We all have them. Uncle Charlie dancing to "I'm Sexy and I Know It" because of that "special eggnog", Rover dragging the main course off the buffet table and leaving it under the bed, Klaus knocking over the Christmas tree, Aunt Minnie knitting you that sweater that 5 starving college students could fit into. I could go on.
Now that the festivities (or Festivus) have begun, we are all going to have those stories that really set the tone or make the memories for our holiday celebrations. If you have one that is especially unique (or just darn funny), share them here.
I had mine this morning!
I was heading to the store on errands and was casually driving down my street, when I saw a kamikaze squirrel hightailing it directly into my path and the timing was such that I could do nothing at all to stop it!!!!
I was completely mortified that I had started out Christmas Eve, giving the poor possessed critter a tour of my wheel well and almost certain that I had just committed one of the most horrible Christmas crimes against nature! And that Santa would definitely move me to the naughty list!!!
Even worse, my dear friend, who shall remain nameless, (except for the Ni*******ell in her name) decided to be sensitive and outline how I had viciously ruined the hearts and souls of a poor squirrel family. There would be no nuts brought home. No chasing through the branches of the wise, old camphor trees that line the street. Squirrel lives. Ruined. Forever. Thanks. I really needed that.
Errands went on, the world still turned, but I've decided to live quietly with the shame. After all, there is no way in heck I'm telling 2 little girls how I committed such a heinous act on Christmas Eve! This will forever be known in family stories as "The Christmas your Mother Massacred the Rodent Community"!

I felt so guilty!
