Comical Christmas Fails That Prove It Truly Is The Best Time Of The Year
Whether you're a child or an adult, Christmas is one of the most beloved holidays. Between spending time with loved ones, decor, presents, and the food, it's the perfect way to end the year.
But, it often doesn't go according to plan, and from gift-giving and decorating mishaps to family photos that will forever live on the internet, it truly is a magical season.
"Current Relationship Status: Emily"
This family decided to do a Christmas-themed photoshoot, complete with festive red and white outfits, and red garlands.
From excited, to engaged and expecting, this family has a lot to celebrate, but none more so than Emily. Emily is confident and happy with who she is, so perhaps that's the greatest gift of all.
A Holly Jolly Death
This homeowner proudly proclaimed, "Left my Christmas lights up [and] laziness paid off for once," but another Reddit user quickly shut down their festive holiday spirit.
"You'd look so festive with a few of those sticking out of your skull," one user commented. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Pokey, The Tumbleweed Man
Move over, Frosty, there is a new snowman in town, and unlike you, this fella can withstand the Arizona heat.
If you've ever wanted to build a snowman but you live in a hot and dry state, then you have to get a little creative with building materials, and thankfully, tumbleweeds do the trick. Just nobody set a fire anywhere near him.
How The TSA Stole Christmas
Looks like this Santa Claus isn't hopping a plane to the North Pole anytime soon. Stopped by TSA agents who have a few questions regarding the contents of his belongings, this Santa has some explaining to do. "This bottle of eggnog is three ounces, I swear!"
Sorry, kids, the TSA is holding Santa in custody. Christmas is canceled!
Marvin The Unimpressed Corgi
This is Marvin. Why is this corgi staring daggers into his owner's soul? Apparently, Marvin had to go to the vet and he wasn't impressed with the tiny chair his owner made him sit in (although we bet the Christmas cow-themed bandana around his neck was a close second).
This is how short people look when they get angry (like myself). They try to look menacing, but the more annoyed the act, the funnier it is.
The Resignation Letter
Are you about to quit your job and need an in-your-face method of getting your boss' attention? It might be the holidays and this person is quitting their job, but the "P.S." portion of the letter is proof they haven't lost their holiday spirit.
Because only a monster opts out of a Christmas party that is serving free food and booze.
A Worthwhile Cause
This Christmas craft show had the right intentions with their fundraiser, but they forgot the importance of punctuation.
So I get to donate to charity and fight children? What a Sunday! I guess that's how they celebrate the holidays in Canada.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Is Christmas coming up and you forgot to run to the store to buy decorations? Did you recently celebrate a birthday and have leftover "Happy Birthday" decor? If you answered "Yes" to both questions, grab yourself a piece of paper and a marker, and consider your holiday decorations taken care of.
These decorations are Jesus and Santa approved.
Ho, Ho, Ho
Now here is one family Christmas portrait that deserves to be framed on top of the fireplace mantel and posted all over social media.
Sure, your dad is calling you a ho. But just remember that it comes from a festive place of love.
A Christmas Tree, Without The Tree
Are your local stores selling artificial Christmas trees for $400? Is it too cold and you don't want to venture outside to cut down your own tree? Then boy, do I have a solution for you!
It'll destroy your children's holiday wonder and you don't have to worry about your cat trying to knock it over. It's a win-win!
Over-The-Top Electricity Bills
After moving into this neighborhood, the homeowner on the right was warned that their next-door neighbors go all out for the holidays. Having already spent a lot of money on a fake tree and indoor decor, the two neighbors worked out a solution that's sure to blind the entire neighborhood.
"I promise I'm not really a grinch!!" they said, (which is exactly what a grinch would say.)
Seeing Double
"For Christmas, my dad received the exact outfit that he was wearing," this Redditor explains.
We can't tell what's more awkward: this, or accidentally regifting someone a present that they originally had given to you. Either way, orange is definitely this dad's color!
Would You Like Fries With That?
This cheeky girlfriend told her boyfriend that she "was getting him a burger for Christmas" and presented him with this gift (well, gifts).
We're not quite sure what gifts exactly were in the boxes, but if it wasn't actual burger ingredients or a gift card to a burger joint, then she missed a golden opportunity.
Christmas Cards
Remember Christmas cards? They're the cards filled with good wishes from aunts and uncles you haven't spoken to in years?
This family participated in their yearly holiday tradition, but the looks in the eyes of Mom, Dad, and baby tell me that they've definitely seen some things.
A Nintendo Switch
"The kids have been asking, dad is delivering. Christmas is going to be great," this one parent says of their upcoming Christmas gift to their unsuspecting children.
It's like these parents are trying to be put in a bad retirement home.
Falling
This man explains that his dad had fallen off a 10-foot ladder through a drop ceiling, and they just happened to be walking by and caught him. Using broken tiles from the fall, this is the sarcastic homemade Christmas present he's giving his dad.
Guess who's now Dad's least favorite child? That's right, you are.
Woman's Best Friend
For Christmas, this woman's mom gifted her matching pajamas for her and her four-legged best friend.
Her pajamas feature her dog's face, and the dog's pajamas have her face on them. The mom probably thought it'd be a funny gag gift, but if that's not true friendship, then I don't know what is.
This Is Nuts
For Christmas one year, this person was gifted a five-pound bag of unshelled pistachios.
I suppose it's not all bad. Presumably, if it was five pounds of shelled pistachios, that'd be a subtle indication that they hate you.
Self-Aware Children
It's tradition for children to write and mail letters out to Santa every year around the holidays. But for this kid, not only does he know exactly what he wants (totally realistic gift options, by the way), but he suspects that "Santa Claus" might actually be a fraud.
I doubt he believes in the existence of the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy too. I bet he's fun at parties.
Do You Have A Gift Receipt?
With new gaming systems and video games released each year, these types of items are always a popular Christmas gift for the gamer in your family. But if you're this person, I hope he at least got a gift receipt for his present.
"My parents (late 70s) got me a ps5 controller for Christmas. I do not own a playstation 5."
