What is your most amusing Christmas memory?

Question

For me, it is the year that my brother and I put up our artificial tree, but had to spray it down with Lysol first.

See, our tree had been packed away in our garage, and where we lived at the time was basically set in a large field, so mice were every now and then a problem. We set out tons of poison for them, and the poison had the property of desiccating the mice. When we got the tree out to set it up, we found dead, desiccated mice caught in the branches.

Well, we removed them, but liberally sprayed the tree with Lysol, in order to sanitize it. Lysol had just come out in a new pine scent, so we used about three cans of the stuff thoroughly sterilizing the tree. We got more compliments on how the tree smelled so wonderful, such "nice, real pine smell", that people couldn't believe it was fake. We didn't have the heart to tell them the real reason for the tree smelling as it did.

Answer 1

Good one. But that Lysol smell is too strong for me. It makes me want to vomit.



My story:



It is amusing to me now, bu not so amusing at the time. My first wife (after 18 years of marriage) had divorce papers served on me on the 24th of December (at our office Christmas Party). The deputy sheriff actually said "Merry Christmas, sign here"



((((J))))

Answer 2

That would prolly be the year Mom thought she'd be funny and put a lump of coal in my stocking and then get to experience the joy (for her) of the disappointment on my face right before she pulled out my real stocking and telling me that Santa was just giving me a warning. She thought it was so funny that she stayed up drinking until about four in the morning and didn't wake up until about three in the afternoon on Christmas day and found out that disappointment could take more than one form... Mom had such a great sense of humor.

Answer 3

I have 2 pretty sappy ones. First 4 years ago I found out I was pregnant on Christmas then this year I had my second 9 days ago.



Christmas alway used to be the shits for me as a kid because my mum hated it so much and usually ended with her drunk and yelling or threatening some sort of emotional blackmail. Even this year she tols me she didn't want to waist her money coming to visit me. She's an asshole.

Answer 4

I swallowed a baby tooth while eating a donut, Christmas morning.
