Weird Christmas Chess Stuff

Christmas is a time of giving....

Who are we kidding? Christmas is a time for getting presents, and maybe you want to find some chess-themed items in your stocking, like this chess face mask...

...but your enthusiastic friends and family, who may not really understand your chess obession, might get it a little wrong and think you'll be thrilled with the peanut butter and graham cracker chess set, pictured above, or this lovely chess set featuring blue penguins and strange horse-like creatures.

Imagine the look of anticipation on their faces as they hand you a book about how to carve your own chess pieces from wood.

Or how about this not-particularly-convincing chess set of characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Your Christmas cake dessert will be no good for eating or playing chess, but will make a nice Instagram photo while you nibble at your peanut butter and graham cracker chess set.

But it's the thought that counts, so cheer up and wear your Christmas sweater like a good sport.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
