    I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who got trauma from this thing as a toddler in the late 90’s. It’s like a rite of passage.

    My teacher had one of these. He would set it up on the cabinet at the end of the classroom and would send one of us to get something from it.
    It came to an end when one of the students got so startled, he swiped it off in a fluid motion, breaking the dang thing.
    RIP Douglas Fir. We hardly knew ye.

    Fun fact about this thing. My family has had this my whole life. When I was little it scared me so much I’d cry. One year it was on a bookcase right outside my room. I was so scared I peed the bed because I didn’t want to go outside my room at night with it there. I’m in my twenties now and it still give me the creeps.

Nothing funnier than watching a football game around Christmas with all the commentary coming from this tree ‘s mouth with it’s eyes blinking at seemingly appropriate times.

    My family bought a Gemmy Douglas Fir when he first came out and my brother Daniel and I never found him creepy, honestly. Maybe he gave us or Christmas guests a start when he greeted unexpectedly and then started singing. I could have sworn though if ours moved and operated more like an animatronic Muppet and was more uncannily naturalistic in his movement, like squeezing his eyes tight while singing “Up On The Housetop”. Then again, he was fairly new compared to this one in the video.

    ...I think I know where my fear of animatronics started from now. I think it's mostly the eyes, but also how the mouth moves and looks too where the 'tongue' doesn't cover it up makes me uncomfortable even as an adult. It just looks wrong.
