Callisters Christmas

Well, it’s the beginning of November and apparently it’s already the Christmas season as heralded by the annual reappearance of Callister’s Christmas + the arrival of Santa at Mayfair. (2013 Mayfair Santa is pretty impressive BTW, he looks like the Coca-​Cola Santa vs. Skid Row Santa)
I’m not much of a Christmas person but I was most certainly impressed at the variety of Callister’s stock. Feeling like a sports-​themed tree this year? You’ll find Packers + Badgers ornaments galore. You’d rather have a girly tree? Be assured they have ornaments shaped like lipsticks, hair dryers and high heeled shoes here. Or perhaps you want to go all out and have a Vegas themed tree? Obviously that means you already have a white fake tree with fiber optic color changing lights at home — And Callister’s thoughfully stocks ornaments shaped like casino chips, slot machines, the Vegas sign and even a Liberace style piano!
Even if you’re full up on tree décor, Callister’s sells many color changing Santa snow globes (you can never have too many of THOSE) and some of that Christmas Village stuff that everyone’s Mom seems to collect.
Normally a place that sells so many delightfully tacky items gets a four star rating at least, but it appeared that everything in here is junky imports from China. Not a fan of that. But I am tempted to go full Vegas on the tree this year.
