Are you tired of decking your halls with boughs of holly? Have we got the solution for you. Thanks to some lady at the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Illinois, you can now decorate your halls --and whatever else you fancy -- with reindeer poop! You know, because nothing says Christmas like a tree full of turds!

According to the Chicago Tribune, Susie Ohley, the marketing director for the Miller Park Zoo, collects reindeer dung from work and takes it home, where she lovingly fashions beautiful Christmas ornaments out of the piles of pilfered poop.

And then -- and this is the best part, if you ask this blogger -- she sells them. And people BUY THEM. With actual money. Seriously.

Call me crazy, but I can think of a much easier way to decorate one's tree with doodie, and it doesn't require a middle man or $5. I'm just saying ...

Anyway, here's how it's done. The dung is collected, and then it is dried, painted and sometimes rolled in glitter (why not?!).

Ohley calls her doodoo trinkets "magical reindeer gem ornaments."

Hmmm ... magical ... yes ...

And here's a little tidbit for your TMI trivia file:

Ohley said many people are surprised at how small her magical gems are.

Apparently, reindeer doodles are only about the size of marbles.

Good to know.

Reindeer pooh is different from white tailed deer pooh which looks brown peas......I demand an investigation, she might be ripping of the public cause this looks like dog pooh of which I am an expert because I have cleaned up a lot of that in my day.....

Little kids all across America are getting a collective case of the giggles.

The idiots who buy it deserve what they get.

Don’t eat the Christmas tree ornaments.

I’ve heard of Zoo Doo fertilizer.

I think I’ll give it a pass but on second thought it would be perfect for my liberal SIL.
