Top 10 (Totally Non-denominational) Holiday Season Products

'Tis the season to start planning for the season to be jolly. Winter is just around the corner with all of its trademark holidays, and you know what that means—spending too much money on gifts, awkward familial interactions, and socks, socks, socks. We're just going to come out and say what everyone is thinking: the holidays kind of suck. You finally get some time off from work, only to be stuck traveling, talking with relatives who are best kept distant and telling your mother-in-law that she didn't overcook dinner, a lot of people think ham should crack when you cut it.

With all the work that goes into this relaxing time of togetherness, the last thing anyone needs to worry about is promoting their brand. To that end, we've come up with some of the best ideas for the end of the year. They're not the best way to promote your company, or the best way to promote your brand, or the best way to promote yourself. No, what we're offering is the best way to make sure you don't get invited to the next Griswold family Christmas. As far a we're concerned, that's a gift that keeps on giving.

10--It just wouldn't be the holidays without a Festivus pole. Made of aluminum, with a very high strength-to-weight ratio, it can fit perfectly in your crawl space for easy storage.

9--College dorm rooms and student films have killed Christmas lights as decor, so take it to the next level with Christmas fireworks. Nothing says "family togetherness" like exploding balls of fire in the sky.

8--Bring the Gourmet Holiday Tin from Del Rey to any family gatherings. It can be filled with treats everyone loves, such as mixed nuts, pistachios, jelly beans and more, and when your family is busy shoveling food into their mouths they aren't arguing about who Dad loves best. (It's Steve.)
