Before you read any further, no, we haven’t got any copies of the Anarchist Cookbook laying around and no, we’re not talking about obliterating nature with a mixture of styrofoam and unnamed evil materials.  We’re talking about shaking your grinch-like vibe and making strangers smile with silly decorations.

Tree bombing around Christmas time is particularly pertinent. It’s easy! Just grab some tinsel, make your own decorations, or even fill some bon bons with weird surprises for passers by. We went to the cheap shop to stock up on decorations and made some some of our own by printing out hilarious pictures of people dressed in Santa outfits and gluing them to card then tying a string through the top – things like the guy from Twisted Sister, Destiny’s Child, a cute bulldog, Tim Heidecker and Chevy Chase among others.

Whether you’re a killjoy who likes to boycott Christmas or a lover of all things festive, tree bombing is sure to put a smile on someone’s face, even if it is twisted, sister.
