We are all in favor of joining in the Christmas spirit, celebrating with family and
friends and enjoying the joys of gifting. We are even in favor of
decorating for the holidays, bringing lights and cheer into a dark time
of year. However, there really needs to be a limit to the festivity,
don’t you think? At some point, being festive crosses the line to being
ridiculous. Many folks love dressing up for the holidays, but some
folks go overboard to the extreme. Doing something festive with your
hair is one example of where you can easily overdo it. Here are my picks for 11 Holiday Hairstyles Sure To Shock

Here’s 13 of the oddest, funniest and strangest Christmas Tree Ornaments to add fun to your tree:
Have you tried sharing an umbrella with someone who’s shorter than you? It’s fine if you’re the one holding it, but if the other person is holding it, then you might feel a couple of bumps as the frame scrapes against your head, because your companion might be holding it a wee bit low.
Clearly, that’s a first-world problem. But it’s one that Hiroshi Kajimoto has solved with the UnBRELLA. When it’s closed, the UnBRELLA appears upside-down. When it’s open, you’ll see that the frame is placed on the outside instead, which makes it inside-out as well.

The UnBRELLA is available for pre-order online. It will be released in mid-February 2014.
