These Nintendo Christmas stockings will help the inner geek let loose this holiday season.
Holidays are a great time to legitimately let out the inner nerd and decorate the room, home or office in all the geeky things your heart desires. While other times, it may be overbearing for fellow friends, Christmas is a time to share and accept, so rub in all the geekiness you can muster. The 8-bit is a lovely festive homage to the old school games from the '90s and even comes with a Nintendo game controller -- no, not the actual one -- in a cute pixelated design. They say nerds are making a comeback and they definitely are. While everyone else has a normal red and white fluffy stocking on the mantel this year, all eyes will be on your cool retro stocking.
