It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With every big event though, there always seems to be something that goes awry. This year, ease some of that pre-holiday stress with some hysterical holiday horror stories, straight from the Loco Mag team.
- On our way to visit our grandparents and entire family, my little brother got carsick and threw up on both me and himself. When asked about it, he cried, wiped snot and vomit from his face, and said “I threw up on my handsome clothes.”
- Accidentally told my friend’s brother that Santa wasn’t real. I wasn’t allowed over to their house for a little while.
- When you touch an “Elf on the Shelf,” they lose their magic and you basically set Christmas on fire. Yeah, totally knocked my cousin’s Elf (his name is Feebles) onto the ground. She cried her little face off.
- Not a horror story for myself, but every year my mom sends my brothers and I to get a Christmas tree, and ever year we never fail to find a tree at least a foot taller than our ceiling. Every year said tree has a tendency to fall on my mom. What can we say? We’re great children.
- I finally got the grey cat plushie I had wanted for a very long time, and refused to put it down for the whole day. My mom made me put it on the table in the living room while I washed my hands for dinner. I came back out to see a small grey kitten on top of a burning candle, engulfed in flames. I cried for a long time.
- Getting a stapler for Christmas, every year, from my grandma…
- When I was around eight, my Aunt wanted my cousin and I to take one of those iconic childhood Christmas photos in front of the tree. It would have been a great picture if the tree didn’t start falling on us once we posed for it.
- So when I was twelve my mom made my sister and I take photos with Santa. I was not for it, but I had no choice. Given that fact I was not very happy to see Santa, he could tell that I didn’t want to be there. He told me to stop having an attitude and then tried to fool me with a magic trick. When I asked him to explain how he did it he refused and I left bamboozled and angry.
- Some lady at a Christmas store tried to charge me $25 for a stocking. One stocking.
- Christmas day 2015. I work at a movie theater, and we’re like the only place open. The new Star Wars movie came out so we were super busy. When I got home, most of the food from the Christmas family party was gone. Working on Christmas plus no food after work=nightmare.
- When I was younger, I got a present from “Santa” that was wrapped and felt like a video game I had wished for. I excitedly opened it, but it was a collection of books.
- I got a rock.
