How about a Devilfish themed tree? Skinny girls in revealing bikinis, cans of Budweiser ornaments, a Kotters wife ornament. And, for a touch of the macabre, body part ornaments from D’fishs victims.
And for the topper, a Caribbean girl that mumbles incoherently when you press her belly.
The christmas ornament of the gods, of course.
*8^D
Now that the obvious one is out of the way…
The Space Church would be a nice table-top decoration; Stella and Elle with snow flocking holding hands.
The Bellarians’ glowing ball for a light-up ornament.
The Laserblast necklace control-thingie for another light up ornament.
A Crawling Eye.
Martian ornaments set, featuring all your favorite characters from “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.” Kimar, Voldar, Hargo, Rigna, and of course Dropo, Bomar, Girmar, and “Big” John Call as Santa.
Collect them all!
I want a pear-shaped Douglas in a crappy spacecraft.
____________
(And if I were fully awake, I’d try for the 12 Days of MST3k, but that might have to wait until later today. Or tomorrow. Or it might not happen.)
V-shaped Diamond-Encrusted Mummy Communicator Type Things.
All around the lowest level of branches, for the cats to play with.
You could always decorate the tree like Mitchell…

How about a Fugitive Alien Themed ornament?
You could hang it on your Christmas tree along with all of the “Star Trek Stuff” already hanging there.
Santa driving a Forklift?
Here’s what I’d want.
Cherokee Jack’s plane.
Hang gliding Ator.
Miniature portrait of the Master and his dog.
Mega Weapon.
Evil toy monkey that sings “Rock’n’Roll Martian”.
And at the top of the tree, Wilbur the guardian angel from “Once Upon A Honeymoon”.
We already have several musical instrument ornaments on our tree (I play the trumpet, kids play clarinet, sax, keyboard), so what else but a Mr. B. Natural to go with them?
SECOND BANANAS ON THE TREE –
Think of all the second bananas in the MST3K Universe. They would make great figurines to decorate the tree. TV’s Frank would top the tree, of course. He would have an automatic recording saying “OWIE! OW! OW!” (think about where that tree top goes… never mind). Tim from Boggy Creek II would be another candidate as a homemade decoration made from pipe cleaners. Droppo from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians would come in both the Santa dressed version and the original. “Ho-Ho-Ho!” Torgo! How could we forget Torgo? Use your Bic lighter to customize his little hand. The list could go on to decorate even the largest tree, but now it is your turn to ascend to Second Banana heaven.
That’s lovely. Brings a tear to my eye, and also inspires me to suggest the Rowsdower-themed tree: It’s shiny and best of all, it’s cheap, because most of the ornaments are empty crumpled beer cans on hangers. Topping the tree is the Polaroid photo of the Who-The-Hell-Is-That-Woman from Zap’s dashboard. But wait! What’s that sound? There are carolers at the door, the French-Canadian group called The Ziox Chorus, singing their biggest hits, “Merde!,” “Zut Alors!,” and “Je Suis Mort.”
Yep, I’m in the Christmas spirit now!
I don’t have much experience with ornaments, even after 20+ years with my Gentile partner. But I’d really like a Satellite of Love Dreidel. Cambot for Nun, Gypsy for Gimel [because she gives her all for the SOL and so she should take the whole pot], Tom Servo for Hey, and Crow for Shin.
the ‘Riding with Death’ Tree…
adorned tastefully with Matchbox ‘oo-ee!!’ NASCAR clunkers, wristwatches of power, silver and gold balls adorned with head shots of your favorite New England journalists, tiny semi trucks and moving vans. for the top a large plump paper mache turkey!
and if you don’t have the heart or will power to throw it out come mid March, that gram of Dutrium that the elusive Robert Denby placed in the turkey topper will take care of your little tree problem for you. poof!
A Creeping Terror garland.
Fish, cider jug, shed, Sudafed police car light, Maverick, and lots of walnuts.
Maybe a THIS ISLAND EARTH tree. Basically, I would “increase the Flash Gordon noise and put more science stuff around”.
I might hang a Bethagram, to ward off demons named Beth.
Besides Crow, Servo and Gypsy ornaments, of course…
A Gizmonic “G”.
Empty bottles of every type of booze, and dogs wearing carpet samples.
The Creeping Terror would make an excellent tree skirt.
Tom Servo would be the perfect shape for a tree topper.
Just watched The First Spaceship on Venus again last night; the title ship would make the perfect tree topper, if just a mite tacky. (Dangerous, too, if there were flames coming out of the top like at the end of the movie.) Marlinus’s crown from Outlaw, of course, is, as Servo points out, already a fine Christmas tree star, too.
I would like a set of glittery glass ornaments replicating Jan in the Pan and The Thing That Wouldn’t Die; the Gideon Drew head could be mechanized with Christmas carols playing as he moves his lips in slow motion. (“De-e-ck … the … ha-a-alls … with … …”) Bad little boys and girls could be have their trees decorated with shiny replicas of the nightmare-fuel mechanical Santa from the store window in Santa Claus and the frightful, thuggish Santa from The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t.
Beverly Garland?
Can’t forget to have a “Night Train to Mundo Fine” going around underneath the Christmas tree.
A garland idea: the unspooled film from the show openings shown during the “We’ll send him cheesy movies, the worst… they can find (la-la-la)” parts.
Or, if those are unavailable, “The Castle of Fu Manchu”.
Flying Gamera, Prince of Space’s ship, an ornament of the Manos painting and a Hallmark Mitchell come to mind.
The million eyes of Sumuru.
The spaceship from “eht namuH srotacilpuD”/”The Human Duplicators”. The riff at the beginning said it was a Christmas ornament from the 60’s.
Well, she IS good in everything.
Those beers are WAY too fancy for Mitchell. They should be Schlitz cans.
I’d go with the “Fairy Snow Queen” set. The Snow Queen would be at the top of the tree (of course) with the rest of the characters (Snoopy, Candy Lion, the annoying jack-in-the-box guy, and the rest) hanging normally. You could also have a huge bored Santa inflatable to sit in the corner.
“Hey, I’m experiencing a sensation altogether new to me, and frankly, I LOVE IT!”
but there was no Christmas Ornament….
And when you’re done decorating you can relax with a big old slice of the traditional Lemon Käinen.
I would like the Christmas on the Borg Cube from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. Also the floating TV’s Frank would make a good ornament.
Dropo “Claus” hanging from the star at the top of the tree by the saggy seat of his Santa suit.
The various spaceships as ornaments: The Neptune Men’s Pierogies of Death, The Christmas Ornament of the (Puma) Gods, Prince of Space’s adorable li’l Space Coupe and Krankor’s Black Dragon, and so on.
Finally, a Nativity scene with Crow and the Virgin Gypsy watching over the Baby Servo, swaddled in a halved oil drum, attended by the Three Wise Guys–Joel, Mike and Jonah bearing gifts of RAM chips, a jug of Tripolidine and a tank of piranhas.
have a bunch of those pesky rubber spiders left over from halloween? ‘do what i do…’ have a ‘Giant Spider Invasion’ all over your christmas tree.
My tree would be Tree! aka Lovejoy. Upon this Tree I would hang a Little Billy puppet, a Mike sprite, a Trumpy egg, the collectors edition of The Christmas Ornament of the Gods – the one with Vidinho’s face on it, a foxy biker chick’s Ginzu Bra Snappler, some General Perry Turkey Legs and an Old Milwaukee beer can. The star will be Radar! That ball radar thing you put on your car when hunting criminals. A homemade garland made from the various tasty looking flying space clusters seen in a few movies. Add some lead tinsel from the 60’s and we’re done.
I’d have an ornament shaped like the planet, Metaluna all pock-marky looking with special LED lights built inside so the planet glows with “radiation”. And the LEDs would have a timer so the ornament changes the level of light they give off so it would go from radiation to a new star “Yet still serving some useful purpose I hope. Giving life to those who may need it.” And so forth.
I think the complete set of die-cast metal vehicles from Star Crash would make lovely Christmas tree ornaments. Collect them all!
Or, the Swiss Army Planet… but that could be dangerous.
Or maybe Pabst Blue Ribbon.
How bout a Jan-in-a-Pan hanging from the tree?
Never mind, this isn’t Halloween…… :D
PBR’s are the big Millennial domestic. :)
Coily. He hides among the branches and as soon as HE lights up all the other lights go out! NO PEACE & JOY!!! heee hee heeEEEEEEeeeee….!!
a Sampo.
Father Mushroom, of course!
Also, enjoy the great taste of wassale in cans.
