3 Christmas disasters
1. Kids knocking over the Christmas tree and water going everywhere
2. Forgetting the presents at home after a 2 hour drive to the party
3. Having one dead bulb killing all the lights somewhere in the 200 you've put up.
4. having the cat knock over the tree after deciding that INSIDE the branches of the tree is the ABSOLUTE best place to hide while on a catnip high
5. Burning the X-Mas dinner
6. Forgetting to charge the video camera battery!
7. The family dog following your mom down to the road on Christmas Eve where the trash dumpster is, and having a car run over it and keep going.........
8. several family members fistfighting, cursing, and culminating in a drunk slinging the christmas tree, and shouting at the kids that there isn't gonna' be no goddamned fucking christmas.
9. Two close friends of the family - 39 yr old mom and 19 yr old son - senselessly murdered during a botched robbery the Friday before Christmas - yep! :-
10. Seeing somebody besides mommy kissing Santa Claus.
11. getting birthday presents on christmas day instead of birthday because your birthday is two days before.
12. Having your flight canceled after being in the airport with two kids for 6 hours
13. suddenly realizing you're jewish and you don't even celebrate christmas
