All right! The Sithmas tree is up, the outside lights are nearly complete, decoration inside is almost finished…it’s very Sithmas-y in the James household!
Here, have some pic!spam of the Making of the Sithmas Tree:
Step One: Put on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Step Two:
Assemble artificial black tree. String red lights around tree.

The Sithmas Tree, up and lit, but not yet decorated.
Top with Lord Vader nightlight (lit with red Sithmas bulb).

It’s a nightlight I put a red Sithmas bulb into. He’s my angel. What? (Forgive me, Lord Vader.)
Step Three:
Decorate the Sithmas tree with your ornaments. Give Lord Vader a lightsaber if you have one (if you’re putting up a Sithmas tree, you should have a lightsaber). Sing along with “Making Christmas” from the DVD as you decorate.

Decorate!
Some of my ornaments:

Every Sithmas tree needs a Lord Vader ornament or three.

Of COURSE I have a Lord Vader ornament! (Or three.)
Step Four:
Enjoy the beautiful red glow of your Sithmas Tree!
So there you have it! Sithmas cards will be going out by the end of the week. I have my Sithmas countdown calendars up and counting down.

The Sithmas countdown calendar in my office. In Santa’s bag there are little ornaments to stick on each day as they’re counted down.
Now I just need to finish shopping, knitting, wrapping, parceling, posting….
Merry Sithmas!
