Share your funny Holiday story

[binny]

I know there must a bunch out there.

Ill start with one I was just thinking about the other night.

Christmas has always been a really big deal, everyone went all out in our house. I loved it ( and still do) just as much as everyone else.

When I was 4 I heard "Santa" jingle a bell outside my bedroom door. I sat in my room for minute and then I heard it again instead of being excited I was SCARED to death! I heard it one more time and I RAN out of my room, smack dab into "Santa" and just kept going! I ran down 2 flights of stairs to my big brothers room and jumped into bed with him! I hid under his covers until they finally convinced me that it was morning and that Santa had left and it was safe again!





This is one of those "family stories" Ive never been able to live down!


SO tell me your funny Holiday story!

I think my sister was 11 and I was 14. We woke up on Christmas morning and went down to the tree and nothing was there. So we ran up to our parents room and started to ask where our gifts were. My parents just said maybe we should look a little harder. We took off through the house looking like it was Easter morning. We were in closets taking stuff out, moving furniture, you get the picture. After about an hour my parents called us back to their room and they had a tree set up infront of their window. It was there the whole time and we never looked under the tree in their room. My mom still talks about how mad my sister and I were that year. It is here favorite Christmas story to share.

When I was six or seven there was a toy on the roof that had fallen from Santa's sleigh.

I was in high school and it was Christmas night and we were visiting friends and they were showing us what they had gotten and my mother gets this strange look on her face and covers her mouth to keep from yelling, she had remembered a gift she had bought and hid and then forgot about. I can still see that shocked expression on her face. We teased her about that for years.

I was four and my favorite uncle was visiting us for Christmas. My Uncle is big, sweet and a little slow and soft spoken. Kinda like our own personal Boo Radley ( from to Kill a Mockingbird.) Well, he and my Dad decided after my brother and I went to sleep that they would go up on the roof and shake these jingle bell things we had and shout Ho Ho Ho . You know, give the kids a thrill. Little four year old me heard the footsteps on the roof , sat up in bed and heard : Ho Ho Ho ( much jingling of bells ) Then a scream- AHHHHHHHHHHH! and a loud thud outside my window followed by my Dad's voice saying, "Oh Sh#&!" I remember thinking, " gosh I hope Santa's okay" and going back to sleep. The next morning my Uncles arm was in a cast and Dad told us that Santa had to leave in a hurry and so the toys that needed assembled would be put together later. I told my Dad that Santa probably left to go to the hospital because I'd heard Santa fall off the roof. By the way, what's the matter with Uncle Bills arm?

It was just my mom and I when I was growing up and it was tradition that I slept with her on Christmas Eve. When I was about 10, I got up and went into the living room and NO PRESENTS!!! I went back and woke my mom up. She looked dazed at first then the look of "OMG!!!". She made me stay in the bedroom while she got them all out. We laugh about it now. I told her it's a good thing that I didn't believe in Santa anymore or I would have probably cried! LOL

I have learned when a child asks for a specific toy, you must get THAT toy! When DD5 was 3, she wanted Dora Bingo. I thought it was a little too old for her and she would settle for another Dora toy. Well, she unwraps the gift, takes one look and tosses it across the floor. "This is NOT the toy that I wanted!!!" I know that we should have been appauled at the behavior, but we couldn't help but laugh. Thankfully we have it on tape, so we can watch it when she's older and show her what an ungrateful brat she was.

We have my middle daughter, probably also 3, on tape opening a present and looking really mad and saying, I DID NOT ask for this! How dare Santa go out the box and get her an additional gift!

This is funny - my DH wanted to surprise our girls when they went to bed by ringing santa's bells. Doesn't sound that funny right? Well, the way he did it was priceless. Both our girls bedrooms are on the other side of the house from our bedroom. My DH rigged up santa's bells on the end of his fishing pole. Went outside where our bedroom window was and casted those bells over the house using his fishing pole they landed perfectly on the other side up towards the top of the house between the two girls bedrooms. When we tucked them into bed that evening my DH then brought the fishing pole through our bedroom window so that he could sit on our bed and yank on the fishing pole to ring the bells. Both our girls FLIPPED OUT because it sounded like it was coming from the sky being up so high.

That was really fun!

my uncle is a football ref...so he puts on the zebra stripes and blows a wistle to start the gift opening spree. He decided to tease us and we spent like 10 min just waiting....then his 2 yo son says "daddy blow the wistle or i pull down your pants" it was the funniest thing..and its on video!

When I was 12 I was known for finding my gifts before christmas morning. So my mother decided to wrap all my gifts. Well I was told that my gift wrapping skills were wonderful, so I thought I'll just unwrap the bottom of the gifts to see what they are. I actually showed some restraint and only did this to one or two. Anyway I opened one to find a beautiful teddy bear, Gund I believe. I loved it! So I close up all the packages and go on my way. On Christmas Eve I got to pick any one present to open, and I pick the "teddy bear". The second I rip it open I realize that I am in big trouble. Inside was a couple of really sad looking, old and stained shop towels. My mom looked at me and said "What's a matter honey, were you expecting something else?" Once I realized that I had been busted I was mad and wanted my bear. The lesson and the really funny part of this story is, never think that all tape is the same, because DUCT tape is not! Yes that's right I used Duct tape to close up the bear because my mom hid the other tape just in case! She too smart for my own good!
