk up the holiday spirit.

This one has bejeweled decorations and a rosy garland. Sure it’s pink and girly, but I like it.

34. If you don’t have enough fluff for snow, white table cloths will do.

This display even has small artificial trees in the background. You have to admire how creative this is.

35. A house isn’t in the Christmas spirit if it’s not red and green.

This one has a snow covered roof and evergreens in the corners. Love the wreath on the front door.

36. Think of the wonders you can do with a simple wooden stepladder.

Yes, this is a Christmas village built on a stepladder. And it’s even decorated with lights for an extra Christmas touch.

37. The more outlandish a Christmas house is the better.

This one seems like it would belong in Whoville. But you can’t hate the festive patterns.

38. Sometimes a Christmas church can have a brown rustic touch.

Well, this must be the plainest church I’ve put on this post so far. Got to like the reindeer in front.

39. Gold is all that glitters on this Christmas house.

This one even has a golden wreath, roof, and reindeer. Still, what’s not to love?

40. Who can it be on the house top here?

Why, it’s Santa and his sleigh? Not sure if he has 8-9 reindeer on it. But I’ll include it.

41. Sometimes a Christmas village can gather around on one Christmas tree.

This one has small houses on the tree while bigger homes are on the bottom. At any rate, love this.

42. Even a small cottage can contain just enough Christmas spirit.

It helps that it has decorations that go with its color. Like the 2 chimneys and snow roof.

And yet, another Christmas village arrangement that seems a bit crowded. But I have to love the trees in the background.

It even has Christmas trees and a shiny silver garland. What’s more about this one to love?

49. You never know what kind of Christmas village you’ll find near a Christmas tree.

And this one is no exception. Doesn’t have the wintry feel. But that’s beside the point.

51. This house will bring you warmth in any winter wonderland.

This one has a rather simple style with a snow capped roof. Love the decor on the bottom though.

52. Seems like this green house brings on the yuletide cheer.

53. A Christmas house like this has a wondrous balcony.

54. You can easily see a house like this at the North Pole.

62. This blue Christmas church seems straight from a midnight clear.

Well, at one point it doesn’t seem bigger from the other churches. Yet, it still has quite the impression.

63. You can make a wondrous Christmas village from a white step ladder.

This even fancier than the other stepladder display. Even has lights and garland on it.

64. These village buildings are just as white as they’re golden.

Each of them is white with golden decor. Like the golden wreath on the church.

65. This pink Christmas house has quite a tree in the back.

Seems like it’s being decorated with ornaments galore. And the tree is almost as big as the house.

71. Check out the baubles on this red cottage.

This one even has a jewel on the other for a star. Not sure what to think about the snowman though.

72. Sometimes simple trees are for simple houses.

Okay, this house may not be very simple since it has 2 chimneys. Bit its trees are since they only have red ornaments.

73. This little green house has a lot of quaintness to it.

This is quite lovely in its own way. Not too fancy. But with just enough whimsy.

74. Sometimes all a Christmas house needs is a golden front.

Well, not quite golden but close enough. Still, the Christmas trees here are stunning.

This one doesn’t have much on it. But the trees and deer give it a Christmas touch.

Well, architecture during that time period wasn’t the greatest. But this isn’t too bad. Love the windows.

Not So Great Tidings of Not Much Comfort and Joy Christmas Gift List (Second Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 1, 2016

635861698837468427-2074246347_2

Of course, it’s always the gift giving that has made Christmas the kind of commercialized holiday it is today that many companies advertise their Christmas stuff as soon as Halloween is over. For some it’s even earlier than that. Now that Christmas shopping is well underway, I feel is a great time to discuss presents. Of course, other than wanting someone other than Donald Trump in the White House (which I know isn’t going to happen) and better blog earnings from WordPress, I haven’t given much thought to what I want this year. And I understand we all have people in our lives who are so hard to buy for that it’s nuts sometimes. Last year, I did a Christmas gift post that was late in the holiday season. However, though it’s may often be difficult on what to get for a special someone for Christmas, it’s easy to decide what not to get them. This is where I came in last year and do so again. Now like last year, the gifts I’m talking about don’t much pertain to traditional bad gifts like neckties, lotions, advice books, and bathroom scales. No, I’m going with much more crazier stuff than that. Like stuff the people in your life didn’t know they didn’t want. Or the hilarious gifts that don’t seem very funny to those who received them. So for your reading pleasure and gift giving caution, I give you another assortment of Christmas gifts no one dare wish to receive.

Pizza Slice Sleeping Bag

I’m sure anyone who loves the great outdoors would want to sleep on a slice of pizza with plush toppings of broccoli, mushrooms, and olives. Available on Etsy for $200.

2. Baked Potato Beanbag Chair

Because who doesn’t dream about being inside a steaming hot mass of starch, sour cream, and chives. Includes butter pillow. Also available on Etsy for $200.

3. Avenging Narwhal Playset

According the the product description, “The narwhal is an arctic-dwelling whale that has been called ”the unicorn of the sea” due to its long pointy tusk. There is debate about the true purpose of this tusk, but finally the truth is revealed! The narwhal uses its tusk to impale the cute animals of the world, specifically baby seals, baby penguins and koalas.” Includes 4 magical tusks and 3 adorable animals to impale. Not sure the koala and baby penguin is included since they usually live in the Canadian Arctic. Besides, it’s only the males sport the iconic tusks.

4. Lung Ashtray

There’s nothing like a lung ashtray to remind the smoker in your life that they’re making themselves susceptible to respiratory disease. Perhaps stick to Nicorette gum instead.

5. Keurig Wine Dispenser

Because shouldn’t that special someone in your life get their wine like they get their coffee? Also, box of wine is so overrated.

6. Steering Wheel Workstation Tray

Because no gift says, “I found something that might help you catch up with work while you’re stuck in traffic” like this. And I’m sure it’s even worse if one receives during the office party.

7. Moxie Girlz Poopsy Pets

These are dolls who have fantasy pets that leave magic poops. There’s at least 6 of them and each pet has a unique poop. I’m not kidding about this.

8. Potty Piano

Want to play foot piano when you’re on the pot? Now you can. Even includes a songbook.

9. Headphone Earmuffs

These not only let you hear music but also keep your ears warm at the same time. As if using earbuds underneath my earmuffs wasn’t a problem for me already.

10. Dog Mustache

From Marie Claire: “Much like photographing infants decorated with fake leaves in flowerpots, the dog moustache is just plain cruel. But hey, this type of torture only costs $10 — those photos of babies in flowerpots are way pricier.”

11. Puppy Love Fragrance

From Marie Claire: “Want to make your friend feel totally worthless this holiday season? Buy her a bottle of perfume…for her dog.” Costs $44. Seriously, dogs don’t need this and don’t want it either. A rawhide bone or squeaky toy is a much better choice.

12. Butter Warmer

From Marie Claire: “Does your giftee need a break from watching paint dry? Now she can watch butter melt…a little faster this holiday season with help from this butter warmer.”

13. Fish Bowl Bookends

From Marie Claire: “We’re not rushing to call PETA about this one, but something about using fish bowls as bookends rubs us the wrong way.” Yeah, like fish bowls shouldn’t be used for bookends.

14. Maxi Pad Christmas Slippers

Because if they can be used to absorb menstrual blood, they should be great on your feet. Excuse me, but this is just in bad taste.

15. Mooning Butt Party Shorts

I understand this is a gag gift. But would anyone want to be caught dead wearing these? Or receiving them? I thought not.

I understand this is a gag gift. But would anyone want to be caught dead wearing these? Or receiving them? I think not.

16. Vinderalls

You guessed it, overalls for wine bottles. Even has a pocket for a special message. As if you can’t just give the bottle with a special message already. This is stupid.

17. Head in a Hole Ostrich Pillow

It’s the kind of pillow that allows you to nap on your desk while on the job. Might be the kind of gift that says, “I hear you don’t get enough sleep and are under a lot of stress.”

18. Bacon Cologne

After all, who can’t resist the smell of greased up meat? Might attract unwanted attention from animals.

19. Bacon Mints

For nothing says minty freshness like smelling like something you ate for breakfast. Honestly, nobody wants their breath to smell like bacon.

20. Bathe and Brew Shower Coffee Maker and Soap Dispenser

Now you can get your morning shower and your coffee at the same time. By the way, it’s actually not a real product.

21. Face/Butt Towel

From Film Jackets: “This one will be particularly helpful for my dad. He often forgets which is the butt side and face side of a towel. My dad should love this, given that he is always paranoid by who used his towel and to whip what.”

22. Cobra Digital Dancing Cat Speaker

Sure a dancing cat speaker might be cute. But c’mon, would you really want a cat dancing to your favorite songs on your mp3 device? No.

23. Choculator

It’s a calculator that resembles a bar of chocolate. I’m sure this gift will spell disappointment for many.

24. Facial Hair Removal for Ladies

The kind of gift that tells a woman that she might be sporting a mustache and should act accordingly. Guys, if you’re planning on giving this to your girlfriend, expect to be dumped.

25. Mind Trainer Toilet Paper Roll

Because why be bored on the pot when you can use it to expand your mind? Seriously, I find this kind of sick.

26. Cold, Cold, Heart 3D Ice Mold

The kind of gift that tells the recipient that their heart is as cold as ice. Best to give enemies who have no power over you or Donald Trump.

27. Defrosty the Snowman Ice Cubes

From Neatorama: “They say Defrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul. With a carrot nose and two eyes made out of coal. He used to call the kids to come laugh and play. Sadly, however, he melted away on some hot winter day. But don’t be sad. Rumors are he will come back some day in a very useful way. Each Defrosty The Snowman Ice Cubes set comes with re-usable ice cubes shaped like lumps of coal and bright orange carrots. They are a wonderful way to commemorate your favorite melted snowman.”

28. Pong Head: The Inflatable Beer Pong Hat Game

The kind of gift that's received by the lowliest frat brother everyone makes fun of. Yes, this is a very dumb product, indeed.

The kind of gift that’s received by the lowliest frat brother everyone makes fun of. Wearer must have great balance and high tolerance for public humiliation. Yes, this is a very dumb product, indeed.

29. Fish Eye Wearable Fish Camera

Let a fish do the fishing for you and it’s great on land, too. This is a actually prank gift that’s making fun of the wildlife cameras they use on nature shows.

30. Netflix and Chill Scented Candle

From Refinery29: “Just like certain potential partners, this candle has no chill.” Not sure what this smells like.

31. Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses

From Refinery29: “Shot glasses you can’t wash? You shouldn’t have!” Let’s just say if you can’t wash glasses, they’re not worth it.

32. Animal Weighing Scale

The gift that not only tells someone they’re fat but also compares them to a barn animal. Talk about adding insult to injuring.

33. Lyfe Tea Bags

From Refinery29: “The only thing the gift of Lyfe Tea says is that you follow too many D-list celebrities on Instagram.” Also costs $55.95 as in “overpriced.”

34. Donald Trump Butter Stamp

From Refinery29: "Not sure what's more offensive: Donald Trump himself or that someone thought this looked remotely like Donald Trump." As if there was a way to make your butter more offensive.

From Refinery29: “Not sure what’s more offensive: Donald Trump himself or that someone thought this looked remotely like Donald Trump.” How about having him as president?

35. Jewelry In A Bottle

From Refinery29: “Which is worse? To have tangled necklaces or to keep this thing on your dresser?” Costs $58, by the way.

36. Sloth Sleep Mask

From Refinery29: “Look, just because a lady loves a good nap, does not make her the world’s laziest mammal who only comes out of her tree to pee.” Or eat if you put it accurately.

37. The Shark Bait Sleeping Bag

From Refinery29: “Tell the tot in your life that he’s as precious as a bucket of chum.” Then again, the kid does seem happy with his shark sleeping bag. But it’s pretty disturbing.

38. Siamese Cat Leggings

From Refinery29: “Nope. We can already spot the cutesy little jokes you’re going to make when you hand this over, and just no. Shut it down. “

39. A Girl’s Guide to Dating a Geek by Omi M. Inouye

From Refinery29: “Ugh. Is this going to be one of those sexist books that assume we don’t sleep with our plush Daleks every night, and have strong opinions about the de-canonization of the Star Wars Expanded Universe?”

40. World’s Okayest Sister T-Shirt

From Refinery29: “So what if she takes three days to answer your texts and never pays you back for brunch? Holidays are a time when families come together and we all pretend we love each other.”

41. The Obsessive Chef Cutting Board

From Refinery29: “I told you to medium chop the onions and dice the shallots, YOU IDIOT. ” Talk about a gift for the obsessive chef.

42. YolkFish Egg Separator

From Refinery29: “Know what we hate worse than egg-white omelets? Watching a gaping-mawed Goldeen slurp up the yolks and barf them out into a separate bowl.”

43. Hand Massager

From Refinery29: “Ladies have always known The Sharper Image was a great source for on-the-low “neck massagers.” Now, it’s guys’ turns, with this gently undulating plastic mitten.” Costs $129.

44. Chewbacca Ladies’ Robe

From Refinery29: “This year, give the gift that says she’s tall, kinda hairy, and it’s not wise to upset her.” Great to go with a Chewbacca mask though.

45. Sexy Santa Lingerie

From Refinery29: "'You remind me of Santa Claus. In a good way.' The question is, what’s more insulting – the fact someone is likening you to Father Christmas, or the fact they finds the resemblance attractive?"

What it says from Refinery29: “‘You remind me of Santa Claus. In a good way.’ The question is, what’s more insulting – the fact someone is likening you to Father Christmas, or the fact they finds the resemblance attractive?”

46. Dr. Phil Painting

What it says according to Refinery29: “‘I give you the gift of eternal daytime TV-tinged nightmares.’ (Subtext: ‘Because I hate you.’)”

47. Bloodbath Shower Curtain

As Refinery29 put it, it says: “I really think we need to get the Bates Motel vibe going on in the bathroom — then we can relive the Psycho shower scene as part of our morning routine!”

48. “Merry Christmas from Heaven” Ornament

From Refinery29: “If someone you know has recently been rocked by the death of a dearly loved one, probably the best thing you can do is gift them with a reminder of their tragic loss. One that dangles darkly from their Christmas tree, inscribed with a poem that’s a heart-jabbing combination of sadness and schmaltz. What better way to cast a bitterly painful pall over the holiday season?”

49. La Newborn Anatomically Correct Real Boy Vinyl Doll

From Refinery29: “This anatomically correct grandpa-baby is the stuff toddler nightmares are made of. Ed Asner, is that you?”

50. Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X Deluxe Kit

From Refinery29: “We love the Tria, but remember what we said about products that are best purchased for oneself? Giving this for the holidays is a heartwarming way to let your loved one know you’ve noticed their unsightly upper-lip problem — and it looks like it can only be solved by lasers.”

51. I Love You More Blanket

From Refinery29: “Finally, a festive throw full of stalker-y sentiments to curl up under while your bunny boils gently on the stove top.” Available at Sky Mall for $69.95.

52. Potato Express Potato Baking Bag

From Refinery29: “Not that there’s anything wrong with a cheery, pepper-red spud sack that promises to create a ‘unique steam packet’ and delivers ‘perfect potatoes in four minutes.’ And holds up to four potatoes. And softens day-old bread, too. It’s just the type of gift that says to your recipient, ‘You look like you’d like to gorge on four potatoes and stale bread — AND QUICK.'”

53. Ultrasonic Hand Moisturizer

From Refinery29: “Hey, giftee! Your cuticles look drier than the Sahara. Here, feed your hands to this monster with dyspepsia.”

54. Working After Retirement For Dummies

From Refinery29: “Nothing like the one-two punch of a gift that simultaneously says, “You’re probably a financial dunce,” and “Don’t count on that 401k, kiddo.” We’d be really, really worried if we got this from our boss.”

55. Kush Support Breast Separator

From Cracked: “Luckily, one plucky mammary researcher is fighting the impending boobocalypse with the Kush Support Breast Separator, a piece of in-no-way-phallic plastic that can be stuck between the breasts to prevent undue contact.” Seriously, a breast separator? Does any woman need that? Thought so.

56. Nose Pencil Sharpener

Now you can sharpen a pencil through the nostril. Guaranteed to freak out people you work or go to school with.

57. Only Fools and Horses Sheepskin Robe

From Telegraph: “This isn’t a sheepskin coat, though that would probably be bad enough. No, this is a dressing gown that looks a little bit like a sheepskin coat. On the plus side, that does mean you won’t be tempted to leave the house in it.”

58. Universal Crocs Mobile Case

From the Telegraph: “Painfully, years after they first became so widely-worn, they’re still going strong. However, if you know someone who willingly wears these on their feet, there should be no reason why they’ll not happily use this to carry their phone around.”

59. Voodoo Doll Toothpick Holder

Great for storing toothpicks and wishing ill on your enemies. Goes great with Voodoo doll pincushion.

60. Quotations from Chairman Trump

From Film Jacket: “You can gift it to any Republican fan, and he will love it until he starts reading it. After that, I can’t guarantee anything. This is the newest rendition of “The Little Red Book” by Chairman Mao and is being termed as “The Little Bad Book” by D.J Trump.”

61. Polluted Glass

From Neatorama: “If you like drinks that are so strong that they’re practically poison, this is the glass for you: Polluted Glass, shaped like a ‘lil 55-gallon drum used by Evil Big Corp to dump their toxic waste.”

62. Santa Willy Wear

Because his Santa Claus only comes out once a year. Seriously, a dick Santa hat?

63. Snake Oil Soap

From Neatoshop: “Let the oil of the cobra cleanse you! The Snake Oil Soap contains real cobra oil and can help clean your skin like a magical elixir which secret is passed down from generations to generations of handwashers. Would we lie to you? ;)” Sorry, but this is probably just either regular soap or soap that has no benefits.

64. Switchblade Folding Pocket Comb

From Neatorama: “Do you secretly wish you were a rebel with perfectly slicked back hair? Recapture the wild youth you never had with the Switchblade Folding Pocket Comb from the NeatoShop! Pretending to be a delinquent has never been so fun!”

65. The Moon Ring

From Film Jacket: “And behold the gift I have chosen to give to my old man. Just to make him admit that there are not only bad but worst Christmas gifts too. Despite what the name suggests it is not a ring, it just farts as soon as you open it. Making you feel embarrassed in front of the whole family. I have this moon ring all packed very decorously, and I will present it to him as humbly I can. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he opens it.”

66. Traxedo

From Divine Secrets of A Domestic Diva: “Do you have a guy in your life that never wants to sacrifice comfort for fashion? Does he prefer sweats to suits and you just want to see him get a little dressier from time to time? Well, wait no longer because compromise has never been more comfortable with the Traxedo! That’s right, the Traxedo is the offspring of combining the dressy look of a tux and the comfort of a track suit! Available in powder blue, red, black, green and orange!”

67. Turbospoke Bicycle Exhaust System

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “Turn your man’s regular bike into something that looks and sounds like a real motorcycle!

68. Universal Remote Control Pillow

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: ” Do you know a guy who is always losing the remote? With this giant universal remote that doubles as a pillow, he’ll have a hard time misplacing it when it’s under his head!”

69. Washing Machine Exercise Bike

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: ” I can’t imagine the bravery it would take to present a woman, your mother or the mother of your children no less, this exercise bike that doubles as a washing machine. Personally, the only thing I loathe more than exercising is doing the laundry. Approach this gift idea with extreme caution.”

70. Therassage Portal Infared Sauna

From Slap Dash Mom: “Wow! Save $55.00! It’s ONLY $545.00! I don’t know how I will ever contain myself.” Seriously, that makes someone look like a walking tent.

71. Cat Butt Magnet Set

From Slap Dash Mom: “For $9.69 you can give someone butts. Sweet! So maybe, just maybe, if you know someone with a really messed up and twisted sense of humor (like myself), this could be considered a good gift. I think it’s one I’d like to give to someone that really hates cats. Double Whammy!”

72. Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row by Ty Treadwell and Michelle Vernon

Because there’s nothing that brings in the spirit of the holidays like reading about what death row inmates ate just before their execution. That’s disturbing.

73. Lawsuit: The Game

Now the process of civil litigation can be fun for the whole family. What more can you want?

74. Shapewear for Men

Because why should only women receive gifts that insult their bodies? Also, resembles some tight S&M get up.

75. Horse Lamp

The kind of Christmas gift that would make one at a loss for words. Mostly because they couldn’t say how tacky it is.

76. Men’s Rainbow Dash Boxer Shorts

It’s the kind of gift that says, “I knew you liked My Little Pony but wanted to say it in the most embarrassing way possible.” Yeah, I don’t think any guy would want these.

77. Sushi Cologne Spray

Because there’s nothing that smells so sweet like raw fish. Okay, not all sushi has raw fish or even fish, but you know what I mean. Available for women.

78. Titanic Commemorative Heart Necklace

Yes, I know it's from the movie and it's a cheap imitation of Rose's necklace. But still, tie-in jewelry that commemorates a major disaster that killed over 1,500 people isn't romantic. It's disturbing.

Yes, I know it’s from the movie and it’s a cheap imitation of Rose’s necklace. But still, jewelry that commemorates the 100th anniversary a major disaster that killed over 1,500 people isn’t romantic. It’s extremely insensitive.

79. Armadillo Beverage Holder

From Huffington Post: “It’s a struggle to come up with a practical use for this. Unless you have some really kleptomaniacal dinner guests, we’re not sure why you need an armadillo to protect your beer.”

80. Beard Beer Can Koozie

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “I don’t even know what to say about this 1st place winner of the 2012 PBR Craft Show, so I’ll just tell you what amazon says…Give your favorite brew a manly mane of (facial?) hair with the Beard Koozie. Made from crafting fur that’s mounted to a stretchy band for maximum beer container compatibility, they feature a “mouth” opening to let a portion of the label shine through, and will instantly make you the coolest drunk at the party. I’m not sure there’s ever going to be a burlier – or funnier – way to drink a beer.”

81. Remote Control Holder Headband

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “Do you know someone who is always losing their remotes? Do they seem to just get up and walk away? Well, I’d love to see them try while they were stuck to their head! Never lose another remote! What a practical gift! Unfortunately, this is another DIY, and is not yet available in stores.”

82. Men’s Odor Eliminating Underwear

It’s the kind of gift for him that says he smells at his crotch region even after taking a shower. Yes, not going to go well.

83. Spray the Bitch Away Aromatherapy Spray

From Store Envy: “Spray the Bitch Away— An aromatherapy spray/ perfume for when you’re irritated, pissed off, annoyed, tired, peeved, frustrated, enraged, or have an overall bad attitude!” A good way to remind your friend about their temper and piss them off.

84. Double Kitchen Canisters

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “Let’s call a spade a spade on this one. This is entrapment. Who hasn’t had a morning where you want to sleep in and tell your toddler to go make breakfast themselves? With this automated cereal dispenser, you can pretend you toddler is a cat and they can eat what they can dispense while you sleep in.”

85. Pet Petter

Because why show your pet affection when there’s a contraption that can do it for you? With this you can never touch your pets again. Okay, this is a joke.

86. Musti Baby Perfume

Because your little one is never too young to stink like someone from France. Seriously, baby perfume? Why?

87. Spyder III Laser

From NBC News: “Wicked Laser’s Spyder III is quite simply the most powerful handheld laser that you can legally own. In fact, when it was released earlier this year, references describing it as a “lightsaber” were enough to catch the attention of George Lucas’ legal team. That having been said, its 1,000 mW blue laser output is powerful enough to burn holes in plastic, flesh, eyeballs, etc. — and this brings me to my point. Nothing good can come from owning one. The only real function of the Spyder III, it seems, is to draw the attention of the police should you ever point it at someone else or at any aircraft that happens to be flying overhead.” Costs $300.

88. Razor Blade Soap

From NBC News: “Soaps, lotions and oils are old standby gifts during the holidays, but this soap helps you clean those hard to reach areas … like the ones underneath your skin. Yes indeed, that’s a real razor blade in there — and the glycerin in the soap will oxidize the metal over time. So how about a simultaneous shower and a shave with a rusty metal blade? Let’s just hope that it comes with a tetanus-fresh scent.”

89. Coyote Urine

From Dave Barry: “If you’re looking to give a unique gift that will definitely “make an impression,” consider coyote urine. It comes in a convenient bottle, and it has countless uses. For example, you can sprinkle some on the ground around your house or garden, and small pests, thinking that a coyote has recently urinated there, will avoid the area. On the other hand, the urine might actually attract coyotes, not to mention larger animals such as wolves and bears that are interested in eating coyotes. So you could wind up having a very exciting yard. And that’s only one of the uses of coyote urine. We frankly don’t know what the other ones are. Maybe if you got called in by the IRS for an audit, you could sprinkle it on your tax records, and maybe that would scare off the auditor. There is only one way to find out.”

90. Black Toilet Paper

From Dave Barry: “Why would you give somebody black toilet paper? To answer that question, let’s quote the Amazon Product Description: ‘Black toilet paper will make a statement in any bathroom.’ Ask yourself: Do you know anybody who would NOT want to make a statement in the bathroom? Neither do we! That’s why we think you should give black toilet paper to everybody on your holiday list. It’s that very special kind of gift that makes everyone say, ‘I can’t tell whether this has been used.'”

91. Facelift Bra

From Dave Barry: “This product — another scientific beauty advance from Japan — is a brassiere that you wear on your head. If we understand it correctly, it pulls your cheeks sideways, thereby eliminating those lines on the side of your nose and mouth that make you look like the old witch who gave the apple to Snow White. Of course, it seems to us that when you take the face bra off, the lines would come right back. But what do we know? We’re just a gift guide. And that’s why we recommend this product as the perfect way to send the festive holiday message: ‘You’re looking old.'”

92. Vac Ride

It’s the combination of a vacuum cleaner and a riding mower. Only you use it to clean your floor. Still, God I hate vacuums.

93. Gravity Defying Boob Glue Instant Breast Lift in a Bottle

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “One time I was a guest on the Dr. Oz Show, and I told a joke about how long and lean were adjectives that once described my legs, but now it more aptly describes my breasts (true story, you can see me in the clip here starting around 1 minute in). Anyway, there’s not much I can do at this point other than roll them up like sardines and stuff them into my bra because plastic surgery isn’t an option. But now there’s a solution – and it’s less than $30! Introducing Bosom Gravity Defying Boob Glue! Now instead of stuffing them into place, only to have them fall flat moments later, I’d be able to glue those bad boys into place! As one of the reviewers said, “This is my new breast friend!” I’m going to ask for four bottles to start with because I’ve got a lot of gravity defying to do.”

94. Homemade Gin Kit

Now you can make that liver destroying alcoholic stuff without the bathtub. Seriously, gin is one of the worst things for you.

95. Reversible Disco Hoodie

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “Who doesn’t love a nice hoodie? If you want to give something a little snazzier than the same old gear, go for this reversible Disco deal! If you really want to jazz it up check out the matching vest, shorts and bikini top. Look out – the Holidays just got HAWT!”

96. Bacon Soda

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “No, not baking soda, Bacon Soda. Now I love bacon as much as the next girl, maybe a little more even, but there are some things I don’t want my bacon in – like perfume/cologne, coffee, wine and soda. However, if you want to give the gift that keeps on giving, check out their bacon of the month club!”

97. Bacon Scented Sizzl Dyer Sheets

These are bacon scented dryer sheets and includes a wall dispenser to give you a breakfast fresh scent. Okay, it’s a prank box. But just because you love the smell of bacon doesn’t mean you’d love it on your clothes.

98. Tattoo Sleeves

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “Does your man’s corporate day job leave you fantasizing about a tougher tatted man? Problem solved with the tattoo sleeves! Your man can sport his suit by day and these sexy tattoo sleeves by night,or maybe your Grandpa has always wanted to go a little wild. Really, who wouldn’t love this gift- and all for less than $20 (while the sale lasts!)”

99. Diva Cup

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “That yodeling pickle got me thinking about going “green,” so this next item shows your recipient that you love the environment just as much as you love them. And really, what doesn’t say love like a reusable cup you use during your period? I’d write more but I don’t want to spoil the details.”

100. White Stretch Bikini Jeans

From Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva: “These white bikini jeans would be a hit at the office party…talk about casual Fridays! Hot! Just do not pair with the Hot Pink Pubic Hair Dye. I’m sure it would show through and that would just be tacky.”
