Hallmark Offering Really Nerdy Christmas Tree Ornaments

Well, it's that time of the year again -- time to wait until the very last minute to buy presents for your loved ones in order to solidify the fact that you'll be waiting on insanely long lines next to people who don't shower and like to scream at their misbehaving kids about once every 10 seconds. Or at least that's what I'll be doing this year. One thing I always look forward to, though, is heading out on a cold winter's night to purchase a way-too-expensive Christmas tree for my living room ... and then decorating it while consuming some nice tasty beverages that may or may not be of the alcoholic variety. But when you're a movie geek like me, you want to decorate that tree with tons of really random movie references so that your family can come over and be all like, "Um, is that the car from Ghostbusters hanging on your tree?" Luckily, for nuts like us, there's Hallmark -- who this year have unleashed a pretty cool collection of nerdy movie-related ornaments tied to Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, Ghostbusters, The Corpse Bride, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, A Christmas Story, Bolt, Cars, Toy Story, Shrek, Harry Potter and more.
And in case you're wondering which ornament I'll be purchasing for my tree this year, look no further than the right of your screen. I shouldn't have to tell you which movie and scene that ornament references. Check out a few of my personal favorites below and the rest over at Hallmark.

Our Christmas tree has mostly movie-themed ornaments on it (I use an old 35mm trailer reel instead of a tinsel garland), so it's always helpful to find a good source for more movie decorations. And very good when they're not huge (some of the Hallmark ornaments are too bulky for our small pink plastic tree).

Are the ornaments pictured in the article all that are available? If so, that's kind of a poor selection, if you ask me. I was expecting more Star Wars ornaments.

That's what is available this year. Hallmark has been putting out Star Trek & Star Wars ornaments (among others) for more than ten years.

Tickle Me Plant Alien Or Fake?
The leaves instantly close when you Tickle It and the branches droop. Just search the net if you believe this is real and need gift to grow a plant that moves when Tickled
