It also inspired me:
Here's our tree in all its Norman Rockwell-esque glory. If you look really closely, you'll see that my son's presents are wrapped in Spiderman paper, while my daughter's presents are wrapped in Disney Princess paper. The tree is topped by a plain gold star, and completed by a homemade Christmas card from my son.
Here's our mantel:
Stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Santa Homer would stay away from the Christmas doughnuts (fat chance).
And, lastly, just for Bruce, because he couldn't stop talking about it...
Yes, I have Star Trek ornaments on my tree. There's Worf right there, and Captain Kirk in the captain's chair, as well as Benjamin Sisko and the Enterprise D. My name is Jay, and I'm a Trekkie geek...
There's also a whole bunch of Simpson's stuff and various and sundry car, truck, and motorcycle-related ornaments. Interestingly enough, I have yet to find a Smith & Wesson, Colt, or AK-47 ornament.
Methinks there's a large, untapped market out there... ;)
Anyways, I've got to go stop the kids from killing each other before Christmas gets here, so let me close by offering wishes for a Merry Christmas, and my thoughts and prayers are with the brave men and women defending this country abroad on this holiday. G-d bless them and keep them safe.
That is all.

Back at ya!
I hadn't thought of gun ornaments. . . Wonder how long it would take to make one from wood or such. . . I may have to try once the work shop is set up in a few weeks. . . I may even get into doing the tree next year. . .
hers the AK, here the AR, gotta have a Ma Duce. . . . = )
could turn into a nice red neck Christmas. . . .
Thanks for the idea . . Now if the wife will let me do it. . . .
PS I got a few Trek ships on my tree and some Star Wars so I guess I will see you at the next Geeks Anonymous meeting. . .
Merry Christmas, Jay and the Gs!!
I love that you have a train running around your tree. So classic. (and I wholeheartedly approve of the Trekker ornaments!)
Best holiday wishes to you and your family.
Indeed it is not an untapped market. My entire tree is done in hunting/fishing ornaments (complete with tin and wooden star.) Bass Pro sell oodles of hunting/gun/fishing/outdoor ornaments and some of them seriously crack me up. I'll take pics before I take my tree down.
Merry Christmahs, you Massahchusets bastuhd!
Merry Christmas J.G. !
Merry Christmas to you and your family Jay!
Merry Christmas to all the Gs!
(And a special hug to my gs. Hope he and his sister had a boffo blowout this joyous noel.)
