Fourth annual "Tacky Christmas Decoration" thread!

[Archae]

For the fourth year, I'm accepting inputs of really tacky Christmas decorations, that you've seen.

There's only one rule: It can't be a hand-made item.
It has to be manufactured, that way you know there are many more of those horrible things out there.

The winners were-

A cartoony lighthouse with an animated face, about a foot and a half tall, that sang Christmas Carols in a "Las Vegas Lounge Singer" (just imagine Bill Murray's lounge singer sketch) style.

"Billy Bass" with a Santa Hat stapled on it's head and singing Christmas tunes.

A Nativity scene, using the Scooby-Doo characters.

(BTW, all of these were seen at Wal-Mart, so that should tell you something...) :-)

Any entries yet?

1. Are you kidding?

7. Jinkies... it's Jesus

That's not Jesus, it's Old Man Hansen...

And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids...

6. How about the one where Santa is kneeling

before the Christ child in his manger? That creeps me out.

:scared:

8. I haven't seen that one

What do you suppose the religious significance is?

9. Santa at the manger

I think it is MEANT to show that the commercialism of Christmas should take a distant second to the religious significance, but I agree, it is creepy. Something really WRONG about marketing an ornament meant to denigrate commercialism, ya know what I mean??O8)
