A gamer has channeled their love for video games into the holiday spirit by creating an impressive 8-Bit Christmas tree inspired by some of the most classic video game franchises. Since video games and Christmas seemingly going hand-in-hand, it's no surprise that the two have come together in a classic holiday decoration.
With Christmas just a few days away, many gamers have been getting into the holiday spirit in a variety of creative ways. One way to celebrate the holidays in a unique way is to combine one's love of gaming with the traditional Christmas decoration staples. Earlier this week a Pokemon fan created a festive Christmas tree inspired by the franchise. This isn't the only game themed Christmas tree to hit the internet this week. With the help of their wife, a Reddit user has shared their merry creation to the site.
A Reddit user known by the name Tsterrebonne shared a picture of their festive 8-Bit inspired Christmas tree on r/Gaming. The tree is covered with classic video game characters that reference many popular games like Animal Crossing, Super Mario, Zelda, and even Duck Hunt. Even more impressive is the fact that each ornament on the tree is handmade. According to Tsterrebone, they have been working on the handmade ornaments with their wife since Thanksgiving.
Tsterrebone's tree is just one example of the many ways video game fans have turned their love of gaming into a fun way to help celebrate the holidays, whether it's house decorations or festive Skyrim mods. With each ornament being handmade, the passion and love for gaming shines through when looking at the picture posted on Reddit. The time and effort taken to bring this Christmas tree to life is a truly impressive homage to gaming. It's clear from looking at the picture that each ornament was meticulously formed in order to make the final product something special to share.
With many people using their Christmas trees to showcase their love of gaming, like this viral tree made from game cases, it shows that using unorthodox ways to decorate for the season can create an end result that is truly special. Unique ways to create a one-of-a-kind decoration can hold special value when getting into the holiday spirit. Through the years, gamers creating their own decorations will serve as great holiday memories. Hand making decorations inspired by gaming can also build great new holiday traditions to prepare for each year.
