One of the Christmas traditions in my family is every year each of us receives a Hallmark Christmas ornament. Over the years, I've developed quite the
collection of these ornaments. And many of the ornaments I've received
cater to my geeky interests.

My nephew Robby, receiving a Hallmark Christmas ornament |
A few years ago, I purchased a small artificial Christmas tree.
Unfortunately, due to its size, not all of my ornaments would fit on
it. However, I found that there was still enough
room to decorate my tree with a geek theme.

My Christmas Tree came pre-lit with lights |
The last two or three years, though I've put my tree out for
Christmas, I haven't felt motivated to decorate it beyond the lights
that came attached to the tree. But this year, I did feel
motivated.
And so now my tree is up and decorated--geek style!

More of the Star Wars theme and...yes, you guessed it--Star Trek theme! |
I also found that once I decorated my Christmas Tree with themes that
matched my interests, I also felt motivated to continue decorating.
So out came my ceramic Nativity set. Stockings were hung over the
fireplace. And for the first time, I also put up some outdoor
Christmas lights.

Traditional Christmas decorations, including a ceramic Nativity set |

I even did some decorating outside this year |
Though I am glad that I have some more traditional Christmas items
that help me and others remember that Christmas is really about
Christ, and I think it's important that these get put out as well,
I'm quite pleased that anyone that looks at my tree can tell that I
am a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, Superman, Green Lantern, and the
Avengers, just to name a few.

No doubt about it... This is a geek's Christmas Tree! |
So with both my geek and traditional themes on display, I'm pleased
to say that in my home, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
