A big part of the fun of having a Christmas tree is the accumulation of ornaments that mean something to you over the years, like the glitter and construction paper number your nephew made at school, or the sparkly octopus your fiancé gave you because he knows octopuses are your favorite animal besides dogs.
But this year, there exists a rare opportunity to commemorate a momentous historic moment for our nation, the election of one Donald J. Trump, with a Christmas tree ornament celebrating his unlikely ascent and ultimate victory.
And now you can do so for under a hundred bucks.
Earlier this week, the entity formerly known as the Trump/Pence campaign announced a reduced price on its "commemorative" Christmas ornament, which is a small, porcelain, 24 karat gold-finished replica of the red "Make America Great Again" hats. (Find reviews of this tremendous item here.)
Instead of the original $149 price tag, the ornaments are now only $99.
It's a brilliant concept, like having a horrifying little Trump rally in your living room every evening throughout the holidays, the audience being a nut/cracker, white Santa, white Baby Jesus and the Three Wise White Supremacist Men. The Virgin Mary can attend too, but only if she's above a 7 and changes out of that dumpy outfit.
What better way is there to have a perennial recollection of the moment it all began to fall apart?
And now they're even more affordable.
The best news?
The more you buy, the more you save.
Buy two and the price drops to $79 apiece.
Want three? $59.
The price doesn't seem to drop after that, but a ten-pack for $590 is still quite the steal.
