Geeks may be shy and incomprehensible at times, but they have a few things going for them that make holiday decorating much more interesting -and fun! Geeks Are Sexy has some suggestions for adding some pizzazz to your Christmas decorations.

Sure, you can buy ornaments right outside of a box. And that’s easy enough. But if you’re like me, you’d rather your tree represents what you value. You know, ornaments painted like the Death Star or a Cylon. If you go over to Michael’s or any other big name craft store, you’ll find a plethora of round, unpainted, ornaments. Use some acrylic paint (the stuff you use to paint your Warhammer 40K army should work fine, if you’ve got some of that about). This year, since we’ve got a major tree upgrade, I’m planning on making Death Stars, Cylons, Sauron Eyes, and Eyes of Kilrogg.

They've also got advice on lights, and don't miss the Menger sponge gingerbread house. Link
