The Solar System For Your Christmas Tree

Via Nerd Approved and Geek X Girls:

Putting a star on top of a Christmas tree is a longstanding tradition, but now you can put the planets and even the sun on your tree, too.  A new set of ornaments from Glass Sculpture Org. includes "Earth" and "Mars", each with polar caps, "Jupiter" with a red spot, and "Saturn" with rings.  The "Sun" is not a plain yellow sphere, but a multicolored orb that includes sunspots.  Some purists might object, but "Pluto" is included, even through it's no longer classified as a planet.  If I have one complaint, it's that "Uranus" is not tilted on its side.  Perhaps a tinsel garland made of "asteroids" might be worthy of future consideration.
