These make me happy. I have lots more - I’ll add them asap.
From Sharon in Milwaukie:
I just wanted to email and share my and my fiance’s Holiday Tree complete with FSM tree topper. Please see the attached pictures. Have a Happy Holiday!
RAmen!
From Amy:
Greetings!
I wanted to send you pictures of the lovely FSM holiday tree my son and I designed and decorated today.As has been noted previously in blog discussions, it is possible that Christian usage of the “ball”-type ornament to decorate their holiday trees actually originated as an homage to His divine meatballs and that the garlands or strands of lights used on Christian holiday trees are in fact merely a representation of His noodly appendages. With that in mind, my son Brian and I used white rope lights draped vertically to resemble pasta, and ornament-balls in several meatball-type colors (reds, browns, bronzes).
The tree topper is handmade by Brian, as are the other FSM ornaments on this holiday tree. FYI: I took the pictures today but intend to obtain a pirate flag tomorrow for use as a tree “skirt.”
We really hope you enjoy this. So far, the response has been positive and everyone has respectfully allowed us the freedom to express our religious beliefs at this special time of year.
Thanks for your time.
RAmen.
From Scott:
Here are pictures of some of our ornaments that will adorn our Holiday tree, as well as a wreath for our front door.
From Jim:
Here are some shots of the FSM tree topper I made this year for the holidays.
Hope you and the other faithful enjoy!
From Molly:
Under normal circumstances, there’s a pirate fish in my window. However, my roommate and I decided to decorate our dorm room for the holidays, and I felt obligated, seeing as we’re on the first floor and all.
Happy Holiday!
From Tiffany:
Hi, I just wanted to send you a picture of the Merry Christmas and Happy Noodle Year—FSM that I made as a holiday decoration. It’s hanging on the side of my house, holding a banner that says, “Merry Christmas and Happy Noodle Year!” The picture was taken before the banner was hung, but ENJOY!

From Danny:
Hi Everybody, I live in Mexico and I have a 4 year old son, and he wanted a star on the tree, but I told him we are not going to put a star … instead we are puting a FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! ohhh and he was so happy we put it together with some shoe laces, brown paper and white glue, I told heim we are the only ones here in Morelia(where I live that have a FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!!!

“it is possible that Christian usage of the “ball”-type ornament to decorate their holiday trees actually originated as an homage to His divine meatballs and that the garlands or strands of lights used on Christian holiday trees are in fact merely a representation of His noodly appendages”
.
That brilliant insight had slipped by me sofar. But now that you say it, yes of course! It’s so perfectly logical. Nice to see that the misguided christians are at least a little touched by His noodly appendages. RAmen and merry chriFSMas everyone.
Absolutely fantastic - if I had a christmas tree, I would do the same. Happy Holiday everyone!
A few more pics of our (Scott from the original article) decorations can be found here:

We will be adding pics of our finished tree in the next few days.
These are awesome, as always.
Thanks for sharing
Darn. I just have a glittery star on my tree. Not nearly as cool as all of you creative Pastafarians out there.
Well done! Gave me some ideas for next year. Merry Chrifsmas, everyone!
Even the Xmas tree itself, having many branches that splay out in various directions, is reminiscent of His Noodly Nature. Could this be some Jungian archetype at play?
A Merry ChriFSMas to all Pastafarians out there. Love the decorations. May you all be further touched by his noodly appendages.
These artists are truly guided by His Noodly Appendages. It is all so beautiful. I forget what my art history teacher said about folk art and culture (should have layed off the grog), but this self-expression is definitely a good thing for Pastafarianism.
Wow! They’re great. His Noddlyness is so blessed to have such wonderful followers. :)
Special kudos for Amy and Brian’s tree and Scott’s wreath. Have a great ChriFMSmas everyone.
Is David Letterman a Pastafarian? He does the meatball on top off the tree thing every year.
RAmen.
I forgot about that Letterman tradition. He must, at least subconsciously, be trying to pay homage to His Noodleness.
Kudos to you guys, you’re so creative.
@Scooter, I hope those elders from LDS were as respectful of you as I’m sure that you were of them.R’Amen to all.
RAmen!
Brillaint stuff.

HAPPY HOLIDAY one and all!

RAmen, my fervent pirate kin!
