The GABAGOOL Ornament
Straight from New York, the GABAGOOL Christmas Ornament celebrates everything we love about loud kitchens, family dinners, and Sunday sauce. Each piece is deli-labeled, just like a real slice of gabagool — only funnier, and ready to hang on your tree. Guaranteed to make Grandma laugh louder than anyone at Christmas dinner.
If you say “gah-bah-GOOL”, you need this ornament
gabagool (noun)
Pronunciation: /ˈɡɑːbəˌɡul/ — gah-bah-GOOL
Definition:
- (noun) The Italian-American pronunciation of capicola, a beloved cured meat found in every respectable New York deli and every Nonna’s fridge.
- (cultural) A cornerstone of Italian-American identity; often discussed loudly over kitchen tables throughout New York, New Jersey, and beyond.
- (holiday magic) Now immortalized as a Christmas tree ornament — because nothing says Merry Christmas like cured meat you can’t actually eat.
Example:
“Ma, look! I got a gabagool ornament for the tree!”
“You what?! Oh my gawd, that’s beautiful. Get two more for Aunt Marie.”
