The True Spirit of Christmas? Competition.

A lot of people don’t realize this, but when the star of Bethlehem first popped up, most people were like, “Man, I should totally go pay my respects but I’m kind of busy right now.” And so everybody just stayed home. But then this one guy decided he’d better go, and he decided to pick up a six pack along the way. But then one of his friends noticed he was going and he didn’t want to look bad by comparison, so he said, “Hey, I’m going with,” and he brought a bottle of wine. But then when a third friend joined them, and he had a wrapped present, well, they had to all bring presents. And that is the story of Christmas.

Competition is good and leads to a more joyous season, so we would like you to join our Double Fine Holiday Ornament Contest!



Bust out the hot glue and Styrofoam and try not to hurt yourself while you create a DF-themed ornament. Post the results here, and you might just win something awesome.

There’s one catch: To collect the prize, the winner will have to mail their ornament to Double Fine, where it shall be hung for its crimes on the Double Fine Pagan Worship Tree, alongside hand-made ornaments by jolly Double Fine employees. Have I said Double Fine enough yet? Double Fine, Double Fine, Double Fine!

Here are some of those beauties for inspiration.


Here are the official rules, for terrorfication.

Now get to it! I heard your friends have already started! You don’t want to look bad!

You can expect my entry soon. I may not be good at cutting up an innocent pumpkin, but I can wreak havoc on styrofoam and felt!

Cheating?? What? /sarcasm

Oh, I get it.. You just don’t want the Double Fine Action Holiday Tree falling over from the sheer weight of my Double Fine Action Faceplate’s -awesomeness- !

Btw, I understand what you meant. I was just putting it up for fun anyway. Good luck everyone and have fun!

Will you only be taking the winner’s ornaments?
I’d like to send mine your way regardless of my winning/non winning status.
My gift to you guys, for being so awesome!
But I understand if you’d rather not.
I’m sure you would have quite the pile if you just took everyone’s stuff.
