Except we decided to take it to the next level. Well, the twelfth level actually. We've divided our list into twelve topics and will publish twelve different lists. Because we love you!
To kick off our Twelve Days Of Christmas, here's a look at some ornaments:
Strip NickEvery year I host an ornament exchange for several

Yoda With LED Light Saber Tree TopperMy mom gave this to us last year and it is possibly the best gift she's ever given. Way better than some lame-o angel or snowflake, let this Jedi Master defend your gifts with his green glowing lightsaber (Force not included).
Perfect For: Star Wars geeks, people who don't want a regular old boring tree
Recommended By: Archphoenix
Zombie OrnamentsJust the usual holidays... but undead!
Perfect For: The bah humbug in your family.

Romulan Bird-Of-PreyEvery year, Hallmark releases a bunch of Star Trek ornaments, but the ships are always my favorite. This year it's the original series Romulan Bird-of-Prey starship. It's not the most interesting ship to grace the series, but they've already done several versions of the Enterprise as well as the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the Defiant, and the Klingon Battlecruiser. (If this is all gibberish for you, then you probably don't want this ornament.) I dunno what's up with the blue engines, but otherwise, this one is pretty cool and will be joining the fleet on my tree this year.
Perfect For: Me (or any Star Trek fan on your gift list)

Rainbow Colors Glass DancerI'm a big fan of ornaments that can be used throughout the year. Leah Pellegrini's mini mobiles are the flavor of magic that could go from the tree to the window or fan pull or wherever it is that you hang dangly pretties in your space. In addition to the stock she has on hand, she will work with you to create a custom mobile to your specifications, too.

Michael Scott BobbleheadThis ornament combines my love of The Office with my love of bobbleheads (dirty little secret: I have over 100 of them).
Perfect For: The boss you hate or the boss whose ass you need to kiss

Day of the Dead Ornament Sugar SkullThat sugar skull ornament you see over there? I ordered it on a whim from Owl Creek Ceramics last week. Turns out that upon receiving it, it looks even better than the pictures suggest. It's large, sturdy, and the colors are vivid. All of Owl Creek's ornaments are handmade from start to finish--which I love--but what makes them a must-buy is the fact that each ornament is hand-painted on both sides, and each side has a unique-one-of-a-kind design. It's like getting two ornaments in one!

Video Game Controller OrnamentsLaser cut blue acrylic ornaments in the shapes of your favorite video game controllers.
Perfect For: The video game aficionado or anyone who's really into "themed" trees.

Personalized Wooden Snowflake Ornament & Custom Monogram Gift BoxIf you're looking for something rustic and warm, then Timber Green Woods has some amazing eco-friendly ornaments in their shop that are made from sustainable woods harvested right on the artists' farm. I especially love their personalized snowflakes.

Personalized Video Game Player Christmas Tree OrnamentA smiling child ornament who is blissfully playing video games, personalized with the name of your choice! Commemorate the whole family! (They also strangely seem to be wearing bibs. That kind of freaks me out.)
Perfect For: That punk kid who's going to ignore everyone as soon as s/he opens that first DSi game under the tree.
