What are your Christmas bloopers?

[LoveRicePudding]

Not directly mine but one Christmas, the mom of two girls our childminder was minding alongside DC (DC was 12 at the time so no longer needed minding but she would come over from time to time to play with the two little girls) decided to be ecological and sustainable and used old newspapers to wrap the presents.
Traditionally, we would buy something small for the little girls and DD would get something from the other mom so we pick up the present (which turned out to be a lovely top) but the paper was from one of those newspapers with those "readers' scandal stories" ("my sister in law shagged my brother's dog and his cousin", "my husband doesn't know I earn money by sending my dirty knickers to strangers all over the world"). This particular headline was: "My boyfriend wants me to play dead when he's having sex with me."
We were screaming with laughter. Poor mom was scarlet, apologised profusely, didn't spot the headline with all the stress of packing gifts while two little kids were running around her. It's been few years and we still giggle at the memory.

At christmas my mother loved these faked bird with awful dyed feathers like lurid colors sometimes .She covered the tree in them it was sweet but hideous,some of them looked like birds .

Not a good mix with a house full of cats ,one day she brushed up against the tree causing it to shudder.The birds shook the cat got super excited and went flying and 3....2.....1 TIMBER......... there gos the christmas tree crashing down .o dear =p

One Christmas, we were opening gifts when my nan said:
'Look at this lovely, big vibrator your father bought me!!!' 😳

It turned out to be a hand held massager for her back! 😆

OMG, that must have been embarrassing to explain 😂

I once put all the wrapped presents in a bin bag in the spare room.. a few days later we dashed to the tip…Yup! I threw all the presents away!! I went back the next morning and they let me go through the skip.. I retrieved them all!!!

Left all my wrapping to Christmas Eve and ran out of sellotape. I concocted a flower water glue and did my best! Usually get a few roles early December now!

My Mum once cooked a chicken, left it in the oven to keep warm while we went to visit my Gran who lived just a couple of streets away. Upon returning, we realised there was no chicken. It was just completely gone.

My Mum had a spare key that she'd given to one of her friends (can't remember why) and suddenly we were on our way to her house.
Arrived, my Mum banging on the door and shouting things like "I know you have my bloody chicken, Janet" which caught the attention of a few neighbours who came out and joined in (apparently Janet had been quite the thief in the past).
And for some reason, I got a massive case of the giggles at the whole image of a street full of people shouting and cursing over a cooked chicken and was just hysterically laughing. I was about 10 and my Mum wasn't impressed with me, to say the least 😅

We ended up getting back what was left of the chicken, but the friendship never recovered 😆

We were a bit skint and ds1 had asked for an action man and helicopter. Went in Woolies and their own brand action.man had a helicopter and a speedboat in a set for loads less than the kosher AM. Christmas morning he opens it and says "Father Christmas has got my presents mixed up with another little boys, this one's not mine." Point blank refused to look at it.

Wow, that's a shameless CF!

Oh, that's bad. Did he ever played with them?

My grandchildren are all getting money boxes in the shape of the initial of their name. I wrapped two of the three before I realised that I hadn't put a pound coin in so had to unwrap them put the coin in and rewrap!!!
