Happy Labor Day, Buckeye fans. I realize that most of us are still focused on football season, cookouts, and squeezing whatever is left out of summer, but Labor Day also serves as the unofficial end of summer and (even more unofficial) warning that the holiday season is lurking just around the corner.
So, naturally, it is time to start thinking about how you are going to deck the halls with as much scarlet and gray as humanly possible.
Fortunately, our friends at FOCO have a new Ohio State Buckeyes
Ornament Set Advent Calendar available to make sure that your Christmas tree has as much Buckeye spirit as it does holiday spirit. This is the type of thing that belongs in the home of anyone whose Christmas decorating philosophy can best be described as “needs more Brutus.”
Get your Buckeye Ornament Advent Calendar
The calendar comes with 12 unique, officially licensed Ohio State ornaments, each hidden behind its own advent calendar door. You get a new ornament to open each day, with designs featuring Buckeye logos, wordmarks, helmets, mascot artwork, and other holiday-themed Ohio State graphics.
The ornaments are plastic with ribbon hangers, so you can immediately move them from the calendar to your tree, office, fan cave, or wherever else you feel compelled to remind people which college football team you support.
FOCO is giving us a preview of four of the ornaments, but the rest are a surprise:
The set is listed at $40, and FOCO says preorders will ship no later than Oct. 15, giving you plenty of time to have all 12 ornaments ready before the tree goes up. So yes, it might technically still be summer, but football is back, Labor Day is here, and that means Mariah Carey is metaphorically defrosting somewhere in the distance. You might as well make sure your Christmas tree is ready for her.
