6. If in doubt, freak ’em out, with the Cthulhu Tree

Alternatively, if (like me) you prefer your Christmas a little more on the nerdy side of nerdy, bring Cthulhu into your homes this Christmas with the Cthulhu Christmas tree! You can buy finger tentacles here. Bonus : these ones glow in the dark.

“Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to hang about on the tree. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don’t.”
