7 Ways to Have a Geeky Christmas

Believe It or Not: Unconventional Christmas Decorations

As I was preparing to go live today, I couldn't help but notice that my Christmas tree had an unusual touch - eyes! Yes, you read that right - eyes. They were placed on the branches of the tree in a rather creative and unconventional way. While I'm not sure where these eyes came from or how they got there, I do know that I love anthropomorphization of objects. It's always fun to imagine that everyday things can have personalities and emotions.

As I looked closer at my Christmas tree, I noticed something else peculiar - a small notch on the top of one of the Stormtrooper ornaments. But what caught my attention was that it wasn't just any ornament. It was a 3D printed first-order Stormtrooper ornament! I had received this as a gift from a company that specializes in 3D printing holiday decorations. The fact that it's made of solid white material and can be tilted to reveal the intricate details is truly impressive.

But what really blew my mind was when I looked at another ornament - a 3D printed tree with LEDs! It was designed to fit on top of my Christmas tree, but there wasn't an adapter provided. Luckily, the company had included instructions on how to plug it in using a different type of adapter. This is exactly what I love about these companies - they offer such innovative and unique products that you can customize to your liking.

As a geek, I was thrilled to discover that this company also offers 3D printed Star Wars themed snowflakes! Yes, you read that right - C-3PO as a snowflake ornament! It's a clever way to celebrate the holiday season while paying homage to our favorite sci-fi franchises. And if you're like me and love geeky gifts, then this is definitely something you should check out.

But what about furry friends who deserve some holiday cheer? What can you get for your pet when they already have everything they need - a comb? Well, I have one solution that's sure to bring a smile to their face: the Star Wars holiday Christmas album! It's the perfect gift for any dog or cat owner who loves music and geek culture.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello world I'm Chris Perillo and happy holidays to you my winter holiday of choice because I say it's a falliday because it's kind of full of folly and Holly jelly uh I celebrate Christmas but uh I really respect all of the the winter holidays because really one kind of built on top of the other on top of the other on top of the other and so no matter what you choose to celebrate happy whatever I am happy for you and I'm happy to have you in my community this is the erome Daily Reporter tldr for short streamed live every single weekday it's usually crammed with tech talk but in general I am kind of a geek and I do nerdy things so I thought today for Christmas I would give you seven ways that you can have a geeky Christmas or holiday you know no matter how you choose to celebrate this winter holiday season day series of days happy festiv us can I say that is that is that okay I like festivas invented holidays is what it's all about every holiday was invented think about that just for a moment okay uh the first thing I'm going to tell you to do and I'm telling you to do it and I've been doing it for the past few years is what you see in front of you well one of the things that you see in front of you uh this is a wireless LED string it's powered by batteries right here horrible Christmas gifts batteries I believe uh but the the the LED Christmas lights awesome or Holiday Lights whatever you want to call them I love them oh wait except that they're not perfect Tech what are you going to do so uh there you could uh wear these around uh inside outside doesn't really matter and I'm already Tangled Up in the holiday lights I I love Things That Glow I I always do and I even had a Rudolph nose an LED nose you might remember that from last year it broke Tech what are you going to do so uh the first thing to put yourself in the holiday spirit is is wear these out uh not just on your holiday uh but throughout the entire season people love them they just freak out they ask all the time where'd you get them and I say go. tag.com free points no I I don't I don't say that but I I probably should so that they can get theirs for free too by getting Amazon gift cards I've talked about that in the past so walk around with wireless I am not tethered just so you know look I am not tethered at all this this is uh what's powering the uh pack is powering my my LED bolts that have gone out again give me a second there we go okay is that better can I continue with my other six points okay well I'm glad I can uh the next thing I recommend you do is find a favorite holiday station uh Christmas station whatever uh in your favorite music streaming service and then just uh play it maybe not 24/7 but just have it on in the background the ser seriously I mean walk around with it I mean you've got your smartphone anyway right I mean I'm assuming you do uh just uh uh put it on a music station and there are tons of free stations out there you can use just about any given music subscription service even if you don't subscribe to music subscription service uh there are plenty of free Christmas radio stations out there uh I don't have any one recommendation because everybody has uh a favorite now personally I'm a huge fan of the holiday Classics I like the rock uh holiday class or just uh you know perennial favorites and you know what the funny thing is every year I discover a new favorite that's another thing that I like to do I like uh branching out and and uh learning about uh other uh other artists or albums I never listened to this year uh I got Christmas in the Stars which was the Star Wars Christmas album and it pretty much was Christmas um not to be confused with the holiday special that that is long forgotten although the best part of the holiday special was the cartoon where we first saw the debut of Boba Fett but uh the Star Wars Christmas album is currently in exclusive you can get it on CD I got it I ripped it uh so I could listen to it everywhere and uh it's uh it's great I love the Star Wars Christmas album so many good favorites like what do you get a w Wookie for Christmas which is what I was playing seconds before I went live uh with this video uh I also branched out and listened to pentatonics I think that's how you say the name really awesome I've always been a huge fan of Acappella music and their uh Renditions of holiday uh fa flavorit well if you eat a lot of uh candy and chocolate they would be flavored uh Classics uh done very very well pentatonics is uh is my next uh uh was my next choice for a new holiday album Christmas album okay I'm rearranging the lights so that it doesn't always look the same as you're skipping through this video looking for a great frame to screenshot and share with your friends saying look at this nerd oh my God he's all lit up the next thing I'm going to recommend is an advent calendar but a geeky Advent calendar there are a lot of Advent calendars out there my favorite is Lego now Lego is not just Star Wars Lego though I do have obviously the Star Wars Lego calendar thanks to Betsy Weber she sent this to me I appreciate it cuz I couldn't find it locally I waited too long so this was actually a gift and it kept giving for 23 days why 23 well because if you're watching the Vlog you know I'm going day by day or at least attempting to and I have not yet opened day 24 so they have uh the the Lego Advent calendar here uh is not just with Star Wars they've got one for City so you can get that and I did uh I got that one on sale like uh almost half off really it felt like that maybe 25 30% off it was great and then uh they also have the Lego Friends calendar which I kind of skipped on I'm not I'm not necessarily a fan of the the friend series designs love the bricks but the Minifigures just look weird to me so I'm going to go ahead and now open day 24 behind day 24 we have Santa thio oh wow so you open the door and you pull out the whatever it is and then you build it see all these little things that I built like a little sarlac pit uh looks like a a little star destroyer there was a stormtrooper an atat or an at8 Imperial Walker that I put uh like uh antlers on cuz I had duplicate antlers from the R2-D2 with antlers I got a second pair so I put the other pair on the Imperial Walker that's downstairs just so you know so let me do this before I forget I'm not flashing you or am I flashing you I guess I am kind of flashing you today I'm going to go ahead and try to steady the iPad there I have no better place to set it at this time and to make sure the names that display could be seen at least at some point you may have to zoom in just like you do the chat there it's as visible as the chat these are my patrons if you want full tldr access like it's Tech talk every day generally speaking Tech questions Tech answers Tech news stuff that's full tldr and if you become a patron then you can get access to all of tldr live every weekday or of course you know if you can't watch it live you can watch it after the pack I am going to assemble my Santa 3PO and inspect it very closely for one reason um much like with the R2-D2 this doesn't seem to be very special uh there was like an Astromech that was like a snowman with carrots on it and everything a couple of years ago uh even the Darth Vader I believe was last year the Darth Vader Santa minifigure was special but there's nothing about this particular minifigure that screams uh special at all that I can see which to me is just it's it's concerning I I I not con I'm not upset I'm just saying that you know these these uh these Minifigures can only come along you know once a year effectively so I Now quickly assembled C3PO but to me as I put his bag of goodies in his hand there's nothing unique about this at all maybe maybe I like I said I have to do uh comparisons with other Santa Claus Minifigures but uh he's got a regular Santa body with his quote unquote gold hands that's not incredibly unique even his legs they're just not it's C3PO is Santa That's Unique but what I'm saying is the design of the the red the Santa uniform it's not C3 Poe unless I'm missing something and I'm sure someone who has a a finer attention to detail would be able to pick up on that so my recommendation is find an advent calendar no matter what your what you choose to celebrate I'm telling you man this is awesome this is fun I cannot wait uh to be able to uh go through every day with my daughter Jedi when she is ready ready to play with Lego bricks right now not so much she is incredibly young merry Christmas happy holidays very happy to have you here I am now going to move on to my next point that I wanted to share as I move everything out of the way to show you the chat is still there thank you head over to live. per.cup do is wear something that uh well you you could choose wear a nerdy sweater this is very nerdy it's an ugly Christmas sweater that's not ugly cuz it's Star Wars this was a gift as well it's got Darth Vader on it love it this is the only uh sweater I really have I used to love sweaters when I was in high school so how I used to dress up was with the sweaters but I don't have a lot of ugly sweaters we shared a lot of awesome geeky non-star Wars ugly sweaters on locker.com if you're looking for ideas on ugly sweat we've shared plenty of them in fact we may even link you to the articles in this video description but I assume you also subscribe to uh our newsletter which is free and we send it out every day as an update to let you know everything that we've done that is new for the day uh so get a sweater wear one just trust me people will love it I mean if they just look you know just very carefully they'll see you know how much joy you have in bringing this in public and in in being public with your nerdity yeah come on you know you thought that the LED lights were over the top no no no an ugly a quote unquote ugly holiday sweater is even better wear one if you don't have one get one and it's okay you don't have to go overboard cuz as I said I only have one the next thing I would recommend you doing is taking a look around your home or office or Workshop or whatever and see what you've got setting up right chances are you've got a figure or two an action figure possibly like one we're giving away with Sideshow Collectibles the Tai pilot which I unboxed yesterday uh I've shared information on that particular giveaway already in Social so I know you're probably paying attention so there's going to be an awesome gift for one of you here when we complete that giveaway no uh like an action figure okay so this is a just a a little Boba Fett you saw this in the Vlog the other day as we were setting up these figures and this is one it's Darth Vader but instead of a lightsaber he's got a candy cane did you notice that with Boba fed he's got lights on his gun and uh then there's Luke Skywalker he's got presents on his lightsaber and a Santa cap so decorate your figures decorate what's already there you don't need to like replace them you don't need to add anything you know beyond what you have but you can add things too you can accessorize and I think accessorizing is awesome you accessorize accessorize accessorize do it because it's so easy now you might ask where do I get these tiny things oh you can go to a craft shop they have tons of them tons of them so just you know just add a little you know wreath to something or you know a little uh uh Santa cap to something else and it doesn't take much for you to transform what is normally there like a figure or some kind of Decor you suddenly holiday it so easy to do so so easy and it puts everybody in the spirit I mean especially you when you see it like oh it's a sand cap on a on Luke Skywalker that is so adorable you don't have to glue it on or anything and then after the season you can take it off you can remove the present uh from his uh uh uh from his lightsaber uh see they can feel each other's presence cuz they have the force this this Santa cap is a little too small for me it's a little finger puppet size there okay so that's the next thing then after that I recommend doing what I do every year that I tell you some adults get a kick out of it I've seen a few other uh drivers do the same thing but this is what I recommend you do put antlers on your car on your vehicle uh and then a Rudolph nose on the front you don't have to use the Rudolph nose if you want I just took this picture of uh of my car oh I got lizen to Emoji that's the best gift gift ever she didn't like Emoji I made her like I I can't make someone like Emoji but I did so uh put antlers on your car because I tell you what you're driving around the parking lot you're doing whatever you're driving uh it's awesome to see someone light up especially a kid light up when they're pointing at at your car and they're like oh look Mom it's you know it's Rudolph a car or whatever and it's fun it's it's cool to to share that joy and admittedly it is it is very geeky to go out with a car like that but uh it's one of the things I look forward to most when it comes to decorating uh take because I I take the vehicle I I drive around I do things in in the car and uh like I said the the the best part of it is seeing people's reaction to it so do it and then of course keep it I recommend keeping it until the new year so I'm going to be Rudolph until you know a week from today or so and then even after that um I I I may continue to drive the Rudolph car I've I've uh I've threatened to do that some people just they're done with the holiday spirit after Christmas I'm like no no no I I'm the person who who who who loves this time of year I do you've seen the blog now the last thing I'm going to recommend you do and this is Believe It or Not minutes before going live today and you can ask the the people who are hanging out in in chat you got emoji leggings God they put they've put every emoji on everything it's crazy um so the next thing that I'm going to show you I just received seconds ago like I mean really I'm not even joking you can ask people in chat uh no I'm not talking about the eyes that I put on the Christmas tree that I took off the Christmas tree because we put a bow up Diana got a bow so I had to do something I don't know where these eyes are going to go it's fun to put these things on Christmas trees though it's awesome I love anthropomorphization of objects I'm a fan of that I'm also a fan of the word anthropomorphization uh this okay what is this this is something that is just solid white but if I tilt it you can see oh it's a first order Stormtrooper but what's this he's got a little a little Notch there on the top of his head it's a 3D printed tree ornament 3D printed brand new just got it and uh this is actually going to be in uh in conjunction with uh something that we're doing with the company that printed these up for me um these because this is one thing here 3D printed uh Christmas ornament or holiday tree ornament they also sent a 3D printed tree with LEDs I have not plugged it in this top comes off there um have not plugged it in because I don't necessarily have the proper adapter they are not based in the US so I I have to get a different adapter for the adapter that they sent the AC adapter not running on batteries which kind of surprised me uh still kind of neat huh how's that for geeky it's a 3D printed tree or an ornament a 3D printed ornament that you can put on a tree now even if you don't have a 3D printer even if you can't design it that's the nice thing about these companies is you can just press a button and order one so we're going to be doing um you know even more with this company so stay tuned stay tuned for more information I say these because they also 3D printed uh Star Wars themed snowflakes there's C3PO as a snowflake this is not paper you could cut it out of paper if you were skilled I not uh this is a 3PO ornament 3D printed A first order Stormtrooper ornament there's that 3D printed snowflake ornaments and last but not least what can you get a Wie for Christmas when he already owns a comb what can you get in a hurry for a furry kind of friend like that to take home told you man Star Wars holiday Christmas album so uh those are the seven things that I would recommend wholeheartedly uh in in relation to what you can do to have a geek year or nerd year Christmas and it's never too late you know and even if you say well it's too late for this year dude there's going to be another Christmas okay so even if you don't have it yet

light up when they're pointing at at your car and they're like oh look Mom it's you know it's Rudolph a car or whatever and it's fun it's it's cool to to share that joy and admittedly it is it is very geeky to go out with a car like that but uh it's one of the things I look forward to most when it comes to decorating uh take because I I take the vehicle I I drive around I do things in in the car and uh like I said the the the best part of it is seeing people's reaction to it so do it and then of course keep it I recommend keeping it until the new year so I'm going to be Rudolph until you know a week from today or so and then even after that um I I I may continue to drive the Rudolph car I've I've uh I've threatened to do that some people just they're done with the holiday spirit after Christmas I'm like no no no I I'm the person who who who who loves this time of year I do you've seen the blog now the last thing I'm going to recommend you do and this is Believe It or Not minutes before going live today and you can ask the the people who are hanging out in in chat you got emoji leggings God they put they've put every emoji on everything it's crazy um so the next thing that I'm going to show you I just received seconds ago like I mean really I'm not even joking you can ask people in chat uh no I'm not talking about the eyes that I put on the Christmas tree that I took off the Christmas tree because we put a bow up Diana got a bow so I had to do something I don't know where these eyes are going to go it's fun to put these things on Christmas trees though it's awesome I love anthropomorphization of objects I'm a fan of that I'm also a fan of the word anthropomorphization uh this okay what is this this is something that is just solid white but if I tilt it you can see oh it's a first order Stormtrooper but what's this he's got a little a little Notch there on the top of his head it's a 3D printed tree ornament 3D printed brand new just got it and uh this is actually going to be in uh in conjunction with uh something that we're doing with the company that printed these up for me um these because this is one thing here 3D printed uh Christmas ornament or holiday tree ornament they also sent a 3D printed tree with LEDs I have not plugged it in this top comes off there um have not plugged it in because I don't necessarily have the proper adapter they are not based in the US so I I have to get a different adapter for the adapter that they sent the AC adapter not running on batteries which kind of surprised me uh still kind of neat huh how's that for geeky it's a 3D printed tree or an ornament a 3D printed ornament that you can put on a tree now even if you don't have a 3D printer even if you can't design it that's the nice thing about these companies is you can just press a button and order one so we're going to be doing um you know even more with this company so stay tuned stay tuned for more information I say these because they also 3D printed uh Star Wars themed snowflakes there's C3PO as a snowflake this is not paper you could cut it out of paper if you were skilled I not uh this is a 3PO ornament 3D printed A first order Stormtrooper ornament there's that 3D printed snowflake ornaments and last but not least what can you get a Wie for Christmas when he already owns a comb what can you get in a hurry for a furry kind of friend like that to take home told you man Star Wars holiday Christmas album so uh those are the seven things that I would recommend wholeheartedly uh in in relation to what you can do to have a geek year or nerd year Christmas and it's never too late you know and even if you say well it's too late for this year dude there's going to be another Christmas okay so even if you don't have it yet
