It's the most wonderful time of the year, or at least it's supposed to be. The period of festive cheer, whilst jam-packed with heartwarming films, endless amounts of chocolate and veritable gallons of mulled wine, is often fraught with stress. I mean, buying presents for your immediate and extended family as well as your friends and colleagues can certainly put a strain on your bank account, and don't even get me started on the dreaded office secret Santa.
It's hard, however, not to get caught up in all the festivities. I mean, who can say no to the endless parties, which provide us with a rather good excuse to drink and eat far too much. Silly season, as I like to call it, then, can't be accused of not being entertaining, as these 16 hilarious tweets about Christmas prove.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/electrolemon/status/539875283944620032]]
Well, there you have it. Christmas may be many things, both joyous and taxing, but it sure is hilarious. I mean, any holiday which revolves around the existence of an incredibly generous bearded gent and his elfin helpers is bound to be a little crazy.
We do it every year: after a week of blissful indulgence, we tell ourselves that come January 1st it'll be all #newyearnewme. We're going to be glowing, shining, pictures of health, to be kinder, focus more on our relationships, to drink less, to drop the pricey Starbucks habit and take lunch to work every single day. Basically, we're going to be too damn awesome, all of the time.
And so we shamelessly spend December 31st having one final gluttonous overload - downing bottles of coke, gorging on cheese and crackers, cramming donuts into our mouths like they'll cease to exist and polishing off every last scrap of Christmas food - y'know, just so it's not there to tempt us.
But then January 1st comes around, and guess what? We're exactly the same. We eat, we drink, we order overpriced takeaway because we're too hungover to move. Well, fortunately, there are some people out there keeping it real on our behalves. Thank you, Twittersphere.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Brook3lizabethh/status/947481762564853760]]
So there we go: while you spend New Year's Day wallowing in alcohol-fuelled self-loathing, just remember that you're not the only one fighting your Netflix addiction, wishing you were a cat or avoiding resolutions all together. And hey, even if you do fail then at least there's always next year. Happy new year, folks!
It has come to that time of year. The decorations are up, the familiar tunes are playing throughout the day, and stores are flooded with desperate parents searching for the perfect toy for their children. One thing that has sort of become an additional, more modern tradition of the holiday period is the office Christmas party.
For whatever reason, this is the time of year where not only do we spend some time relaxing and socialising with our co-workers, but tend to drink a fair amount too. Maybe it's a year's worth of stress being released all at once, but these get-togethers are the perfect moment for something ridiculous to happen, which is why people out there have so many great stories to tell. Here are some of the best collected from Reddit:
1. The full monty
"I was a waitress an exclusive restaurant that was rented out for a big cereal brand's top management xmas party. An hour into the party people had stopped ordering shots and were drinking directly from the bottles of straight liquor they had us bring them. After many hours of heavy drinking the MD stood up to give his speech and completely stripped."
"Gross 50 year old and sagging totally naked. He then climbed onto a table, using my shoulder to steady himself as he got up, and rambled for 5 minutes before running out in the parking lot. When I went into work to set up for lunch the next day I found him still naked asleep under the restaurant."
"TL;DR I saw an old man's penis and now I fear old age" - thewoodstonight
2. Bad memories
"Two days before my first work Christmas party a memo came out saying if you were arrested the company would not bail you out of jail."
"A year before, several people were arrested for doing coke outside the christmas party. The CEO had to bail them all out of jail." - greenstew
3. Beer goggles on
"My boss made out with a mop. It's always the quiet, serious ones." - batarians
4. The wrong brownies
"A place that I worked at about 8 years ago had a huge party. One of the managers brought brownies and the director of operations (let's call him Jack) was the first to try them as we were setting up the food table. About half an hour later, as we were finishing up, Jack starts giggling and talking about how tall he feels."
"The guy that brought the brownies grabbed the wrong plate as he left the house and accidentally brought pot brownies. Needless to say, me gathered as many of the stoners as we could to clear that plate before anyone else got to them and tried to keep Jack away from other management." - traumaqueen1128
5. Caught in the act
"At my first job out of university, I replaced a gal who had moved on to a new role. However, she was still friends with a number of current employees and was invited to the Holiday party as a guest. I went to the coat room to grab something from my jacket and found her on her knees giving one of the bar tenders a blow job."
"In my drunken state I left and then informed several people, that they NEEDED TO GET THEIR COATS NOW!!!!!! They were literally caught in the act by the CEO and VP Sales...." - canadian_maplesyrup
6. So many questions...
"The head of our legal department ice skated shirtless. Can't remember why..." -hface84
7. When the joke goes too far
"We bought our boss Sexy Santa lingerie as a gag gift. She tried it on in front of us and proceeded to do a strip tease dance all the while screaming out how her husband was going to love this. She's 54."
"I worked at a call centre. I am a female, was 16 years old at the time; so the answer was/still is , no I did not particularly enjoy it." - searchingtheblue
8. That's one way to get a replacement
"Coworker threw his desk chair out of a 4 story window after having a few too many." - WillConway2016
9. Strong office spirit
"All 30 of us ended up on top of a mountain at sunrise, naked and drunk. We then went for breakfast and back to work." - jodics
Now that you've seen what can go down at these annual festive affairs, your drunken Christmas party with the work lot probably seems incredibly tame. Although it's probably a good thing to end a night without any embarrassing incidents or destroyed property, right?
With a week before Christmas, most of us have probably already been to a few end-of-year parties in the countdown to the big day. And for anyone in an office job or a university class or any other kind of collective group that meets on the regular, that means you've probably also taken part in your Secret Santa exchange as well.
Although it's meant as a festive gesture of sharing and gift-giving, Secret Santa usually turns out to be a stressful affair where either you're left empty-handed because somehow your name was left out of the draw, or you're standing there holding some kind of cheap bath pampering set you know you'll never use because of how terrifyingly vivid the colours are.
But you know what? It seems like everyone agrees that Secret Santa – as good as the intentions may be – kind of sucks. And this year, the most peeved of the lot have taken to Twitter to share stories about their Secret Santa struggles. Here are 14 of them, so go on and sip your tea while you have a gander.
1. Everyone knows it's really all act of passing judgement on one another
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/davidschneider/status/941768685185896451]]
So, did you fair better than this lot in your Secret Santa draw? Even if you didn't, just remember all the shitty presents you've contributed yourself as well. What comes around goes around, right? Merry Christmas everyone.
Christmas is a time of giving: family, friendship, parties, food, more food, things you can eat and presents that are often also things you can eat. However, it is also an absolutely unambiguous prime-time for the prank, the practical joke and those subtle little acts that will prompt both laughter momentary disdain and overt reactions exclaiming - "YOUVE RUINED CHRISTMAS, HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!" And so, here we have it, a collection of thirty examples where people, depending on the context, beholder, and spectator are having a little go at ruining Christmas in the most humourous (mostly) inconsequential manner possible. Join me in a few festive chuckles, would you?
[post_page_title]#1 Ruined? Or Made?[/post_page_title]
For this first example, it seems your position on the humor spectrum needs to be taken into account. Has this ruined your home-town Christmas? Landed a dark stain on your festive getaway or rather improved the lightheartedness of it all? I really hope this was a genuine mistake because it's all-the-more funnier if it was.
[post_page_title]#2 Surrounded by "Loved Ones"[/post_page_title]
Initially, I was going to place this absolute corker of a Christmas prank at the very end but the more I scrolled up and down my massive list, the more I couldn't resist its early entry! No judgment here, the festive season should always result in the ones you love (or admire) present and smiling (sort of).
[post_page_title]#3 Be Careful What You Wish For...[/post_page_title]
Fairplay. No one ever suspects cute little old Grandma. I do believe this young man's gently quip has resulted in either self-ruination of his December 25th or perhaps even made it. Either way, its place on this list is more than justified.
I'm sure this caused quite the varied set of reactions in the classroom, the playground and huge ensemble of parents waiting for their daily child collection duties to begin. Look at his face, that's Christmas cheer right there. Or is it? I reckon this Christmassy child knows EXACTLY what his jumper is showing.
[post_page_title]#5 Rude Not To![/post_page_title]
Now, with this one, I have a job for you. I want you to scroll slowly, take in the image and then upon seeing the white coloration at the end, know that it gets better, so much better. If you're going to ruin someone's Christmas, do it humorously, do it well and do it in such a manner as this. Utter genius is hard to come by these days.
[post_page_title]#6 Christmas (Dinner) IS Absolutely Ruined![/post_page_title]
Once again, do me a favor and scroll, scroll away. Once again, this thread's comments are golden, but I think we need to look deeper into this. What if, now hear me out, the family cooking operations were divided and this was but one facet of the operation?
Each to their own when it comes to Christmas. Some people enjoy it more than others and within that, some enjoy certain aspects above all else. Much like this furry Quadruped. By prospective and likely in the past destroying the tree, el pooch-hound here would be having the time of his life but also ruining Christmas for his owners.
[post_page_title]#9 'Every Year I'm In Charge Of The Nativity And This Year I've Out Done Myself'[/post_page_title]
Please refer to the title of this entry when an explanatory copy is required. Brilliant. The Christian story of Christmas is one we all know, and one we have all heard more times than we care to count, and so, why not jazz it up a little? Again, brilliant.
[post_page_title]#10 Each Tree According To Its Own Decorator[/post_page_title]
Decorate your trees as you will humans of Christmas time! What is most amusing about this little tiny-toe-Jesus is that severed body parts are often synonymous with hell, and this piece is about people HELL-bent on ruining the festive fun. I'm just connecting the dots here.
Once again, genius is the true gift of Christmas with no ruination in-sight. I mean, I'm this could be spun round into something negative but what really would be the point? Tongue-in-cheek wins the day.
[post_page_title]#12 Savage Christmas Times In This House[/post_page_title]
Poking fun at or partaking in actions designed to stir those into an annoyed temperament at this time of year is a common past-time. Don't lie now, you know you have yourself jibed at loves ones and chucked all the live-long day.
However, as fun as it is for you, others find it amusing too...
[post_page_title]#14 'I Bet It's A Book..'[/post_page_title]
Cats are known to see humans as their underlings. Take that feline! This would also be an excellent gift for someone who is less-inclined towards the popular household pet and thus ruining Christmas. This list is so educational!
The family photo is a sometimes stressful experience any time of year let alone at Christmas, and there are always a few jokers and witty rapscallions dotted about who only live to ruin such occasions! Enter this next image. LOOK HOW ACCOMPLISHED IT LOOKS!
[post_page_title]#16 'I Can't-Wait To See The Tree!'[/post_page_title]
... said NOT the person who captured this image. Imagine if decorating the Christmas tree was your absolute favorite thing to do ever in all the world's plethora of activities. Imagine having to get this out of the box without compromising it or the boxes' structural integrity.
[post_page_title]#17 'MAKE IT STOP!'[/post_page_title]
I guess this is growing up. *Insert 'Dammit' by Blink-182 here*. This made me laugh as much as it did nod in compliant resignation. How long can we really fight this for? IT'S ALL RUINED! WAAAAA!

[post_page_title]#18 'What A CHEAP Joke'[/post_page_title]
You know who and/or what is absolutely HELL-bent on ruing Christmas in its omnipresent limitless existence? Ebeneser Scrouge! No, but close. CAPITALISM. The answer is capitalism.

[post_page_title]#19 Some Never Grow-Up...[/post_page_title]
Being a child is fun, but what is perhaps more fun is how much you can revert to this previous stage in your existence at Christmas once you have reached societally accepted adulthood. Once again, I proudly salute and include an image showing someone hell-bent on ruining a microcosmic localized Christmas in the best way possible.
[post_page_title]#20 'This Is One Of The Funniest Holiday Cards I have Ever Seen'[/post_page_title]
Here we are again, an image prompting a few lines depicting a point that suggests that someone, somewhere, has likely taken offense and had their precious Christmas ruined. Unconventional Christmas be damned! Or you could just laugh like the person who received this absolutely brilliant modern jibe at Christmas time.
[post_page_title]#22 Even The Internet Is Chipping In![/post_page_title]
Typing in random or loosely focussed sentences, questions and statements into search-engine fields or address bars is what it is and what it is insanely fun and a perfect momentary cure for boredom! Ruined those old-time and overtly overplayed Christmas numbers or... made them better?
[post_page_title]#23 'This Guy Gets Christmas'[/post_page_title]
Take the tradition of it all and make it your own! He really does get Christmas! Hats off spikes up and then hats back on! This Punk's wonderful jibe at Christmas surely annoyed someone? Surely! No? It didn't? Good.
[post_page_title]#24 An Investigative Need For Deeper Meaning... And A Little Humor[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, you simply can't just leave well alone and that can bother people. Sometimes though, the same old same old bothers people, and it just sits there in need of a little festive refreshment via a little dry-witted excellence. Christmas people for reindeer justice! This is our year! We stand with Rudolph!
[post_page_title]#25 Off Home For Christmas? Lock Your Door...[/post_page_title]
As much this would have been a post-Christmas present, the point stands and its place on this list is absolutely substantiating. Imagine the effort it took to do this?! Imagine the effort it took to remedy this?!? Merry Christmas and be thankful for what you already have, unless it belongs to the university that is, be thankful for - and so on.
'Ohhhhhhhh that's so cuteeeeee!' Or is it? Scroll and think about that. How is the ruining Christmas I hear you ask? WELL! Either you are now completely and utterly terrified of Christmas altogether, having recurring nightmares of this image or at the very least now complete petrified of Christmas trees!
Personally, I love this but sadly, this husband's attempt to change-up the family Christmas fell foul of traditional-or-nothing eyes! Three minutes is the new benchmark! Make Christmas spicey again! Down with the same old!
[post_page_title] #29 Here Come The Three Kings! [/post_page_title]
This is another that begs the question of who is the real festive troll here? Who took it upon themselves to ruin the family Christmas photos that tediously permeate the annual event? Was it Johnny? Maybe. Does it matter? No! Hilarious and subtle ruination wins the day once more! Rejoice! It's a Christmas miracle.
[post_page_title]#30 This Is End...[/post_page_title]
... not only of another one of these insightful and partially educational lists but of CHRISTMAS ENTIRELY! It was true. IT WAS ALL TRUE! Whoever decided to let these tearaways out in time for their festively-ferocious-five-finger-festival has truly gone and done it! Ruination, RUINATION!
We make our own Christmas traditions. However, the more that goes on, the more that can go wrong! The tree falls down, the dog eats the presents, the cat pulls down the lights, your racist old grandmother goes on a tirade after a few sherries, the presents don't arrive in time, someone sets fire to your boat - it really matters not! Absolute anything can go wrong in and around this yearly event. I bet you're worried now, aren't you? Well, ignore that worry and laugh at the following calamities!
[post_page_title]#1 Clean Eating[/post_page_title]
Christmas is a time of receiving the same old gifts year in year out from the same family members. Usually.

[post_page_title]#2 Passive Aggression At Its Absolute Finest[/post_page_title]
'My Parents Made My Wife A Stocking For Christmas' - Spending time with your parents or in-laws, distant family or family friends can be a strain on the mind. Especially if there is some bad blood or you simply can't stand whoever it is sat at your table.

However, this goes a little further, especially when you're aware of how a member of your family feels towards your partner. People are petty and Christmas is the jolly time of year for it to reach its peak! I hope dinner went well, akantho!
[post_page_title]#3 Prank or Prophecy?[/post_page_title]
As much as this is very, very, very, very, very - VERY amusing to us, I can't imagine it was initially to the owner of this garage. The dinner is in the over, you come outside to move the car to make room for nana and grandad's needlessly huge car and you find this, but, is there more to it?

When it comes to Christmas decorations, some people truly go all out in a display brighter than the northern lights and tackier than a warehouse full of knock off Faberge Eggs. The effort that goes into Christmas really starts with the decorations and often sets the tone for the season!

Something I've always enjoyed is how long people keep their trees up this time of year. Be them fake or real, the time really varies.
Anyway, when comes the time to expel the festive leafy greens from your home, most will simply chop them up or places them on the roadside for collection. Most people...

Showering your pets with gifts, treats and all the things you normally wouldn't want them to get too used to is often cast by the wayside at Christmas. In all honesty, they are part of the family after all, so why not?!
Absolutely nothing can go wrong!

Right, so either this was a dog, poor planning on the part of whoever put it up or the spirit of old Scrouge has now got to the trees. You may recognize this from the cover image that again, likely brought you here, it just had to go in, I NEED TO KNOW.

Judging from what I can see, getting that tree in the house in the first place seems like a struggle plain and simple. Who needs a 10ft tree INSIDE anyway? It's beautiful and this really, isn't what you want to be dealing with at Christmas but still? Why?

Family obligations, Christmas is chockful of it! Ferrying loved ones around, ferrying friends around, ferrying in-laws that drive you insane from place to place, someone has to do it! And if it's not this it's rushing to town to get the last of the Christmas comestibles, needless to say, its a busy time of year if you drive!

So with that said, this is not what you need now, is it?
Now if you excuse me, I need to safety proof my Christmas! Have a good one!
