This year I hung my original TOS Enterprise ornament and a selection of past Hallmark Star Trek ornaments (I even hung the Romulan Warbird - my least favorite).

The small tree in my office has nothing but miniature Hallmark Star Wars and Star Trek ornaments - and I have them all!

I think I need to license Star Trek for Menorahs.
Not that I'm jewish, I just think maybe Jewish Trek fans are an underserved market this time of year...

How dare those big-box retailers call it a Holiday Tree! It's a Christmas Tree dammit! And nothing puts the "Christ" back into Christmas like Star Trek, Star Wars, The 3 Stooges, and Godzilla.

Damn this war on Christmas!!!
I'll hide behind the 12,000 dollars worth of Christmas presents around the tree and defend Christmas to the ends of the earth.
We must defend the freedom of Christmas for the corporations that NEED our money, that is what Christmas is all abo....oh, thats right it's a religious holiday. Silly me, I could have sworn it was all about greed. Lord knows what I was thinking.

I thought it was called X-Mas. Too close to X-men to me.
I have my Hallmark Darth Vader, and the Guardian of Forever. That is it, now I fell so damn inadequate.

I remember as a child, we used the Christmas tree, as the big seaweed monster from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. We got the Seaview toy sub.
So to relive my childhood, I am going to play with my Seaview model, and attack the big ugly seaweed monster, that looks like a Christmas tree. :freak:

Several years ago my sci-fi ornament collection was becoming so large it was taking over the main tree. So, I now have a separate sci-fi tree with Trek, Star Wars and real-space ornaments. Here's a link to several views.

jheilman, I gotta ask - where did you get that Mercury capsule ornament?

I've got a couple Trek ornaments, but it's just so tacky to put them on the tree.....but if they ever make a Kirk/Spock/McCoy in wisemen outfits, they're going into the Nativity scene!

Just call me tacky then :)

The Mercury is from Hallmark. It's Friendship 7 and has a cockpit with John Glenn inside. It also plays audio from Glenn. Some of my favorites are the real-space series from Hallmark. Gemini, Mercury, Apollo LEM and Lunar rover.

Haven't purchased any of this year's ornaments yet. I generally get them as presents. I have two Vaders on the tree. The talking version is all the way at the bottom as it's so heavy, it needs a thick part of the branch to hook to.

I do have the original TSO Enterprise 1991 ornament, but it's locked in the fireproof safe. My 7-year-old loves all the talking ornaments, especially the Star Wars items.

Yikes. I have the TOS E, but I put it out when I decorate. It isn't THAT valuable...replacements are on eBay all the time.

My tree is strong in the Dark Side......

I have all of the Hallmark Darth Vader ornaments, plus all of the new Vader ornaments that came out this year from other companies. I also have two glass Vader ornaments from Christopher Radko that were made several years back.

Do you have the M&M Vader? I saw a bunch of ornaments at Walgreens of the M&M characters dressed as Star Wars characters.

Well, the prices have fallen. The last time I looked, they were selling for $200 plus. Even so, $120 is a big chunk of change to me.

I usually load up the tree with STAR TREK ornaments.

This year I have the REFIT and one Klingon Bird of Prey
on opposite sides of the tree.
