The holidays are a time full of activity, from gifts, to cooking and decoration. Even the simple task of bringing in a tree can be full of accidents and pitfalls, so it shouldn’t be surprising that some folks just end up getting pretty unlucky just in time for Christmas.

We’ve gathered some of the funniest Christmas fails from around the internet to, perhaps, bring you some joy this holiday season. So get comfortable as you scroll through, count your blessings that this isn’t you, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

I Got Fired So This Is My Christmas Alone

Floor scattered with cups, a soda can, and Christmas dinner mishap, possibly reflecting accidents on a bad day.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia and I got fired on December 20th. My only chance to pay rent this month was to drive 700 miles and start a new contracting job the week of Christmas.

I don’t have any family or many friends anyways but I was looking forward to spending time with the few souls I do have in my life. I miss them but I am stuck eating ravioli on a concrete floor, in a warehouse, for Christmas.

Everyone has Christmases that didn't work out like they would have wanted. But sometimes, it leads to something even better later on down the road. Christmas is just one day and you will have a lifetime of Christmases. Here's hoping the next one is filled with friendship and joy!

Had a fire at my 16 story apartment building last week. Fried the electrical in the building so no power, a/c, plumbing, or elevators. All 250+ seniors were displaced since it was unlivable. My partner and I are spending Christmas in a motel with no oven for Christmas. Tonight we had grilled cheese and potato chips. Not quite the feast we had planned, and we may be here for a couple more weeks, but we are safe and our bellies are full and, most importantly, the cat has a whole bed to herself. 😽

You're having dinner with Chef Boyardee. Next holiday, if you're still in Atlanta, check out any nearby churches and community centers. They'll be others there and they usually serve hot meals, maybe even volunteer. That'll warm your soul to help others lend a helping hand to those less fortunate

    How I Received My Xmas Gift From Amazon

    Delivery package on doorstep during holiday, highlighting potential Christmas accidents with a misplaced vinyl.

    The cover was bent and the record was chipped.

    At least Amazon replaced it the next day, in the proper record mailer, inside an another box with packing bubbles. It’s like there’s no middle ground with them.

    Always ALWAYS check the box that says "No, do not ship in manufacturer's packaging" or choose the option that says it is a gift. That is by far no guarantee, as you are still relying on the common sense of the average young person at the fulfillment center being paid peanuts to use packing paper appropriately.. This advice from a person that deals with/repacks all the damaged items, many of which are in manufacturer's minimal packaging, that are identified just before they go on the truck to get to your home.

    American actor, comedian, and filmmaker Mel Brooks once said that “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die,” in reference to the very real fact that, ultimately, it’s all about perspective. After all, the fails here range from mild annoyances to holiday ruining.

    However, it can be a good lesson on perspective, after all, you can thank your own lucky stars that these things didn’t happen to you. It’s easy to forget that everything going “right” isn’t the default, so it can be nice to take a moment and appreciate what you have. Christmas is, in many ways, a great time of year for that.

    Hopefully, any particularly major fail ends up feeling like funny memories in the future, a great moment to go “do you remember when…” next Christmas. Who doesn’t like a sympathetic story for the holidays? It can be terrible at the moment, but ultimately cherished memories are often born of bad luck.

    If you are not vaccinated against such diseases, you have to live with them. everyone is responsible for their own vaccinations. if you are not sure, you should get tested. in germany, scarlet fever must be reported to the health department and the person affected and their family must go into quarantine. Scarlet fever can kill babies.

    If you haven't already you must go to the doctor and have this fully diagnosed. If it is scarlet fever it is extremely dangerous and if not treated properly can damage your heart permanently as well as other terrible side effects. It is also extremely contagious by touch or by the air so protect others.

    Check your prescriptions, people! Mistakes happen. If you are starting a new prescription read the information that comes with it, note what the d**g is for and pay special attention to possible side effects. If you have questions call the pharmacist and ask. Mistakes can kill you! If you are getting a refill look at the bottle and make sure it is the same thing you have been taking. If the pills are different call the pharmacy and confirm the change (most actually put a label on that says they've been changed) as pill sizes, colors, and shapes are regulated and a change is a big red flag. If you can't do all this yourself make sure you have someone you trust who will help you manage your medications because if you can't do this you are not able to live without assistance. Mistakes can kill you and no one has as much reason to prevent that as you do. Check before you take!!

    Mom set herself up for this failure. I have less than no sympathy for her, and am delighted she went hungry, even as I feel that everyone should be gracious about gifts they receive. In this case, it feels as if mom did this on purpose besides! 🤬

    The sister is the one who didn't like the gift. I'm assuming the mom is mad because she's the one who picked it out. It's still incredibly childish. No one is obligated to like what you get them.

    Not to alarm the OP, but when my Ophthalmologist treated a style, the eyelid was turned inside- out and lanced. He numbed the area but it still hurt. It was worth the pain to get rid of the style.

    You've got a good looking stye there. It's caused by a clogged duct to a gland in you lid. Much like a pimple. Hot packs with a wet washcloth and gently massage the bottom lid to help disperse the contents of the head. Should go away pretty quickly.

    At this point, if you're still dumb enough to order from Temu, you deserve whatever you get. I'll bet there was at least one local business, struggling to stay afloat, who could have made you a beautiful blanket. Instead, you ignored your friends and neighbours and spent your money on some sketchy Instagram retailer. Good job, a*****e.

    BF Stood Me Up

    Blurred festive scene with toppled Christmas tree, ornaments scattered, representing holiday accidents.

    Ended up at a holiday themed pop up bar, alone. Ended up paying $8 for a $2 beer. Stared at my feet the floor and the walls for what felt like an eternity watching other couples and families interact and engage in the festivities. I want to crawl into a deep hole and disappear. I’m so embarrassed.

Sadly I know people who went to a wedding a few days ago with toddler COVID positive and had family over when then mom got it too.... I hate this so much. COVID is still not a joke. It can feel like a slight cough but also can crush your immune system without your notice, can damage your lungs, brain and more. Your never know. First time could be slight infection, third time hard...I don't want to put this on others. And don't want it to be worse than the last time I still after months have a headache every day (thankfully a nose spray for hay fever or so now helps but I feel it, when I forget to take the spray... No idea how long I need to take it)

    I got away with no COVID for 3 and a half years. Then went back to the UK. The day I was supposed to go back to Beijing, I tested positive. That was s**t as China was strict then... Now they'll let you on the plane regardless. The airport staff at Heathrow said they could let me on the plane, but there was a non-zero chance I could be (very expensively) knocked back at Beijing capital airport... Decided not to risk it for a biscuit, as luckily I got my ticket on a Chinese app, so I was able to get a 50% refund on the day!

    From OP on Reddit: "Was meant to be a green and red marble fondant cake. The wee one chose the colours. We prepped the fondant and began rolling it. Was looking pretty good at this point, but here wasn't enough icing sugar on the work surface. So it got stuck. Had to peel it off and start again.. at this point the colour turned to what you see, and the wee one put some dabs of green on and rolled it in with the rolling pin, giving that green decaying look. This and also being in a hurry to leave the house on time contributed to this disaster. Honestly, it was made with the best intentions.. im somewhat proud at how bad it is. If this were Halloween, it'd be great!"

    Okay, this is fixable. Peel off the fondant and toss it in a bowl. (Or just toss it and use buttercream icing.) Put the cake in the fridge to firm up. Mix in red food coloring until the fondant is a decent shade, or if it's too muddy to salvage add other colors until you get a nice brown. CAREFULLY roll out and reapply to the chilled cake, taking your time to stretch and smooth. Decorate with white icing. If the fondant is brown, dye the icing green and pipe on Christmas trees, decorating with sprinkles for ornaments.

    Boss Canceled Our Christmas Party Cause This Broke The Bank

    Assorted candy bars on a teal polka dot background, featuring playful puns.

    I found out we had canceled the yearly Christmas party / bonus. A multi store owner within a large corporate chain food company allowed our management to instead do this for the staff of say 60 employees per store. Upon completing this project along with a few other miscellaneous gifts (donuts, Doritos, and [get this] oranges,) he told us this gesture was “breaking the bank.” Love it here.

    Whilst I understand your angst, remember the business owner might be telling the truth, his company might be skating the edge and he is doing what he can. We run a business and this year we could only make a small christmas party, I cooked all the food because catering would have cost too much, we had it at our place because we couldnt pay for a venue and whilst we smiled and did our best, in the back of my mind was all of the bills sitting in my office that had not been paid:(

    I Was Working In The ICU During Christmas Dinner. My Family Sent Me Pictures Of The Feast And Were Saving Me Leftovers. Today I Received Those Leftovers

    Christmas accident with burnt ham in foil tray on stove.

    Not even a bun or a measly potato. I’ve missed a lot of family dinners in the past and usually they send me ham, turkey and plenty of sides. So it seems I was an afterthought this year. I know I should be grateful I got something but it still feels pretty bad.

    Surprised A Mobile Home Park With A 10ft Christmas Tree And It Was Stolen The Next Day

    Christmas accident scene with fallen tree seen from car window on cloudy day.

    I spent a few years of my childhood at this mobile home park and it was pretty rough. Now that I’m older and am more connected to the community I was able to get a bunch of stuff donated and held a little giveback event this weekend. One of the things I was most stoked about was this giant 10ft Christmas tree someone chopped down for us. I got it cleared with the park manager and I put a bunch of cinder blocks on the stand thinking that’d prevent it from being messed with. Came back the next morning to add a few more ornaments and it was gone :(

    I’m pretty sad but trying to prove to this community that we can’t be knocked down! Trying to brainstorm something else to bring back like some cinder blocks and shape them into a small igloo like tree and paint some rocks to look like ornaments but I’m worried that might not be as cute as I’m imaging.. The other idea is another tree and something else extremely heavy..? we can’t really install anything permanent and working with a limited budget/not really wanting to ask people to donate after all they’ve done already. Let me know your ideas!

    I had a landlord in Tucson that managed a hovel apartment complex that was predominantly refugees. He took great pride in telling everyone how he was helping these people. He "helped" run a Toys For Tots drive each Christmas. I witnessed this man and his large, well-to-do family go thru alllll the boxes, take what they liked and then distribute the dregs to the kids they were meant for. Some people won't let others have nice things. And be careful where you donate.

    Old tires built up in layers? Paint them green paint. Paint on some ornaments, get the community to help, they can put their names on one of the ones they paint and add the year and it becomes a keepsake and a record for the community!!! And attach lights. Every year it can be unassembled and reassembled next year in a different configuration and just reattach the lights!

    I Got Tipped A Chocolate Coin At A High Scale Insurance Company Xmas Party

    Gold chocolate coin placed on a green and black surface, symbolizing Christmas mishaps.

    I work as a bartender at a high scale banquete hall and we have a 700 person event for a rather large insurence company. Not only did someone think it was funny to tip me a chocolate coin, but ive only made $60 in tips ontop of that tonight :/. I only make min wage.

    I don't live where we tip like that- in a banquet hall with a lot of guests, is it expected everyone tips? And would the company be the ones paying the actual bill, and if so, how does everyone know how much their individual tip is expected to be?

    At an open bar banquet like a company Christmas party or a wedding guests aren't typically expected to tip though many still do. But in situations where tips are expected, staff don't know exactly how much they'll make but if they have experience at that venue, they'll have a pretty good idea of the range. Like the bar I managed in NYC, bartenders knew that Friday night, cash bar in private party room, 6 hours, expect to make about $300-400. Saturday night maybe $350-450. You just get a sense of what to expect.

    Update: We Bought A Quest 3 From Walmart And Opened It On Christmas. There Was A Broken Quest 2 Inside

    Box of Meta Quest 3 headset opened on table, possibly a Christmas accident.

    We dug through the trash and found our receipt. We brought the quest to Walmart and the store manager came out and said there was nothing he could do. He would not even replace it with another unit. We told him we don't want money we just want what we paid for but he just kept telling us to call corporate.
    We called corporate and they said they can't override a manager's decision. I posted on X(FKAT) and meta support reached out and urged us to open a support ticket. So we're waiting on their response now

    The poor CSR answering the phones so customers can't actually get through to anyone with authority in corporate is the one who can't override the store manager. The policy is to make it so difficult to get a resolution that most people will just give up. It's sickening and I hope OP is able to follow through.

    This is why you should bust that box open in the store, right after its paid for. Cashier might be annoyed or give you funny looks, but don't give a darn about that. Make sure you got what you paid for BEFORE leaving the store.

    WalMart gives their store managers discretionary power over corporate rules for customers and employees. You can take an issue all the way up the ladder, but they have it set up so that there is no legal liability. If there are enough complaints about a manager, they might get demoted or relocated. Lawsuits are useless unless you have enough for a class action.

    Winco! Ruining Christmas Suppers Everywhere!!

    Two packs of brown and serve dinner rolls, unopened and ready for a holiday meal, related to Christmas accidents.

    Went to Winco 3 days before Christmas to get all the supper fixings. I hosted Xmas Eve supper for about 15 people. I pull the rolls out to brown them in the oven before serving and just look!!! The date even says Dec 29!!!
    My sister who is hosting Xmas supper today grabbed the bread she got from Winco to make the stuffing and guess what?! It was also moldy and and not past the sell by date!! A different type of Winco bread at a differnt Winco store even!
    Guess what I will never be buying at Winco again?!

    Oh and if anyone's wondering, the standard rental rates on insurance jobs are $50 per red air mover per day, $100 for the HEPA filters, and there's probably 6-10 large dehumidifiers lurking nearby somewhere where their tubes can get down a drain, usually bathroom or kitchen. Those are $100/day too. Looking at $2500/day in rental costs alone, plus $50/hr labor per tech. Call it $10k just to get it dry, and another $20k to get it good as new or better. Emergency resto work is a goldmine for the owners

    That means a sewer backup. I used to work fire/flood/trauma restoration work and that's a very clean pro job. Contaminated carpet out and glue cleanly scraped, floor sanitized, the 1 ft cut means it didn't soak far and the red air movers will have it dry in about 48 hrs, and that blue thing is very high capacity air purifier HEPA filter. You can see that they removed the wood strapping that was framing the doors too. That whole job can have the drywall patched, painted, and the carpet replaced within a week.

    Multifocal pneumonia is a lung infection that appears in more than one area of one or both lungs. Though viruses, bacteria, or fungi can cause it, the illness is most often caused by viruses. Additionally, symptoms of multifocal pneumonia tend to be more severe than the symptoms of other kinds of pneumonia.

    Wait, there are still Christmas ornaments around with strings? As far as I can remember, we had little, double-sided "hooks". Makes it so much easier to hang (and also remove) the ornaments on (from) the tree's branches.

    If he still had the receipts of the games, you could have took them back and they would have removed them. One time I bought couple pair of pants. They had security tags on them. I used the self check out so I did not get the security case removed. Had to take the pants back with the receipts to have them removed.

    Merry Christmas To Me

    Car repair invoice detailing parts and labor costs including timing belt and brake pad replacement after a Christmas accident.

    My car is 20 yrs old. I cant afford to buy a new one, and I cant afford to fix it. I let it sit bc it had a (minor but smoky) oil leak and a headlight out. This doesnt include the cost to fix the A/C, the headlight (have to buy a complete new headlight, not just the bulb) and new tires. Pretty sure the only option to sell it is to a junk car buyer and then I would just be out of a car at this point. I can only "afford" to fix part of it as i will max out both of my CCs. Honestly not even sure what choice is best at this point. The car only has 133k miles and runs great when operational. They are quoting me 3,600$ to fix it and thej i will have to pay another few hundred for tires/headlight just to get it operational.

    Yeah me too! I bought an old used truck for pulling the horse trailer and the "good" mechanic place told me it would be almost $1,000 to get it in shape to pass inspection. Someone told me about an different "no frills" place and they did everything for about $100 and the truck was absolutely perfect. I assume they tried to rip me off since I'm a woman. :(

    I don't see their labor costs, so they're being a bit unethical. Should list price of parts and labor separately. I dropped my car off for a 60k service, they found a problem with my transmission and needed to replace it. When my car was finally ready, I went to pick it up, expecting a bill around $300 & was STUNNED that it was $1800 with most of the price being $1000 in labor. Merry Christmas, they said. But that included my deductible for the new transmission, which is much better than the old one, the free front brakes and rotors also under warranty. So.... it is what it is.

    Were they that color when you got them? How long did you have them before opening? Did you store them properly? It looks to me like you went with a good company and bought quality meat, then left it in the original wrapper in the fridge for too long.

    Sometimes there's an accident somewhere along the route, especially when the thing ordered has to cross a couple states. Trucks get overturned and all the packages inside get scrapped, so your ordered gets sent again, starting from the original location. I drive trucks and there's a wrecker yard along I-84 that has a very damaged Amazon trailer in it with at least 3/4 of the trailer still full of packages. Perhaps that is what happened to yours?

    It's very pricey, but it's an artificial tree and one would expect to get a great many years of use out of it. Over time, it's not a bad investment. (As long as it doesn't get stolen off one's porch, of course.)

    Did This Annoyingly Difficult Prize Puzzle Just To Find Out After That It Was Used And The Code Had Already Been Redeemed

    A QR code puzzle assembled on a wooden table, possibly linked to Christmas accidents or a bad day theme.

    Received this puzzle as a Christmas gift. The puzzle was pretty bad quality and that made it really hard to do, but it was a fun concept and promised you could win some cash prizes, including a million dollars! It was in a sealed package, but we found out after that it came from a bookstore that sells used books and games, and they shrink-wrapped it. When we finished it and scanned the code, it had already been redeemed. Worked on it all day and joked we would end up with the lowest prize of $1, but we didn’t even get that, ha.

    On the plus side, you can say goodbye to the salt-grinder. Grinding pepper as needed tastes better because it releases the natural oils which otherwise dry up. Salt is a mineral so it has no oils. Unless you're grinding it to a size that's not commercially available, there's really no point.

    Tbf, if the frame is bent/damaged that can total a vehicle. This appears to be approximately a 2006 Lexus IS 250, so if it got hit hard enough, into the curb, it could easily do enough damage to total it.

    I Got This Toy Slot Machine For My Family’s Delayed Christmas Party, It Broke Within Minutes And I Was Really Enjoying It

    Toy slot machine with jackpot symbols, held by a person in a festive setting.

    The little handle still makes a clicking noise and snaps back but there is no longer any resistance when pulling it and it no longer spins.

    Stalled One Street Away From Home

    White van stuck in flooded suburban street, illustrating Christmas accident.

    We’ve been having torrential rains here in the Northeast since the early morning. I was on my way home with my 4-year-old son, and we were no more than 30 seconds from our house when our minivan died. There was a DPW truck in the road that gave me a false sense of security that the road wasn’t too flooded. Now we’re down a car and $300 in tow fines, and don’t yet know how much it’ll cost to get the car repaired. Merry Christmas!

    I Came Home From A Long Day At Work And This Man Stole Our Cat’s Christmas Gift Along With Our Replacement TV Remote

    A delivery person carrying a package slips on icy steps near a red car, illustrating Christmas accidents.

    At approximately 3:09PM, an Amazon package was marked delivered at our door with a photo of the delivery provided thru Amazon.

    My wife returns at 4:18pm, and comes across no packages at our door. Here is what my Wyze camera picked up in between that time:

    I have 2 cameras, both at the front window and towards the rear parking lot. Funnily enough, shortly after Amazon and USPS had done their deliveries, this man had appeared from across the parking lot with nothing in hand.

    The shared mailbox is across the parking lot where the man is moving away from as seen in the first photo, meaning if there were any packages meant for him thru USPS, he would have picked them up there. Unfortunately, this was not case, and after seemingly approaching our building, he had reappeared on camera, seeming leaving with our cat’s heated mat (their christmas gift) in between his shoulders while likely pocketing the replacement TV remote as that much easier to hide.

    Funnily enough, at one point he can be witnessed making a conscious effort to avoid our camera as he had trotted back and forth multiple times.. it’s laughable.

    Honestly man, if this is you, you’re a jerk. You stole a Christmas gift that my wife and I bought for our 2 year old and 7 year old fur babies.. I couldn’t care less about the stolen remote but this is absolutely low.

    I’m Alone For Christmas, New Years, And My Birthday

    Cat sticking out tongue, looking mischievous indoors, hinting at Christmas accidents.

    So basically, I moved abroad for school and didn't have a ton of extra money around for flights home/anywhere over winter break. Last year, my partner stayed with me and it was wonderful. Her best friend came to visit shortly after Christmas. Understandably, they took some time to just be by themselves and catch up and do things, which was fine. I did get sad being alone for most of NYE last year, when the best friend was my partners first NYE kiss (v much not a "real" kiss and I got one right after- was simply sad watching everyone do it around me and to be just standing there and when they went off for a few hours by themselves on my birthday. I kept telling myself "next year I will have my partner and none of this will matter, next year it'll be good and I'll get to do all of these things". So now it's next year, and my partner is spending the holidays with their family. I don't have a great relationship w my parents but I hold absolutely no resentment for wanting to be there with family. Honestly, I feel like l'd be fine with all of it if they weren't missing over half of my birthday (Jan 4- sucky birthday all in all & sending love to my late dec/early Jan babies). A few months ago when they told me the plans, I did get really sad, and had talked honestly with them about if it'd be possible to move the flight one day earlier so l'd have someone. Unfortunately that wasn't possible as their family bought the flights and planned it all Nobody else is home until after my birthday and v friends here are also still away.

    So I know this has been a thing but honestly I've been crying myself to sleep every night of this holiday break. Not that I'm overly attached to Christmas or new years, I think just the combination of what happened last year and the fact that I know nobody will be here the night or morning of my birthday is making me so sad every single day. I keep thinking about how I had so much hope to be with them this year and it turned out to be way less than even last year was. I feel like I'm making everyone feel guilty when I talk about my emotions around it, and I just want to find a way to let myself sleep and tell myselt it'll be ok. And to also get it out of my head that this will be a memory covering the holiday season for the rest of my life. It's just SAD right now.

    I'm in OP's boat this year. My sister went to Miami for Christmas/New Years with her friend (who lives with us) to spend the holidays with that friend's family, which my sister has been doing for like 15 years now. My mom decided that she would rather to go to her favorite Native American/Indian casino for Christmas than spend the holiday with me. She do love her slot machines. I don't currently have any IRL friends because I just escaped from a very bad relationship where I was isolated and not allowed to have friends. It's currently 5:15am on Christmas Day and I haven't even gone to sleep yet, because I'm feeling rather blue. Luckily I have my pets, so I know once it's daylight out I'll feel better because I'll play with them and have them "open" their Xmas presents :)

    I'm sorry that you won't have many people to spend Christmas day with, this year, but honestly it may just be one of the best Christmas days you've had in years. You get to spend time with your amazing fur babies, who always know just how to cheer you up. Don't have to listen to family nagging or complaining, no need to constantly walk on eggshells to try to avoid any abuse from your ex and you have the house to yourself and the animals. I know it's probably not the best Christmas and maybe if you didn't live on the other side of the country, from me, it would make having IRL friends a little easier. Lol I hope you and your babies had an awesome Christmas! 🎄🎁☃️

    My Neighbor Gave Everyone A Christmas Ornament Except Me

    Christmas accident with a dropped ornament and card on the floor near a door, highlighting a festive mishap.

    I (27F) just bought and moved into my first apartment in July and have met everyone on my floor (they’re all at least a decade older than me). We say hello in the street as well.
    I opened my door today to see that the neighbor across the hall has left every single other apartment on my floor a cute Christmas ornament with a card with their name on it except mine.
    I don’t know them too well, but I have helped them with groceries and lent them eggs before. I get that it’s fair to not leave me anything, but it still didn’t feel great seeing everyone else’s.

    At boarding school was year there was a gift exchange, $5 limit (in the early 70s), everyone drew names from a bowl but there was a lot of trading so people could gift someone they liked. In all the trading, no one would take my name. I never knew why. One of the counselors found out about this and gave me a tin of sardines, which I love, but to this day that memory still hurts. Yes, I gave a gift to person who's name I drew.

    OP doesn't clarify on this post, so I checked her other posts. She has suffered from postpartum depression, has struggled with ADHD, and has also struggled with alcoholism. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that OP is NOT a horrible person, she has just struggled with some issues and has maybe not had much support/help. I don't know what happened to cause her to feel like she "ruined Xmas", but please, if you feel like OP, reach out. Talk to someone. You are probably not as horrible, useless, worthless, and sh!tty as you THINK you are. That is your brain lying to you. You are worth it and deserve love and happiness. We all struggle with stuff. I had a substance addiction for years. I don't like myself very much. But I know I do have things I can do for others and give to others. If you need someone to talk to this holiday season, my contact info is on my profile. You are NOT worthless. I care about you, even if we have never spoken before. <3

    Lakota, you are amazing. I know you said this Christmas is not what you would have hoped for it to be, but I am sending you the biggest and brightest Christmas wishes I have. Few people on BP have the kindness and wisdom you do. You, Shyla (I hope her holidays are super), Auntriarch, and Nathaniel are exceptional and mean so much to me although we are only internet acquaintances. Thank you for your strength, your wit, and your insight. Merry Christmas! 🎄 🐼 🤗

    I have looked at OP's post and I think I can translate. For the last 53 years, OP's mother has only given out cups/plates of the Spode brand as gifts. I assume OP has gotten Spode china sets for decades. This year, OP's mother also gifted Spode china sets to OP's two sons, who are young men who probably don't give a sh!t about fine china/plates. And because these plates are breakable, they are packed carefully with a TON of packing material (seen in the second photo) so there's a huge mess of packing material to clean up after opening a gift of Spode.

    Spode is a brand of dishware, specifically known for it's Christmas themed china. People who are into special occasion dinnerware would typically have a service for 8-12. It looks like this grandma bought new sets over and over.

    I inherited that Christmas set from my mother who got it from her mother. Used them last night. And a Blue Cornflower set of casserole and other dishes from my mother. The Mrs was so jealous,

    I hope so, how many other people could it have been? Otherwise, quit the "boomer bashing" unless you've got proof.

    You can't possibly recover from this horrific event. Nothing to do now but throw the whole toddler away.

    Is this someone who goes on about the sanctity of meat? l can't see how this could be ruined otherwise.

    As long as it didn't go bad, it still should be able to cook it.
