As much as we’d like the cursed year of 2020 to end without leaving it the opportunity to raise our cortisol levels from stress even further, it doesn’t mean that the Christmas holidays are canceled.
In fact, if you’re reading the post, I must give you a big round of applause for surviving it, ‘cause at this point, no one can be sure about virtually anything. Like whether or not we won’t choke on a turkey breast covered in gravy, or whether or not you might enter a warzone with your in-laws for making fun of Covid deniers.
But that doesn’t mean there were no fails. On the contrary, Christmas makes everyone super vulnerable to all kinds of failure. Like, receiving the worst Santa gifts, finding the perfume bottle you gifted to your loved one next to the toilet fresheners, or simply realizing your Christmas hasn’t been very merry—no one is immune to their fair share of festive breakdown.
I leave the stage to this merry Bored Panda compilation of all the what-ifs and oh-my-gods turned reality that just reminds us once again that this is not your usual Christmas. It’s Christmas: 2020 edition.

How do people live/survive like this? Honest question, I really want to know how to deal with this
The average British household spends around £500 on gifts during the traditional holiday season, equaling Americans who spend about $650, according to BBC. Let these numbers sink in for a moment. Gifting is a quintessential part of the Christmas season, the act which makes us all somehow happier, and even helps to make our relationships stronger.
Equally, choosing the wrong gift to your loved one or a family member can have a negative toll on your relationship with them. Elizabeth Dunn, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada told BBC that “choosing the wrong gift can be kind of risky for relationships because it says you don’t have anything in common.”
A similar 2008 study looked at how good and bad gifts can influence relationships. The results published in Social Cognition magazine showed that “males, as opposed to females, reported less similarity to their new romantic partner after receiving an undesirable gift, suggesting that males are more likely to react unfavorably to receiving gifts they do not want.”

Watched My Friends Dogs Today While They Were Gone, Tried To Get A Cute Picture For Them And Ended Up With Accidental Gem/Nightmare. Merry Christmas!
Other studies have shown that while shopping for gifts, we tend to focus on the person’s unique traits. As a result, gifts become very specific, but it may lead us to “ignore other aspects of their wants and needs, which may make us buy them an inferior gift.” As an alternative, gifting the same things to multiple people won’t make them compare who got what, and they also may be happy with the same thing.
The question remains whether we, as a society, put too much importance on the vain side of Christmas. Stressing out about gifting and receiving gifts causes the danger of forgetting what we all gather for in the first place. After all, these unprecedented times that we live in now urge us to rethink our values and priorities and turn to increasingly everlasting things.

Too funny...reminds me of the time when I was 16y/o, and I bought a t-shirt with a cherub on it, for no other reason then I thought it was cute. Well to my mom, that must surely mean I not only like "angels", but I LOVE collecting them. Something she happily told EVERYONE in my family when they asked for gift ideas. Honest to god, for the next 8 years or so, that's all I got for Christmas, and my Birthday. At one point, there was not an "angel themed" product on the market that I didn't own. If it had a human like figure with wings, then I had at least one in a box somewhere. Watches, clothes, books, towels, paper, posters, and jewelry...oh lord, the damn JEWELRY, etc!!! By the third year, I didn't have the heart to tell anyone the truth. In other words, long story short, she needs to nip this in the bud real quick, that, or she's gonna have to find a way to make peace with black, and yellow home furnishings.

12-Year-Old Set His Lawn On Fire After Getting Magnifying Glass For Christmas
Christmas Day was memorable to say the least! My twelve-year-old son Cayden, who is an avid reader, an honor student, and interested in science, asked for a magnifying glass for Christmas. (It’s like a basketball player asking for basketball shoes.) We thought it was for reading, but instead, he tried to see if he could light a fire with it! We discovered that he and his two brothers went out on the driveway to see if they could burn a couple holes in some newspaper. Everything was under control until the boys came running into the house telling us that a corner of the lawn was on fire and the Christmas lights were melting! Justin and I rushed outside to see the entire front lawn turning black! We grabbed buckets, turned on the hose and sprinklers, and I grabbed blankets to smother and trap it - before it could spread any more into the neighbors' yard! What a sight to see - a bunch of people running around crazy trying to put a front lawn fire out while wearing matching Christmas jammies!
I want to reiterate this was an accident. It could have been worse but it wasn’t. So instead of a tragedy, it will now be a Christmas to remember! 2019 - The Christmas lawn lit on fire. Oh and never buy a magnifying glass for your son!

Lori Harris 5 years ago
My husband is a 40 year old version of you and his running narrative while we wrap consists of three statements. 1. Oops, how did that happen? 2. I know I measured out plenty of paper (He didn't.) 3. Oh well, close enough! I have almost exclusively transitioned to gift bags and the printed gift boxes from Dollar Tree. He insists on buying traditional wrap because he says it wouldn't feel "authentic" for our son not to have paper to rip up without abandon on Christmas morning. Such a sweet idea until he bails 3-4 presents in and I end up fully responsible for maintaining the "authentic" experience. This year he managed, agains all odds, to accidentally buy one roll of birthday paper, despite the tsunami of Christmas rolls in stores. It was impressive! otheholiday themes

I ordered some food once and it didn't arrive even though it was marked as delivered. I called the company and they verified it was delivered but it got delivered to the house on the lake where we weren't going to be at until spring time. I asked a neighbor to check it out and it turns out our local black bear had gotten to it first and left a big mess in the yard. I called the company and told them what happened and it was my fault for selecting the wrong address but they laughed so hard about and said it made their day that they sent out another shipment gratis.

I love that you rightfully took the blame on yourself for choosing the wrong address. Too many people would have gone berserk blaming the business for their own mistake. But I'm happy you finally got the goods and didn't have to pay twice.

One year I thought it would be a fun idea to attach chocolate liqueur bottles to the tree as an extra special gift for Christmas day. Christmas eve I carefully hung them up and went to bed. I forgot one thing. I live in South Africa and the weather was hot, about 30C or 86F. The bottles all melted and fell off. The dog had such a good time that night. No, you cannot find a vet on Christmas day unless you want to give him your car in lieu of payment. Luckily dog survived just fine.

similarly 5 years ago
I disagree. I think the top part the daughter is writing carefully but in the second half, she's writing with her normal handwriting. A few things: Y: compare the "y" in "saying" with the "y" in "fluffy", "toy" and "diary". Notice the little loop she does on the back of the "y", and how the under part of the "Y" is kind of squared off instead of diagonal or rounded. d: compare the "d" in "dad" to the "d" in "dolls" and "kid". Notice the long, curving tail, and notice how she tends to do an incomplete underloop on the front. There are a bunch of really small similarities, like the way she makes the "t" and "f". It looks different, but it's the same handwriting.

Classic headstock break when dropped flat. This happens in shipping if you don't slack off the strings and often when a case falls over. There is more than 300 lbs of pull on the head with all 6 strings tuned to pitch, so you can see how it happens.
Sanne H. 5 years ago (edited)
That’s unfortunate.... but based on personal experience (as a kid, I accidentally broke the guitar of a relative once) this is fixable with wood glue and a bit of patience. Maybe the repairing affects the quality of the sound a bit, but if you’re a beginner in guitar playing it’s not that much of a problem.

I was teaching at a Christian choice school one year, and during the Christmas program, and the "owner" of the school made this announcement as the collection baskets were going around to the parents, "Normally I ask you all to give generously during this service, because the money goes to the teachers for their holiday bonus, but this year, I decided the money should be spent building wells in Africa", which of course is a great, and worthy cause, and I'm glad it helped people. However, we were only making about $29,000/y, and spending thousands of dollars out of my pocket on supplies for the classroom, including text books, while the "owner" was paying himself about $300,000/y, lived in a million dollar home, and wore a diamond/ruby/gold the size of my hand around his neck. Oh, and did I mention he owned a Maybach, BWM, Mercedes, and TWO Rolls Royce Phantoms that he would often times park in the school's lot, so kids could wash them for him?!?! I remember thinking, "Boy, imagine all the "wells" you could build if you sold just one of those cars." Needless to say, I didn't stay there long.

Oh hell no, I'd have been FUMING! I absolutely LOVE Hotel Chocolat! I only ever order them for special occasions, normally Christmas. Haven't had them for a couple of years though. The first time I saw one of their stores, when I was on holiday a few years ago, I nearly peed my pants with excitement lol! I LOVE their salted caramel, it's the best salted caramel I've ever tasted! Their taster boxes are amazing also. One tasting box I tried had a salt and pepper chocolate in it, and it was actually delicious! I'd recommend giving them a try if you haven't already. Yes, they are expensive but look out for deals or sales. Also, they're not like 'confectionery' boxes of chocolates (Celebrations, Heroes, Roses, Quality Street, etc in the UK), you only need to eat 3 or 4 at the most at one time because they are so rich and delicious! So my boxes of them, depending on the size of the box, usually last me a good few weeks, just eating 3 of them a day!
