What’s your worst Christmas argument ever?

Just for fun, what’s your worst Xmas argument?

Me and DH had a stonking argument one year because he wasn’t drinking because he was on call for work and grumpy.

The actual argument was over the Christmas pudding. He refused to eat the one my mum had bought us and wanted to use one that had been in the cupboard for years.

we managed to have a full on row in the kitchen, full of my family with not one of them noticing, complete with him launching said Xmas pudding down the garden and hitting the back fence.

i had to take my sister to the bottom of the garden at the end of the night to prove it happened as she didn’t believe me!!

Weirdly a tree grew where the pudding landed (a strange coincidence!) which I fondly called the Christmas pudding tree and we now joke every year that we should hold Christmas pudding throwing championships on Xmas day!

One year when we were teenagers my sister managed to get steaming drunk on other people's drinks. My mum was furious with me about it (no idea how it was my fault)and made me carry her into the hospital by myself even though she and my aunt were born there.
It wasn't easy, my sister is bigger than me.

I had a blazing row with my father regarding the proposed name for my soon to be born child.

Suffice to say that my DH has never seen or spoken with my father since that day.

I’m waiting for the time when my DS realises that his father and grandfather are never in the same room together.

A row at the lunch table between my grandparents led to my mum throwing the trifle at the wall. My sister and I got sent upstairs, even though we had done nothing!

Oh god these sound awful. My mum used to be very dramatic about Christmas. I remember her threatening all sorts including once packing a bag to go to a hotel that evening. Totally nuts. My own house is a lot calmer usually. I did once go to bed at about 9 o'clock on NYE as I was pissed off with dh over tv choices.

I remember my ex MIL one Christmas losing a false nail. She had a massive tantrum, stormed odd and left us all sat at the dinner table open-mouthed.
