People who tried (and failed) to get into the Christmas spirit
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year for some people, but it also seems to be the time of the year that the most stuff goes wrong.
Turkeys are burned, so your in-laws are left unfed when they come to the house for Christmas dinner; kids break their presents an hour after unwrapping them; and the dog manages to tear through all the presents before you even get to Christmas Eve.
Pure Disappointment
Imagine the excitement you felt on Christmas morning when you were 11 years old.
Only to have your hopes dashed when you unwrap a dress shirt that you’re already wearing.
Should We Be Encouraging Arson?
Either someone wasn’t paying attention when they were putting up the signs for this display, or someone felt like wreaking a little havoc during the Christmas season.
Either way, arson is now encouraged in this store.
Stick To The Basics
You want your Christmas card to be a memorable one, but how far are you willing to go to achieve that perfect photo?
This woman, arguably, went a little too far and the goats didn’t tolerate it.
Kill Two Birds With One Stone
Why would anyone have the need to have a joint Christmas card to give to their boyfriend and their brother? Don’t those two each deserve their own card?
Some things are best kept separate.
Christmas Morning Came Early
Oh, you thought that you and the kids were coming downstairs to unwrap all your presents on Christmas morning? Well, you thought wrong.
These three beat you to it, but they’re claiming it wasn’t them.
Sending A Message This Christmas
A 24-year-old woman who lives at home with her parents received luggage and a very clear message for Christmas last year.
The time has come for her to move out.
He Asked For Beats
I can only imagine the look on the child’s face who unwrapped this present thinking that they were getting Beats headphones, only to find root vegetables strapped to a headband instead.
Their parents are hilarious.
The Scent Of Sibling Rivalry
If you’re going to leave one child in charge of buying the gift for your parent, you should probably make sure that they have some supervision.
Otherwise Rachel will end up buying this candle for your mom.
They Don’t Understand Culture
You’d think that the lamp from A Christmas Story would be a recognizable decoration to put in the front window.
However after this person had multiple neighbors ask what it was, including one who asked why they had a “gross leg” in the window, they realized they’d been mistaken.
He Gained A Couple Of Christmas Pounds
There must be some way to ensure that your festive creations don’t expand in the oven, but this woman clearly wasn’t in on that secret.
Her snowman went from the cute, friendly variety to the abominable kind.
Maybe You Should Paint It
There’s no way that whoever designed this Christmas tree didn’t know exactly what they were doing.
No one could think that this would resemble an actual tree, no matter how many lights they wrap around it.
He Said Please
Of all the Christmas decorations you could put on your lawn or hang up in your house, this is probably one we’d skip over.
Someone should have gotten a second opinion before designing this…
Does He Live At The North Pole Too?
Funny, we didn’t know that Satan also was on the hunt for cookies on Christmas Eve, but we’re not exactly surprised.
Who doesn’t enjoy cookies with a glass of milk before bed?
Maybe The Bank Will Understand
Let’s hope some nice bank teller understands what it’s like to be an excited kid on Christmas and accepts that you ripped your present in half while trying to open the envelope.
Little bit of tape and this thing is good as new.
Way To Ruin The Surprise
Normally, if you’re trying to keep something a secret or surprise someone, you wouldn’t opt to wrap it in clear plastic, but who are we to tell someone how to do their job?
Maybe the true surprise is the journey to the Refund desk.
The Other Olaf
This version of Olaf looks like he’s been taken over by the Other Mother from Coraline.
If you brought that ornament into your house, you’re guaranteed to be inviting some unwanted spirits along with it.
It’s Better Than A Poke In The Eye With A Sharp Stick… Oh, Wait
So, we’ve just decided that reindeer no longer have the need for eyes, and we’ve chosen to replace them with antlers? Okay, great.
That doesn’t look like it’d be uncomfortable at all.
Mixed Messaging
So has your dog been good all year because he hasn’t been tempted to fight with any of the cats in his neighborhood, or did we mix up the merchandise here?
Maybe this cat represents the dog facing its fears.
Welcome To The Family
For Christmas this year, Allison finally received a stocking on the mantel at her mother-in-law’s house, but she also received a side of passive-aggression along with it.
Maybe next year she can ask for an upgrade.
Taking Bottomless Eggnog Literally
No matter how much you love egg nog, no one loves it enough to not be upset if the bottom of the bottle breaks off, soaking everything on the table in egg nog.
That smell is never leaving that room.
There Goes Christmas Dinner
Whoever was riding on that hoverboard apparently needs a lot more practice before they take it out into the public, unless they want to ride around destroying everything in their path.
You never know what Christmas morning will bring.
Interesting Design Choice
Some things simply don’t need to have a holiday pattern on them.
The designer should have stopped after the red and white stripes, but they just had to add Santa to the pants.
Those Lights Look Sharp
Note to self: Don’t zoom out while attempting to take a photo of your recently decorated Christmas tree unless you want it to look like you’re traveling through space and time.
So cool though.
Christmas Is Canceled
Clearly, the family dog didn’t like that the Christmas tree was suddenly the thing to admire when people came to visit, so he took out the competition.
He also tore up his bed for fun and is requesting a new one from Santa.
Spot The Difference
A lot of people love to bake at Christmas or try out new festive desserts, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should.
Some things are better left to the professionals.
