Have yourself an ironic Christmas

I’ve talked about A Charlie Brown Christmas before and how its message decrying the commercialization of Christmas resonates just as much today as it did when the special first aired in 1965.

It is then ironic, to say the least, that you may now purchase this:

Charlie Brown Christmas tree with blanket

Yes, you can buy a plastic replica of the humble tree Charlie Brown picked out–the only real tree in the lot where he and Linus went looking.

It’s only $8.62 U.S. That’s just over $10 Canadian, a bargain for those looking to simultaneously pay tribute to and mock the message of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Ho ho (no).
