NOT THE NORTH POLE — If a professional came to decorate your home for Christmas, they would probably ask you to pick a theme.
It could be based on a favorite decoration, a color, a hobby, a travel destination, and on and on; but a theme you must pick. With all the themes you can choose, it’s probably safe to bet most pros haven’t been asked to design a monster-movie themed Christmas.
If you want monster Christmas decor, aren’t very crafty, and fear the askance looks from a pro, you might want to hire the person who is responsible for the decor in this featured video.
The scene opens on boughs of (fake) evergreens, lovingly and carefully shaped into the classic horror monster Godzilla, aka Treezilla. It’s an impressive display that looks like it’s straight of "Pee-wee’s Playhouse" (for those of us who remember that weird delight of a show).
The sculpted monster adorned with flashing lights is only the beginning. The structure also emits an unsettling growl while spewing smoke from his gaping maw as he guards his haul of Christmas presents. Additionally, the stockings that are hung by the chimney with care look like they were taken directly from Treezilla’s feet, waiting for Santa to fill them with oodles of cars to stomp.
Love it or hate it, it’s all a good reminder that there’s not just one way to decorate and celebrate Christmas. Don’t like nutcrackers? Try droids from Star Wars. Don’t like red and green? Try blue and pink. Think Santa’s a creep? Try a Mister Rogers theme.
All you need to do is follow your heart to have a merry Christmas — or, as Treezilla would say, "Rawr!"
