One time, my mother and my sister insisted on singing Christmas Carols the second the first day of December hit. Now, my singing voice notwithstanding, I think there should be a two-week proximity rule to when the Christmas carols are allowed to come out and play. So ... when they started singing Christmas carols in the van on the way one day as we were driving around town, I put on my earphones, cranked the volume and started shouting annoying top 40 songs at the top of my lungs. They laughed, which was a welcome break from repeated renditions of Silver Bells.

Witnessing my father throw a dramatical tirade after he opened his gift from my mother. She bought him, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus."

Where to start: 1. My brother discovered that Santa Claus doesn't exist when he woke up early one Christmas morning to find our parents passed out drunk in the living room with the "santa presents" half wrapped.

  1. My sister-in-law refused to get a Christmas tree when her son was 4 because she was sick of him asking for toys.
  2. Cuibooker gives me a good idea for Cmas present for husband this year;-)

I was working retail on Christmas Eve, and this woman had left all of her shopping to the last minute and tried to get in the door I was locking up. She shoved me and knocked me on the floor. I told the cashiers not to ring her purchase as I reminded her that sales people have family too and we need to get home to ours.

Two years ago at my in-law's house for Christmas holiday, a brick wall along the garden fell down and somehow took out the electricity for the house. Since it was the day before Christmas in a small town in Essex, UK, there was no one available to fix it until the next day. We didn't mind so much though, since it wasn't that cold a winter and we had a fireplace anyway to make the holiday still rather cozy and festive. Since we couldn't cook, we ordered an Indian take-away which was lovely, but gave us all food poisoning by midnight. As we were all feeling sorry for ourselves upstairs in the bedrooms the next morning, we didn't hear the doorbell ring when the repairman came. So we missed the repair for another day AND the miserable old repair grinch still charged us for his "time"!
