christmas

You might've already stumbled upon this olden golden gem from the depths of the wild world of Tumblr before. The epic saga centers on a mom who was absolutely committed toward getting her son set up with a woman through the offering of goats. You might as well call this guy the goat guy. Check out some more funny, random, and sweet Tumblr gems over here. 

We recognize we're only halfway through the week at this point, but we've already come across a truly heartwarming and fulfilling little pro revenge tale. We have a loving daughter who simply wasn't going to stand for her mean dad's inconsiderate nature when it came to keeping all the family's meaningful holiday decorations after the divorce. So, with a little strategic, sneaky planning she managed to put the happy tears in her mother's eyes. You love to see it. 

It sounds like this entitled family got exactly what they deserved. Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like a whole bunch of toxic manipulation. This family was certainly laying that on real thick. Gifts can really end up being their own kind of weapon.

Let this glorious TIFU stand as a lesson to the rest of us about the importance of handling the getting rid of Christmas trees in a timely manner. Naturally, if you don't you run the risk of unleashing nothing short of a horror scene in your living space. 

If anyone out there has a famous relative that they've grown up with, then they've likely encountered many scenarios where they've been forced to be especially mindful of their relative's privacy. Fame can be quite the costly thing in one's life when it comes to being able to celebrate the holidays without having your privacy invaded by mobs of hungry paparazzi, or family members just trying to leech off the money and toys that can come with the fame. In this case, it sounds like the guy's poor cousin was just trying to have a Christmas where he could carry on like he was living a normal life. Unfortunately, the cousin wasn't able to do so due to a surprise guest. 

This dad wasn't going to settle for giving his kids cash in the old fashioned way of slipping a few dollar bills in a card, or maybe even just giving them cash. No, he insisted on getting more creative with things. Queue up the awesome packaging that made these cash gifts look like gifts he bought in the store. 

Christmas can really take it out of you. If you have uncooperative family members, forcing everyone into the same room with a whole lot of expectations and spiked eggnog can be a recipe for a real bad Christmas. There were a lot of reasons to have a bad Christmas, and it can be way worse than just getting a weird gift.

Tis the season for people busting out the very best and worst of their ugly holiday sweaters. Some of these just hurt to look at. While others are so bad that it's actually impressive. 

Ain't this too sweet for words to describe? Many of us have had wildly different experiences for when it comes to digesting the hard truth that Santa Claus is just a work of the imagination. Some revelations hit harder than others. These particular parents though sound like they handle the process with love and grace and ultimately a passing of the torch kind of ritual takes place. Pretty neat. The world could always use some more wholesome vibes to go around. We've got plenty of the other bad stuff. 

Man, petty neighbor wars are always a spectacle to behold. In this case though, we have just the kind of unprecedented neighbor war that takes pettiness to dizzying heights. Karen's been out there acting like the Grinch, and leaving all the passive aggressive/straight up aggressive notes that she can muster up. Fortunately, the dude on the other end of this exchange has no problem meeting Karen's onslaught of notes with their own passive aggressive power plays. Talk about a thoroughly enjoyable, absolutely hilarious little saga. Check out some more of the world's pettiest revenges over here. 

If you're just a horrible adult who needs pictures of Christmas morning to revitalize your holiday spirit, then here you go. If your family sucked at Christmas and you just wanna hate on all these kids that got what they wanted, you're free to do that too. Here's some more nostalgia for 80s and 90s kids. Going back further, here are some horrifically weird old-timey Christmas cards.

It's that time of the year again. With the holiday season in full bloom, it's time to steer our attention to that one Christmas song that never fails to stir up the spicy debate about what it's exactly getting at. We have a former English teacher chime in on a tweet that condemns the infamous song, "Baby It's Cold Outside", with their analysis of what the song actually represents. 

Mohammad Hussain's one amongst many unfortunate folks who have had to cancel their holiday plans due to the ongoing pandemic. It's been a historically difficult year, for sure. But throughout all this adversity, it's on us to mindfully work to identify the silver linings when we can. It would seem this guy was able to bring some humor with his observations on his first proper Christmas in the states. It really can be quite the intense holiday filled to the brim with preparations, and all the food and drinks. 

If there's one way that we can go about keeping that holiday spirit alive amidst a historically difficult holiday season, it's to celebrate people's most memorable holiday decoration disasters. All kinds of fails can occur when you're trying to get the house all tidied up and sorted out for the holiday. Maybe the tree ends up looking like it's right out of the iconic Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree scene. Or, maybe you bring a seemingly promising tree home only to realize that it's been infested by an army of nightmarish spiders. 

It sounds like when this husband got caught red-handed he tried to deflect his self-created predicament back onto his wife. His very wife that was loving enough to invest her resources in a meaningful, generally badass Christmas gift. When you get caught like he did the best course of action is to just own up for your mistake, and not try to deny what you did. That only makes it worse. 

Anyone who has ever played a part in a family holiday tradition knows that things can go from 0 to 100 at a moment's notice. The holidays can be a lot like weddings in that they're this unique, high pressure, emotional time of the year that brings together all kinds of family members that would otherwise be advised to remain comfortably far apart. Drama can break out at just about any time. In this case though, the vibes remain relatively wholesome. Just a little friendly competitiveness and a whole lot of holiday spirit.
