Light-up Father Christmas
You can have a nice, colour co-ordinated Christmas tree with matching lights, baubles and tinsel. You can can have tasteful decorations adorning your lovely home in minimalist style. Or you can go bonkers and cover the place with tat!
Personally, I like a bit of tat at Christmas. Probably no surprise there. Here, for your visual amazement, is one of the coolest, yet cheap, Crimbo ornaments ever. It was owned by my friend Nicky, and sat on her desk in work. It’s a wax Father Christmas candle, which also has a light up feature inside.

Apparently this was really cheap (£1?), and came from a Christmas bargain shop in Wrexham. I think it’s awesome. I would love to own one, for two reasons. Firstly, it’s quite a well crafted likeness and fairly detailed. Secondly, it’s tacky as hell. A candle that lights up from the inside as well? Beyond pointless.
Light up Santa is a really nice bit of tat, though now he’s apparently been lost in an office move. If you ever see one of these on your travels, readers, please buy a couple. One for yourself, and one for me. I promise I’ll pay you back.
More Christmas tat very soon…

I may pop to tacky xmas shop tonight and see what else I can find! I feel that a replacement for light up santa is needed. A light up stag would be good. I’ll try and sneak some pictures on the sly of many tacky items whilst I’m in there. It’s a massive warehouse that only opens once a year.
If they’ve got a light-up Santa – I NEED one!
