The [ET] Best Holiday Decorations for 2020

My collection of 14 of the best holiday decorations for 2020 contains a major Christmas gift to you from me: it is free of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, face masks, elections, republicans, democrats, and any reference to global pandemics and politics.

Well. It was, anyway, until I just dropped all those buzzwords. Sorry.

Swedish Christmas Gnome Lights

There's gnome place like home. There's no place like gnome. There's no place better than home to line up a trio of light-up Swedish Christmas Gnomes. Gnome my goodness, I cannot believe how bad I want to tug their beards. Honk their noses. Present them to my wife knowing they will absolutely melt her heart, and possibly make her feel like presenting me with something in return. If you gnome what I mean.

Christmas Tree Wine Bottle Rack

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how bubbly are your branches! Red and white, maybe some orange too, if you're into funky wine.

A Christmas Story 8' Living Projection Inflatable

A Christmas Story 8' Living Projection Inflatable

Gemmy's A Christmas Story 8' Living Projection Airblown Inflatable might be the easiest way to make sure your house is the one cars park outside to stare at this holiday season. ... Maybe tied with tossing together a mannequin scene of Santa in an orgy with some of his lingerie-clad Little Helpers.

Anyway, my point is there's no need to spend the time and frustration, plus possible fuse blows and falls off the roof, going all Clark Griswold to project your Christmas Spirit this year. You just need a Gemmy projector to do it for you. The Christmas Story Living Projection Airblown Inflatable uses "advanced, high-tech image mapping" to roll 5 scenes from the life of Ralphie Parker across a 96" x 22" in x 89" blow-up screen shaped like a retro television set.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. But I'll put up with your bah-humbug comments and general cantankerousness if you'll wear a jacket and baseball cap and help me cheat drive in the carpool lane.

Since its original debut, 420 Science has scaled down the Menorah bong to desktop size, though they promise this version "can still pack an enormous hit." With all 8 bowls bubbling together when you take hold, those who make each of these fine specimens of a high holy day to order wish you good luck trying to hit them all at once.

Twerking Santa Claus

Twerking Santa Claus

Twerking Santa Claus and his rump-shakin' special sauce aren't new for this Christmas season, but the fact that he's back on the shelves means something even better: the booty bouncer is well on his way to becoming a holiday classic.

Twerking Santa, who likes big butts and cannot lie per the demo video (you can see it here), stands about 13.5" tall, which sounds pretty long, strong, and down to get the friction on to me. In addition to adding Twerking Santa as the ass cherry on top of your own festive decor, you might also consider his battery- and push-button-operated cheeky moves and grooves for a literal offering in this year's Dirty Santa gift exchange.

Wife or girlfriend wishing for a kitty under the Christmas tree this year? Welp, get her a Christmas Tree Kitty Carpet and you'll basically be giving her exactly what she asked for. While saving yourself the allergic reactions, claw marks, and litter box duties.

Typically it's the kitties that can't wait to pounce on your Christmas tree, but with this reusable crotch wig we see what might be the first Christmas tree that can't wait to pounce on your kitty. We've seen that which they call "merkins" around here before, and while the Kitty Carpet doesn't use real human hair or try to replicate the coarse and coiled look of real bushy pubic hair, it is still recommended for use in covering up "botched Brazilians, misbehaved shaves, and unveiled vajayjays."
