Several years ago whilst in this little shop I came across a display of Christmas tree ornaments that was so glorious, it’s become a life goal to one day have an entire tree dedicated to them. Since it’s “Christmas in July” time– another mix of summer and winter (that I don’t think anyone except mattress companies actually cares about, but still)– it’s the perfect opportunity to talk about these. I know some of you are probably already familiar with these, but for those of you who haven’t had the extreme pleasure…
May I humbly present to you, Sexy Mermen Sparkly Ornaments.
The drinking, ready to party versions of our mermen. One of whom is channeling Finnick Odair, while the other is rocking some leather armbands and a belly button tattoo. And check out that ink on the bottom of his fin!
Apparently merpeople tails come in camo print, and can also be made of denim. (But then, how did he get the underwear on? And why would they be under his tail? So, is that not his actual tail and actually a tube of denim that he’s wearing over the tail? This is all so complex.)
Goth and douchey body builder versions, obviously.
Oooo, tribal! But also carrying some sort of man bag? For transporting the skull when he’s not showing it off? And a delivery guy, because even the ocean has a mail system.
A Halloween one? Seriously? We’re mixing mermen, Christmas, and Halloween? No. But silver, sparkly hoodie guy looks fly as hell.
The career mermen! That doctor doesn’t look creepy at all trying to temp us with that lollypop. That fearless police officer clearly just stopped a crime in progress. That’s how his shirt got torn. What a respectable man of the law. But, my very favorite of all of these ornaments has to be
the Mardi Gras jester. The hat, the beads, the tail pattern, it all works. I don’t know who designed all of these, but they have my sincere thanks. Merry Christmas in July, everyone!
