Boston Fashion File XXV

Christmas tree ornament edition.

Yesterday I went to Faneuil Hall to do some last minute Christmas shopping.  Just poked around to find some things for friends and family.  No big deal.  I spotted a Christmas ornament shop.  I went in to see what they had.

(Now we pause because the pictures I am about to show deserve one.)

Now usually these posts have to do with people and their fashion.  This is the first one about things and it could more accurately be called “American Christmas Ornament Fashion File” but let’s just leave it at Boston Fashion File.

OK, I think we are ready for our first ornament.  They will get progressively stranger as we go on:

Merry Spaceman-mas??  I guess???  OK, but this is still kind of cute.  But what does this have to do with Christmas??:

Will this gent be attending Christmas with us this year??  Well, I guess this is cute.  In the way that some rats are cute.

But then it gets weird.  I know, you thought we were already there.  Not even close.  Not even close.

Ever seen a mer-Santa-lady, the Turducken of Christmas ornaments??  Well, you have now:

Another mermaid Christmas ornament.  I guess her mid imaginary swim:

Now we get ridiculous.  Now it is time to question the judgement of a person who will put this one their tree.  I’m all for nudity.  But this is just kind of insane:

And I am saving the best for last.  The Kiss Christmas ornaments.  I was to drink egg nog all night and decorate the tree with this every day:
