Your Christmas tree ornaments don’t have to be all about snowmen and angels. A dinosaur egg that is in the middle of hatching gives the holiday a whole different feeling. Think about how much more fun all of the Christmas specials would be if there were raptors running loose in all of them.

I first posted this over the weekend on our Twitter feed, but this find is so amusing that I had to share it with everyone. Presenting Maximilian, the gladiator nutcracker. I came across this holiday gem in World Market and had to have it.

Few people know the story of Frank the Reindeer. He tried out for the team, but he lacked “star quality”, and his name was all wrong for the image that Santa was trying to convey to the public. Second, he wasn’t the best flier. He was down on his luck though, and Santa found it in his heart to give him a job anyway. Sometimes Frank wishes he hadn’t.

What could be more dysfunctional than hiding liquor inside a Christmas ornament? If you happen to live with someone with a drinking problem, and your tree smells like booze, you can catch them in the act by covering the tree in bell ornaments. Every time a bell rings, someone is getting loaded.

When society gets into a rut where it can’t produce any worthwhile new inventions, we fall back on our obsession with changing products that already exist. In that spirit we offer this snowman made from a tampon. Standing at a mighty 3 1/2 inches, the flowman and his absorbing power will command giggles from your girlfriends and give any song that mentions snow a nice menstrual cycle vibe.

Nothing is going to brighten up your Christmas like half a dozen grenades. In keeping with the spirit of the season, they are all a nice and shiny chrome color. It may seem more festive if they were red and green, but that isn’t really in keeping with the grenade spirit.

Covering your tree with boob decorations this Christmas should help lighten the mood when family members who secretly hate each other gather together for awkward Holiday tension. If all goes well, they may be too busy laughing to argue, and you can remember fondly the year when “Nippley, The White Porcelain Tit” saved Christmas.

Santa has to fund his workshop somehow, and that means selling out at a level that would even shock Disney.
