All nerdy Christmas trees need to be decked out with these Super Mario Christmas ornaments. These ornaments were made by the Etsy store GingerPots and are a great way for geeks to show their holiday spirit. Even if you think Christmas has been taken over by the capitalistic corporations intent on monetizing a religious celebration, you can't argue that these ornaments are both cute and geeky.
