    @Curves: I can come dressed as Neo before he became the One, which...incidentally, is how I dress now.

    All it's missing is a life-size Large Hadron Collider.

    I had no idea you could put stuff like this on a Christmas tree. I thought it all had to be all religious stuff like Baby Jesus and Mary and Wise Men and nutcrackers.


    If I had known, there would be far fewer blue-and-silver globes on my Hannukah Bush and a lot more TIE Fighters.

    @sqeakytoy of the apocalypse: I'm not saying that I wouldn't have X-Wings (and Y-Wings, and B-Wings, and A-Wings). But I also have to worry about mynoks chewing through the cables.


    Now I know. Next year, I'm getting a bigger Hannukah Bush and it's going to be properly decked out in geek regalia.

    Not bad.. but no TARDIS? Dalek? Cybermen?


    So then admit it, not nearly all the sci-fi decorations I could imagine. Just a testament to how far and wide the number of sci-fi characters have gone :)

    Welcome, WELCOME GIZMODIANS!!!


    Glad you folks like the tree!


    I'm glad to share it with my friends on Gizmodo!


    Please accept this as our card to all of you wishing the very, very best this and every year.


    If it was up to me we'd string lights around the ceiling and have all of them out all the time.


    -but I'm not dusting all that shit.

    Not me man, no way.

    @strider_mt2k: Does your wife run a science fiction/ gizmo tolerance training course that my wife could sign up for? Because there is no way I could get away with that, and I really wish I could.

    @strider_mt2k: Very nice. I have many of them myself. Actually I think I have doubles and possibly triples on some of them, including the first Enterprise ornament released. I haven't hung them in years though. Like Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★ I have a cat to content with..

    She's as geeky as I am.

    He doesn't have the FireFly Serenity ornament. When my wife saw those on Giz, she ordered two.

    My cats would spend hours figuring out how to get each of those ornaments down, then proceed to bring them upstairs and leave them in front of my bed.
