someone always ends up drunk...hiccup
Drunken incidents, accidents and idiocy
Depression from debts!!!!
the food burns, people are upset they didn't get the gifts they wanted, children don't want to be at church but are forced to go by their wannabe religious parents. people never have enough money and to many relatives, the cat likes to climb the christmas tree and knocks off all the decorations.
Going into debt with credit cards... Not getting what you hoped for. Kids not smiling for Santa Claus pix. People waking up grumpy on dec 25.
getting in debt because you spent all this money on presents, and electricity for lights, and big fancy Christmas dinner.
The excruciating Xmas Eve hangover.
Two mothers getting into a cat fight over the last Elmo toy on Black Friday!
Yes, family DRAMA!
People get trampled in malls. Spoiled kids hate the toys they get. People resent other's gifts. Yeah! Christmas cheer!
i know something they sing about but never happens... sugarplums. What the heck are they, and how are we supposed to dream about them?
The lights lighting the tree on fire. Or fighting kids that end up in the hospital. Haha, listen to the twelve pains of Christmas, really funny and totally true!
usually everybody gets extremely drunk
plans getting messed up
altercations that result in death, drunk driving accidents, people dying in hospitals
What are some things that happen at christmas that you DON'T hear about in christmas carols? bonking? and car accidents (fatalities)
Having the turkey slide right off the platter onto the floor. Yes, it really happened and we had a hard time keeping the cats away from it. We picked it up, wiped it off and served it anyway. Luckily, it was all close family and no one really minded. Too busy laughing!
Christmas tree falling down, falling down, falling down
some one being shot family members all drunk the baby being sick with the flu the teenage daughter is pregnant we have cows no reindeer being maxed out on your credit cards
How about I present my answer(s) as song titles I'd like to see: - "Santa gave me a crappy present" - "Santa Twisted his Ankle" - "Auntie Karens Hiding Vodka in Her Christmas Coke Can. Now who is going to Drive Grandma Home?" - "Did Nobody Get Batteries for Operation?" - "Three of My Christmas Toys Have Lead"
Not remembering that the reason for christmas is to recognize that Jesus christ died on the cross for our sins and that he was the greatest gift of all. Also at this time of the year everyone is not as fortunate so we need to give and show our love to others and especially the elderly. Check up on them and show some love. Giving starts with you. We need to love ye one another like the bible says. getting drunk and passing out is not the reason for the season. Give thanks and bless the Lord. God bless you all. email donnalhall3003@yahoo.com
getting LOADS of presents that you DON'T want Untangling lights for HOURS and then they won't work Burning the dinner or worse, turkey is frozen in the centre and you get/cause food poisoning Getting drunk and saying something you shouldn't or WORSE, no alcohol where you're spending Christmas. But no matter what happens, however bad, I haven't had a bad Christmas yet. Many happy returns of the season x
My meth-head stupid bitch whore sister sleeps all day and doesn't help with anything. My brother pisses and moans and starts a fight with the meth-head. Mom, complains about her medical problems. The teenagers are moody, shiftless, and rude. The dog takes a dump,and I pick it up and jingle it all the way home.
Someone outdoes your well picked gifts and makes you look bad.
Crime rates rise, drunk driving incidents go up, and stress levels increase. You have to spend time with people you might not necessarily want to, and you might get gifts that were better left unreceived. Travel is at a high, so travel-related problems (delays, lost luggage, general frustration) happens more. The holidays aren't necessarily the happiest time of the year.
grumpy family members
here comes lil angel all fat and angry.. she made all the food.. for the lazy family to eat.. here comes lil angel, all fat and angry, because her sister is a bit ch that complains all the time.. here comes lil angel, all fat and angry, because she told her family she's only buying for the kids and not the adults.. and someone always screws that up... here comes lil angel, all fat and angry, because her nephew never says thank you, even though she spends a lot of money on his worthless butt... ho ho ho... merry Christmas, see you again next year....
The only ugly stuff that goes on at Christmas for me is deciding where the kids go... not that I mind necessarily, but my mom (grandma) sure did for a while... There are one set of parents (sometimes two) then two sets of grandparents and as your kids get older then the inlaws... it gets difficult to negotiate, especially when shift work causes further restrictions on availability. Then of course, there's always the drunken fighting in the snowbanks... but that's another story. Peace
