This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for buying his wife a Roomba for Christmas, that she clearly didn't take a liking too. The thing about this meltdown, is it seems like there'a whole lot more going on between these two than an unwanted Roomba.
Some kids had an innocent question for Veterinarians of Facebook regarding the health and safety of reindeer. It kinda snowballed into this wholesome piece of internet that you see before you.

This dad decided to share a hilarious, dark-humored video of his son seemingly converting to the "Dark Side" in a matter of 10 seconds. I mean, seriously. That kid must've held onto the lightsaber for 10 seconds before he made up his mind on going to the dark side.
We've entered a strange and dreamlike time of the year, folks. Yes, that infamous twilight zone between Christmas and the New Year. Many are coming down off the highly anticipated holiday of the year, where gifts are exchanged and family members are sometimes packed into tight quarters to play nice and exchange war stories from the last year. And then it passes, and you're left twiddling your thumbs waiting for the year to wrap up. Might as well sit back and enjoy the ride, and the days off if you have 'em!
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.

Christmas can really take it out of you.

There were a lot of reasons to have a bad Christmas, and it can be way worse than just getting a weird gift.
These parents decided to go out and have themselves a nice old-fashioned drunken time. Unfortunately, things got a little away from the dad and he ended up accidentally flushing an elf down the toilet when they got home! From there it got even worse, cause the toilet got clogged, and now the kids are worried about Santa not showing up!
Well isn't this just someone's worst nightmare. Can you imagine being busy trying to figure out the gift process for this upcoming Christmas, when suddenly you drop the kind of microSD card that could trigger a full family meltdown under the tree. And to make matters even more nightmarish, you have no idea where it is.
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.
Sure, it's the thought that counts, but sometimes all your great aunt can think of is a way to get rid of all her old mousetraps. Some gifts are strange but heartfelt, some are an excuse to re-gift some crap, some are a huge burden from an estranged family member. People get a lot of strange, inappropriate and WTF gifts.
