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? Who knows but its surely """"""ruined"""""" someone's Christmas...

I really hope this was a genuine mistake because it's all-the-more funnier if it was.

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).

... play. 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. Once again, yet another tongue-in-cheek image grace this list, but I'm sure there was at least one person who managed to inflate this accidental brilliance into a little kerfuffle of wording directed a Christmas ruination!

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.

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? What if, through partaking in this colossal bake-off, they have inadvertently ruined the efforts of those cooking all the more expect festive trimmings?
Just a (clutching at straws) thought. Carry on.

[post_page_title]#7 Ruination Two-fold? Maybe.[/post_page_title]
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.
By encasing the tree in an impenetrable fortress, the humans are safeguarding their own festivities but disallowing the happiness of the pooch in question. Either way, someone is unhappy.

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.

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...
