15 Geektastic Christmas Ornaments to Satisfy Your Inner Nerd
There are two ways to decorate a Christmas tree. First, you can pick a theme (monochromatic, tropical) and create a seamless spread with baubles and decor that fit perfectly with your cohesive vision. Second, you can create a sort of… “scrapbook tree,” with baubles and Christmas ornaments that represent your hobbies, hilarious anecdotes and gifted presents throughout the years. Either way, you need holiday ornaments that speak to your personal interests. If you’re a fellow geek, here are 15 nerdy Christmas ornaments sure to satisfy your inner fangirl.
