If you don’t feel like spending your white Christmas on the dark side with some Star Wars Christmas Ornaments, you could always try these colorful M&M ones instead.

Their eyes light up and mouths move to the music using the actual licensed M&M voices – the green gal sings “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” and the red guy croons “Holly Jolly Christmas.”

The M&M Musical Ornaments measures 4 inches in diameter and requires 3 x AA batteries. You can get from Catalog Favorites for $14.95 a pop, or as a set for $24.95.

Somehow I get the feeling that this Google USB Flash Drive is not what Matt Cutts and the rest of the team will get for Christmas this year. I hope I didn’t spoil the surprise…

Did you think the Darth Vader Statue was weird? That’s nothing compared to these two Christmas inspired Star Wars droids that the guys over at Walyou stumbled upon.

This collectible was inspired by the 1980’s Lucasfilm holiday greeting card art by Ralph McQuarrie, the concept artist responsible for much of the look of the original Star Wars trilogy. The set comes with a display base and includes a full-sized holiday greeting card.

You can get the “Star Wars Holiday Edition R2-D2 and C-3PO” from Amazon for $30.85 or over at eBay with the “buy it now” price set to $33.50.

For some reason, the manufacturers of this radio-controlled indoor toy thought Santa was better suited in a helicopter, rather than the traditional sleigh and reindeer team.

R/C flying Santa micro helicopter with a handheld 3-channel remote. This lightweight toy has a single fixed rotor and stabilizer bar for fun short range flight.

The remote controller allows the helicopter to be flown and landed, hover in midair, and turn left or right. There is also a stabilizer bar on the helicopter that is controlled by the remote, so you can trim the flight and prevent flips and spins.

Here’s a video demonstration of the radio-controlled Santa:

Are you one of those who buy the Christmas gifts in the last minute and hardly manage to get the tree up in time for the guests to arrive?

Maybe this Last Minute Instant Tree ($400) from Hammacher Schlemmer is just what you need to get into the christmas spirit and be able to relax.

Unlike most prelit trees that require some styling to achieve their optimal shape, this 7 1/2′ prelit tree comes in four hinged sections which, when put together, instantly assume the form of a fully shaped Christmas tree, allowing you to begin decorating within five minutes.

The tree has 800 commercial white lights and 2,600 heavy-duty PVC tips that require no additional shaping for the life of the tree, and will not crush during storage. It has a powder-coated steel center pole, and the stainless steel cores in each tip support the heaviest of ornaments. Lights are rated for 3,000 hours of operation; if one bulb burns out, the balance of the lights will still operate.

Nigel’s Eco Store has filled up their shop with a bunch of cool looking eco friendly christmas tree decorations made of recycled CDs and circuit boards.

Decorate your Christmas tree with these funky and good looking hanging decorations made from recycled circuit boards and recycled CDs, that would otherwise have been thrown away.
