A Portal Christmas Tree

I know Christmas is already over, but it’s never too late to share something as awesome as this Portal tree. If you want to know how to make your own for next year’s festivities, here are a few tips:

Basically, it’s our artificial tree which comes apart in three sections. The top section is suspended from the ceiling by an adhesive hook so it simply hangs downwards. The other two sections are connected and placed upside down on the floor – the tricky part is that the branches are meant to be kept extended out by gravity, so there is fishing line attached between each branch and what is usually the base of the tree, pulling the branches up towards the ceiling.

While it looks cool, it seems like it might get in the way since it takes up so much space.

The 20 Geekiest Christmas Decorations Ever

Are you ready to geek the halls? If so, here are the best ways to celebrate your inner-nerd with these great delightfully dorky holiday decorations.

ThinkGeek’s Tannenbomb Prank

No one will be singing Silent Night when this little beauty is hidden on their tree. It might look like another innocent ornament, but at random intervals, the Tannenbomb will emit a variety of noises including beeps, buzzing, cricket chirps and elf giggle. Since the effects go off at random, your recipient will go crazy trying to figure out where these weird sound effects are coming from.

Star Wars Yoda Tree Topper

The holidays are all about celebrating your religion, so if you happen to be a practicing Jedi, show your love of The Force with this great Yoda tree topper.

Yoda LED Tree Topper

If you prefer a angel on top of your tree rather than a star, well here’s the Yoda equivalent, complete with a light up light saber.

Yoda (Clone War) Star Wars Christmas Light Set

The fun doesn’t stop with the top of the tree, keep your force support going with these adorable Yoda Christmas lights.

C3-PO Star Wars Christmas Light Set

Star Wars Christmas décor doesn’t end with Yoda by any means. If you prefer a little droid in your decorations, then consider these great C3-PO Christmas lights instead…or use both.

Star Trek Spock Tree Topper

For those that worship at the alter of Picard and Kirk, here is a tree topper just for you featuring Spock sharing his Vulcan salute from up high.

Doctor Who Dalek & Tardis

Don’t let your sci fi love stop with American classics though. These hand-crafted glass Dalek and Tardis ornaments are great Christmas additions for any fan of The Doctor.

Leg Lamp Christmas Light Set

These decorations might be a bit “Fragile,” but they’re a great way to add a little pizzazz to your otherwise completely unsexy Christmas tree. And while you might go blind if you stare at them too long, they certainly won’t shoot your eye out, which is always a plus.

Gingerbread Zombie

What have they done to you poor Gingie? Oh no, don’t look at me with those eyes….ahhhh…

USB Snowbot

Here’s a great way to brighten up your desk this holiday season. Enjoy the cheerful vibe from your very own cyborg snowman.

Plush Microbe Holiday Set

They’re so cute, and so deadly. The Giant Microbe holiday set is a perfect way to show your love of biology with a plush brain stem, common cold, mono, E. coli and amoeba all decked out for the festivities.

 Magic Growing Christmas Tree

Chemists can finally enjoy their own brand of holiday cheer this year with this great “magic” Christmas tree. It’s great for desk décor and it’s a great way to teach kids about crystals.

Motherboard Christmas

Finally, programmers and IT workers everywhere can celebrate the holidays in their own style with these great ornaments made from recycled motherboards.

Motherboard Christmas Tree or Menorah

If like the motherboard ornaments, but you want something to decorate your desk with, then try this Christmas tree. If you celebrate Chanukah, you can still get in on the fun with this adorable motherboard Menorah that actually lights up every day of Chanukah.

Sparkling Bacon

Everyone loves bacon, so what better way to celebrate your adoration for crispy pig bellies than with this adorable, sparkling Christmas ornament?

Tube Sock Christmas Stocking

Nothing says class like a tube sock stocking and you certainly don’t need to be a jock to appreciate the comfort and style of these classic gym accessories.

Inflatable Wreath

Wreaths are a great way to celebrate the holidays, but they’re a pain in the butt to put together and a nightmare to store until next year. Solve all these problems with this great inflatable wreath –just make sure to pull it inside during any heavy wind storms this winter.

Inflatable Christmas Tree

Why stop at the wreath though? Why not just make your whole tree inflatable? It certainly will be a lot easier to clean up after at the end of the year. Plus, it even includes loops so you can still hang up your favorite ornaments.

Lego Star Wars Ornaments

Of course, if you’re trying to save some money this Christmas, you can always make your own ornaments and these Star Wars Lego ornaments are some of the best geek ornaments that money can’t buy.
