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.

    maggipedia Report

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.”

    jillyjillyjilio Report

    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.

    12-Year-Old Set His Lawn On Fire After Getting Magnifying Glass For Christmas

    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!

    [European citizen] 2 years ago I needed an ambulance, emergency surgery, 24h intensive care, X-rays and ultrasounds, and 6 days at the hospital including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desert every day. In USD that cost me $70 for everything. They even drove me home, I was fragile and a nurse called for a prepaid cab.

    Oh man ... I wish even the countries not that far developed will one day have healthcare insurance for everyone. This literally is the exact point of division between countries that claim you have rights ... on paper, and paper has plenty of patience ... or a country actually ensuring your rights, by not having them depend on your material wealth, but on you being a living thing alone. Like every first world country is executing with great success. The less developed countries, I hope, will at least try to get to this basic achievement.

    If killed, that bill would be even higher. I hope they found the jerk. I had a friend riding her bike in a spot she had to ride with traffic fir a short didstance when a guy in a car reach out and swatted her in the ass. She crashed, broke her shoulder and another driver stopped and drove her straight to the hospital. The jerk who swatted her drove on and probably told a few of his asshole friends over a laugh and a brewski.

    Yup, YOUR fault for riding your bike in their way. Gotta pay for it. SMH at our insurance, TF. It is so ridiculous. I get paying for a service and machines and equipment but many times it is so overinflated thanks to insurance companies. I bet if OP made a stink and kept records of documentation and such they will get tired of it and write it off. I had a work comp issue that was denied. My assumption is that a co-worker who wasn't in the room made a guess on what happenened to me, they ran with it. I kept my phone records, etc, in cse I needed it and kept them for years after just in case. They were telling me nothing, very secretive, avoided my calls. When I told them about the co-worker not being in the room and if that was their reason for denial, they stopped bugging me and I never paid the bill.

    Where I live is fairly remote, so I've allowed some of my property to be designated to be a landing zone for medical helicopters. Emergency personnel in this county know where we live and it saves precious time being able to stop here instead of continuing on to the closest hospital.

    Canada here, you are under the impression that health care is free in Canada, it's not. I paid over $500 for an ambulance to take me to the ER when my back seized up from a ruptured disc. Other than taking my blood pressure they did nothing

    In the US the can bill you for emergency ambulance visits, but if you dont have insurance, legally if you tell them so, they have to remove it. Federal law regarding federal funding for emergency services. This is what they bill your insurance company, so if you dont have, you get it wiped off. People just dont realize that.

    I was in a car accident some years ago where the ambulance was on their way to one hospital when they informed that ER was full and had to turn around to go to another hospital. Love paying that mileage!

    Oh my! My ambulance ride was literally down the driveway of Urgent Care, a couple hundred feet up the next driveway to the hospital ER. That ride cost me $200. They didn't even have time to start an IV or give me oxygen.

    Most services have a set fee anytime they leave their base. It is not set by the ambulance service, but usually by the city or county government where they are located. The price varies according to any supplies used and mileage. If yours was $200 then it was one of the lowest that I've heard of in a long time.

    Talk to your insurance company. They should cover this. I once had to threaten to take Allstate to small claims court before they paid for my physical therapy (I still have pain 6 years later from this accident) after I was rear ended by a texting driver with no insurance while sitting innocently at a red light. Talk to your insurance. Since your medical fees cannot be taken care of by the responsible party your insurance should be obligated in your policy to cover it at least partially, if not fully. These are multimillion dollar companies. Make them hold up their end of the policy. And get better soon!

    This is probably already in the comments but, protest the bill if you have insurance. If an ambulance is medically necessary they are suppose to lay. There may have been an error. Always research before paying anything. Yes healthcare in the US is f**ked up.

    Stolen means someone claimed it. The first person picks a gift, the next person and pick one or "steal: the one the first person got and then that person gets to pick another gift. The last person to pick has the best deal since they can "steal" gift from anyone or take the last remaining gift.

I washed it good, kept it, and bought my mom a new one and moved all the presents to my son's room where the kitties don't go. Its funny because out if the 4 blankets I bought for gifts, the cat peed on the exact one that I wanted for myself but was giving it to mom instead. So it worked out.

    Receiving nothing at all would be so much better. This kind of thing is just demeaning.

    I feel this! I got asked to work Christmas after picking up a Christmas Eve shift as an acute care nurse. It was my first week coming back from having COVID. It would make five 13 hour shifts in a row. Thank goodness someone else filled in before I had time to accept. I hope you still made the most out of the season!

    easy fix - don't ice while cookies are still warm and use piping bag (or ziplock bag with corner cut out)

    You could still fill it with goodies and give it to him. For him, it would be like a bonus.

    We have had this problem. Once it was a TV for me. We just tell each other don't get the gifts that day. You can have it go to someone else's house if itnis that big of a surprise.

    I've done this before too. Lol! I've found running water on the back side to soften/loosen helps me push the ice out easier.

    I have seen plenty of kids her age be gracious and genuinely appreciative when receiving clothing gifts. Even if a kid’s not a burgeoning fashionista, they should still be raised not to act like greedy brats, IMHO.
