You want your house to be lit up brighter than Clark Griswold’s in Christmas Vacation. But you’ve got problems to solve, beyond just the aesthetic challenge. How can you make sure you don’t take a three-story dive off a slippery eave. And how much power are a few thousand feet of lights gonna require? More »
These days Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes. For Skyrim fans, this life-sized Dragonborn Nord tree (actually a statue decorated like a tree) is all they need.
This crazy statue/tree comes from Redditor Lanarchy, who spends way too much time running around in Skyrim and needed more of it in real life. In the future they will say, “I used to decorate my Dragonborn tree every year. Until I took an arrow to the knee.”
This Skyrim tree is the perfect centerpiece for a geeky Christmas. The little Yoda on his shoulder is a nice touch, despite having nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls. Or does he?

Sure you could buy an SSD or an iPad mini or a Samsung Galaxy S III but where’s the fun in that? Those gifts would be great and if they’re a self-respecting geek, they should get that themselves. These made up gag gifts by Joy of Tech though? Torturous comedic gold. More »
Don’t blink. Don’t use lights that blink on your Christmas tree. Otherwise it is bound to be a very short holiday season for you if you have a weeping angel tree topper.
Artist and crafter Cynthia posted a step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own weeping angel Christmas tree topper. It isn’t as difficult as you think, but it is dangerous. Basically you will be using a plastic water bottle, a Barbie doll, modeling clay, tape, glue, and paint.
However, bringing weeping angels into this reality could kill you. Remember, always work in a mirrored room so you can keep an eye on your creation. Make one for your tree if you want, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Christmas decorations are so tacky. And not wonderfully tacky. Terrible. I hate them. There must be a place to get better ones. Or do I have to make them myself? Whatever, I’m open to anything. Help! More »
It turns out that decorating your Christmas tree isn’t necessarily all about taste. Mathematicians at the University of Sheffield in the UK have developed a formula for the perfect way to deck the halls. More specifically, what ratio of ornaments to lights to tinsel will make your tree most aesthetically pleasing. More »
If you want to make an amazing gingerbread house for the holidays this year, forget about making one that you might find in the woods. Make one that you would normally find in space, like this Millennium Falcon gingerbread house.
This gingerbread Millennium Falcon was of the entries in Canada’s National Gingerbread Showcase 2012. This entry was named ‘Canoe Wars’ because it was made by the Canoe Brewpub. It features Han in a sled being pulled by a tauntaun, Chewbacca, and a bunch of candy canes. And the surface of Hoth appears to be made of shredded coconut.
I don’t know what they are drinking at that brewpub, but it is certainly working for them. They did an amazing job on this tasty treat. I’ll have whatever they are having.

Celebrate the holidays this year with extermination! With this Dalek Christmas tree, forget putting gifts under the tree or hanging pretty ornaments. The only gift you will be wishing for is for the good Doctor to come and save you.
I’m not sure where this tree originated from, but I’m willing to bet it came from Skaro and that through some Christmas special or another, the Doctor banished it to Christmas for all time, before wrapping up the episode with a happy ending.
Hopefully this thing doesn’t come to life and kill it’s owner on Christmas Eve though. Dalek-related holiday mishaps are on the rise.

We all have horrible people in our lives that we have to buy Christmas presents for -no matter how much we actually hate them.
These people can be some of the hardest people to shop for, which is annoying
since you don’t really want to buy them something anyway.
We’re
here to help with this year’s list of terrible Christmas presents for all the
worst kind of people in your life.
Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat and whatnot. Maybe you’re in the market for a Christmas tree, maybe you’re not. Maybe you’d like to be in said market, but you are extremely, extremely lazy. Treeasy’s got your back, that is, if you don’t mind something bare and metallic. More »
