The holiday season can be a special, magical time. I have always been a huge fan of Christmas, myself, and usually, the whole month of December puts a smile on my face.
However, one of the reasons this time of year is so special is that we can often get together with family and celebrate all the good things that happened in the year. If your year has not been as good, or you can’t get together with certain family members for some reason, it may not be so special.
A lot of us found it hard to enjoy the holidays during the height of COVID since we weren’t allowed to see family and friends. This difficulty during the holidays extends to more than just pandemics, however.
Redditors have lots of stories about why Christmas Eve is already ruined for them this year.
Some of these stories are funny, and some are sad, but all of them are valid.
Curious to know more, Redditor Downtown_Put8673 asked:
“Is your Christmas Eve ruined already? If so, why?”

Worst Ever Wake Up Call
"Woke up at 2am to my mom falling, having a seizure. She fractured her back in the fall. We’ve been at the ER since 3am.. it’s currently after noon."
"**Edit: it’s currently after 9pm and we have been back home since 4pm."
"My mom can shuffle around the house but needs help getting into bed. I got her in bed about a half hour ago and can hear her snoring now."
"I’m laying down for the first time since this is started and finally hope to fall asleep. Staying close by on sofa in the living room so I can hear her better. Terrified something will happen."
"My mom lives with my husband and I- but I asked him to go still see his family tonight and tomorrow while I stay here. I’ll miss seeing them but glad my mom is here and feeling better."

Money Troubles
"I woke up, went to go buy bagels for the family, and found out my debit card info was stolen. Between last night and this morning they spent every dollar in my account on Uber, Uber Eats, and some f*cking jukebox somewhere. I had less than $300, now I have less than $2 and won’t get the credit back in my account until Monday and won’t get my new card until 10 business days from now. Good thing I already had my bus ticket, my girlfriend lent me $30 to cover the bagels then another $6 charge went through while I was on the phone with my bank."
"F*ckin scumbags, I know this sh*t happens all the time but TODAY? Really?"

Big Hole!
"Some drunk b*stard reversed into my downstairs living room at 10 am, he then drove into the guys who lives opposite's kitchen, he got arrested then the fire brigade came and inspected the house to see if still stucturally fine so we had to evacuate and they just now got done putting in wooden boards in the hole he left in the front of the house. Now we will have to get insurance involved and find builders but everything is closed for now so big headache."
– Separate_Rip_8762
This Doesn't Sound Good
"Mother in law appears to be on a rampage. My MIL and SIL planned Christmas events for that side of the family to take place NYE weekend without telling us, and we had already made plans to go visit my family. We asked if they would be available to spend xmas eve/day all together instead and they all said no, so we changed our trip to be today and tomorrow. Two days ago we get a text asking if we want to spend xmas eve and day with them ON TOP of NYE weekend. We said we couldn't because we changed our trip to accommodate the NYE weekend and they told us they were all unavailable. My MIL had been calling repeatedly since then. I'm not picking but apparently she is sobbing and telling my husband we are ruining xmas. I will never understand why grown adults act this way."
– juniperdaisies
How Awful!
"My husband is suffering from sudden hearing loss and it's been getting worse. He couldn't hear me at the grocery store today and burst into tears. We made the decision to take a step back from hearing aids and learn ASL."
"It's been a rough day."
– iam_four_eels
Gifts Are So Hard
"Nothing has gone wrong YET. but my husband did say something along the lines of “I hope you don’t get me a ______ for Christmas” and it’s exactly what I got him soooooo…."
"Edit: if he is in anyway not stoked about his gift I’ll for sure be showing him this thread lol."
"Edit EDIT: HE LOVED IT. But for sure said no coat thinking it was an everyday one, not a functional work one. Christmas was a success ☺️"

Christmas Spirit Is Lost Here
"My kids told me my presents were lame and that they were embarrassed by me and couldn’t wait to go to their dad’s house. I’m having surgery on Tuesday and won’t see them for three weeks. I know they’re just kids, but it broke my heart."
"ETA: I got them everything that was on their carefully curated Amazon wishlists. Dad tipped them off ahead of time that their paternal grandmother had gotten them an Oculus Rift and AirPods. They're usually really good kids and my ex and I coparent wonderfully along with my husband, so I don't think it was malicious on his part, but it just really kicked me in the gut."

Car Alarm Twist
"A man knocked on my door, yelling and shouting. I left a note on his car last week that his car alarm goes off all night. This is apparently worth trying to threaten me. Merry Christmas."
"Update: I saw him outside Christmas afternoon. I approached him, apologized for my note (because I do regret opening up this can of worms). He told me his 80 year old mom lives nearby. She’s getting older and sicker, so he tries to visit often but his car keeps getting broken into if he parks near her house, and my street is safer. We had a nice conversation."
"Two things: first, most people in this world are hurt or unwell. I often fail but I try to stop the cycle of inflicting anger, harm, even just a bad day on others. Hurt people hurt people."
"Second, you can be right or you can be happy. I’m absolutely right that his car alarm is annoying as f*ck. But what’s more important is that I’m happy living in my house and not afraid, not stressed out by life."
– dcblunted
Sad Goodbyes
"We had a call from the care home where my mother is staying, we went to say our goodbyes even though she's unconscious. The care home is currently under Covid lockdown, but they allowed us in, so we knew it was serious. The staff there have been fantastic."
"Update: Mum died just after midnight, She's at peace now. I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who sent me messages and comments of support and condolence, you are all so very kind."
– happycamperii
"Got that same call from my old man’s care home back in April, a day after my birthday. The nurse said he was asleep but she was kind enough to put the phone on speaker and let me talk to him about my fondest memories of childhood. I talked to him about my Optimus Prime toy I got for Christmas one year and orange slices at soccer practice and lots of good stuff."
"We didn’t have the easiest relationship when I got older b/c of my recognition of his diagnoses for his difficulties (hoarding/OCD/NPD/BPD) but the nurse said he was crying as he was sleeping. That hurt but helped, still haven’t worked out how to feel about that or what it means."
"Today would have been his 77th birthday. He was a complicated fella but he wasn’t all bad. That’s what I take away from this holiday. Love to you and your family, and anyone else who went through anything similar or really, anyone going through a tough time. I can promise you it gets better."
– Introverted_Extrovrt
Should've Seen It Coming
"Took bottle of gin out of the bag. Put bottle of gin on the kitchen counter. Go get bottle of tonic from the storage closet. Return to the kitchen just in time to see the cat pushing the bottle of gin onto the floor."
– UnoriginalUse
"Rookie mistake. Next time, pour some for the cat right away and the cat won't try to open the bottle on its own."

How People's Family Christmas Celebrations Have Been Absolutely Ruined
It's nice to imagine that when the holidays come around, we'll be able to spend the day with the people we love, showing gratitude for everything we've received.
But sometimes bad news or bad moods still show up on the holidays, and we have to figure out how to still be grateful for what's waiting under the Christmas tree.
Ready to stir it up, Redditor onakaiserbun asked:
"Who ruined your family Christmas this year, and what did they do?"
So Supportive
"Grandma called my degree useless and a waste of time and not gonna lie, that hurt and ruined Christmas for me."
"I just graduated this year and wasn’t even able to go to my own graduation because of the pandemic. I went to a top-10 college, too."

Happy Anniversary
"My ex divorced me this year, finalized on what would have been my 11th year anniversary."
"She took the kids and moved 900 miles away. I’m so sad all the time now. Even having my kids with me for Christmas, I feel empty. All I want is my family back."
- taviken
Alone for Christmas
"I was planning to go spend Christmas with my mom and dad this year after my nine-year relationship (together for nine, engaged for a year and a half) broke off just before Christmas. I just moved out, so I'm alone for the first time in nine years."
"Then my dog got a stomach bug. He woke me up three times at night to go outside for a poo (he usually sleeps through the night with no problem) and I discovered a pile of puke on his dog bed."
"It's not his fault, but I don't know if I can go anywhere today."

Not the Present You'd Want
"My wife. A couple of weeks ago she broke the news to me that she had an affair at the beginning of this year, and wants a divorce."
- Di5cipl355
Thanks, Mom
"My mother got belligerently drunk and locked herself in the closet. Then she vomited and my Dad and I were trying to drag her into her bed. She then proceeded to get violent with me and kicked me in the face."
"It’s a terrible feeling especially when the person won’t recognize they need help. It’ll get better some day."
- riverofdenali
"No Christmas Hallucinogens Allowed"
"My cousin, who bought Chic-fil-A so he wouldn't have to eat our homemade meals, announced upon arriving he wasn't helping with anything, tried to trip acid all day on Christmas Eve, got drunk before noon by himself on that same day when I told him no Christmas hallucinogens, and drunkenly screamed in my face when I told him to clean up his dishes and beer cans."
- VoteGeriatric2020
History Repeating Itself
"My girlfriend's sister... She has three young girls and a terrible choice of men, and she chooses today via a video of the kids to reveal to everybody that she is now dating a well-known junkie within our town."
"She has a very addictive personality and has struggled to stay clean herself, and my girlfriend is now ridiculously stressed out and worried for the kids."
- BlackHammer1312
Downplaying the Pandemic
"My mom. She hid the fact she has multiple viral symptoms. I was with her all night last night. I only found out because I heard her on the phone with my grandma asking her if she maybe has the virus."
"I only agreed to come up because I missed Thanksgiving due to the pandemic being bad in their county. I felt guilt-tripped into coming home for Christmas and now once I get back, I’ll be quarantined and have to take time off work."

Terrible News

"All my pandemic tests were negative. So we did a CT scan that led to biopsies. Got the results three days ago. I’m only 29 years old, just finished grad school, and landed my dream job three weeks ago."
"Take a lesson from me and make an extra effort to be kind to the people around you each day. Life is too short to be a jerk. And life is too short to not help those around you who are less fortunate, be kind to everyone, you won’t regret it."
- xLabGuyx
Merry Christmas, Migraine

- vrosej10
Carer Fatigue
"My dad was hospitalized for alcoholism recently and now he's home. I'm the only family member left who will take care of him and help organize his care/life since my brother doesn't have any capacity to care whatsoever and is off having a happy little Christmas of his own."
"I came to spend Christmas with my dad even though he's in a bad mood and argumentative about things, he has carers that come in four times a day between 7 AM and 10 PM, which does not change over the holidays."
"I found that two expensive items have been stolen from his house last night (there are only carers that come in so it must have been them), had 2 hours of sleep last night because my dad has a searing toothache, and today I've had to call the medical care line to book a dental appointment for Sunday for him so will have to extend my stay with him to take care of that and get him there, even though I can't drive."
"There's no Christmas dinner, nothing special at all, and I'm very tired."
- Soundasleepx
Dog Surprise
"My kid's dog. The little b**tard broke his leash and took off for parts unknown."
"He came back an hour later with muddy feet and a s**t-eating grin like an hour of unsupervised freedom was his Christmas gift to himself. So it's not really ruined."
- SourImplant
When we think of the holidays, we like to think of the beautiful decorations, music, presents, and good food. Unfortunately, bad times still come around during the holidays, and sometimes, it feels like they show up even more so.
As long as we can remember the little things that make us happy, hopefully we can make a happy, if not simpler and less conventional, holiday for ourselves!
The Biggest 'F**k You' Christmas Present Someone Can Give
Gift giving can be hard, especially if you're not sure what the person will like or what they might need.
It's a lot less hard if your goal is to let someone know exactly how much you loathe them, though.
Then you get to get really creative.
Whether it's regifting, getting them something that's obviously from the dollar store or getting their kids the noisiest toy on the planet, there are many evil ways to tick people off with gifts.
Redditor Killmumger asked:
"What's the most 'f**k you' present you can give someone for Christmas?"
Only most of the gift
"Regifting a gift basket but it's obvious that you took out some items that you liked."
- 12thNJ
"Box of mixed chocolates but you’ve picked out all the good ones."

"He had removed the bell."
- I-used-to-be-cool-
"Are you sure there was a bell in the first place? Snarkily insulting cards and gifts are pretty common."
- Rapid-Disassembly
"Nah. He had the bell. It was a bike bell."
"He is funny and would have come up with the idea and been laughing all the way up to keeping the straight face as he gave it to me."

"This is an especially big fuck you because the person in whose name you make the donation can’t even deduct it on their taxes. Only the person who actually made the donation can."

Not quite enough
"A $5 Starbucks gift card. Very few drinks on the menu are less than $5. They’ll most certainly have to pay the difference on the first and only use"
- SortaSticious
"Better yet like a $20 gift card to a really fancy expensive restaurant. Not nearly enough to make a dent in the bill but enough that you would feel bad not using it."
- GetAwayFromMeYouFish
All the noises
"if they are a parent, gift their kids something that makes noise."
- JangoBunBun
"Literally bought my niece and nephew an accordion and a recorder."
- dominationnation
"When my sister's 2nd kid turned 1, I got him a toy key ring/fob that had buttons he could push to make noise. I replaced the cheap batteries with Energizer Lithium and applied Loctite to the screws on the battery door. For good measure, I used a drill to strip the heads of the screws. Then I carefully repackaged it."
"I doubt that damned thing made it all the way back to Arizona from Alabama. Totally worth it, though."
- MrBarraclough
"You evil genius. Thanks for the idea!"
- FlyingTerrier
As you can see, there's quite a bit of variety available for telling someone you can't stand them with gifts. Just get creative, the sky is the limit.
While Christmas is meant to celebrate the spirit of giving, there's nothing wrong with being excited by the prospect of all the things you're going to get.
After all, it isn't just wide-eyed children who can't wait to unwrap those presents lying under the tree or nestled in the toe of their stockings.
Of course, sometimes what lies beneath the wrapping paper doesn't always fill our hearts with glee.
Worse yet, even if it is indeed something we will never wear or use, we sometimes have to put on a good face, as the person who gave it to us might be sitting right next to us.
Resulting in our desperately searching for words to show our appreciation... as we contemplate what we'll exchange it for on December 26th.
"What’s the worst Christmas gift you’ve received that you had to pretend to like?"
It's The Thought That Counts... Or Is It?

"I was 7."- wewimev411
At Least It Made For A Good Story
"My wife’s grandmother, who has now passed was a wonderful person who had very little money but a heart of gold."
"However, as in life, her mind wasn’t all there the last few years of her life."
"My family and hers have always gotten together for the holidays and we all enjoy exchanging gifts with one another."
"During our Last Christmas with her she gifted me, then 36 M[ale], a pair of, used, toddler sized Lighting McQueen underwear that had come through her church thrift store because she knew that I love the movie 'Cars'."
"This was probably one of the most awkward, memorable moments for opening a present on Christmas Day."
"My wife’s mother still apologizes to me yearly for not checking in on what her grandmother had bought for us that year."
"It’s a great memory to all of us still together at this time."- Thndrdrag
Cheap At Half The Price...
"My brother, who at the time was 30 and had a good decent job, pulled me out of the hat for our family Kris Kringle."
"The spend was supposed to be €40."
"He turned up with a Wii accessory kit, a GameStop branded one."
"I took it with good grace, even though I didn't actually have a Wii."
"I did have an Xbox 360 though, so I figured I'd bring it back to GameStop and swap it for something."
"So when the guy at the counter scanned it, he said it was actually a free gift that they were giving away with new Wii consoles the PREVIOUS Christmas."
"Miserable b*stard."
"The following Christmas he had me again and turned up with nothing, said he'd forgotten the voucher he had bought me for GameStop, didn't even get that one."- Arkslippy
Misleading Packaging
"When I was three I opened a gift from my grandma and it was one of the big cylinders of Quaker Oats."
"I f*cking loved it."
"But then my grandma, chuckling, told me I should look inside the container."
"Inside was a pair of pajamas."
"I started crying because it wasn’t oatmeal."
"After the initial shock, those pajamas were my favorite pajamas for the next year, so it was a good gift but not at first."- origami_alligator
A Date That Will Live In Infamy...
"A Lamborghini calendar."
"My brother got a guitar and amp."
"My two sisters got a bike each."
"I hate Lamborghinis now."- xixac22666
Not Exactly How Re-Gifting Works...
"Getting a shirt from my sister-in-law that was too big, The same shirt my parents gifted to my husband when they came back from a trip to Europe, said shirt we mysteriously weren't able to find in our closet when my husband wanted to wear it for Halloween."
"In honestly would have been perfectly fine with just a card or nothing at all, I'm not materialistic."- Fine-Mushroom3834
How Do You Really Feel?...
"When I was in grade school I like to wear my fingernails long, but my mom hated it."
"Every single year for Christmas she would give me nail clippers."
"And every single year my sister would give me a diary because the first year they did it I was stupid enough to use it but then my whole family turned out to be reading it."
"So every year after that I opened my new diary and thanked her but never touched it again."- According-Type-9664
Hidden Meaning?

By Not Splurging On Christmas Presents?

"It was all about how he became the richest man in Minnesota."
"Cheap bastard."- yolohat266
When opening these most unwanted presents, we usually find ourselves at a loss for words.
The best thing to do in situations like this, is simply tell the truth, by saying:
"I really don't know what to say!"
It's the most festive time of the year.
it's full steam ahead to Christmas.
One of the best things about Christmas is holiday-themed tv shows and movies.
Who doesn't love the classics?
Watching the best holiday films and passing them on to the next generations and loved ones can be such a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Even if your favorite Christmas movie is 'Diehard,' the jollies are there.
Redditor IsaidwhatIsaidSNS wanted to hear about all the best movies that make the holiday season feel merry and bright. So they asked everyone to share:
"What do you think is the number 1 Christmas movie(s) of all time?"
I love Christmas movies. All of them.
But let's pick a few favs.
Christmas Monsters
"I remember watching Gremlins with my daughter when she was younger. I was concerned it might be too scary, that was fine. I nearly forgot about the Santa secret reveal though! Fortunately I remembered in time and fast forwarded past that part."
Eq2me
Artistry in Clay
"'The year without Santa Claus.' I've always been a sucker for claymation."
severley_confused
"The snow/heat miser songs are amazing."
"Everyone loves this one for Snow Miser and Heat Miser. Now, I'm not going to say they aren't great, but for me they're not the reason I like this one so much."
"Santa Claus having a crisis of faith, and realizing the joy he really does bring people, is such a great and well told story. The Believe song is great, blue Christmas is great, and Mickey Rooney gives a hell of a performance."
"I always liked it for that."
Qwerty_Asdfgh_Zxcvb
Hip Hip Hooray
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
tyce2020
"My favorite Christmas movie as well. 'We’re gonna press on and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fu**in’ Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white a** down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of a**holes this side of the nuthouse.”

"I always lose it and start laughing during Sinbad's rant at the toy store when they are waiting for it to opening ''I gotta pay alimony to a woman who had sex with everyone in the post office... BUT ME!!!''
"Or after the bomb goes off in the radio station ''that was really a bomb? THIS IS A SICK WORLD WE'RE LIVING IN, SICK PEOPLE!!!'"
KR_Blade
Kermit & Friends
"Muppets Christmas Carol."
Fessir
"It’s a brilliant adaptation altogether - and Michael Caine’s performance is beautiful. He could’ve played it for jokes but his Scrooge is so genuine. I love the film so much, it’s so moving when it needs to be, and silly when it’s suitable."
kirmobak
The Muppets are always the best.
KEVIN!
"Home Alone."
Electrical_Potato_21
"It's played every year in Polish television for Christmas. Once they said they're not going to air it and people were angry. They reverted the decision. Is it also a must have in other countries?"

Alternatives
"Scrooged. It's a personal favorite."

"I can’t believe how far I had to come to see this. I love this movie. It is #1. It is a gem."
grrargg
"It's a crying shame. I don't know when I saw it first but it's my favorite 'Alternative' Christmas film. Despite being hugely cynical it also doesn't cheap out on the heart. Even now it doesn't feel like Christmas till I hear those credits."
GunstarGreen
"Seriously my favorite Christmas movie. I love it so much."
TwistedNJaded
You're a mean one...
"'How the Grinch Stole the Christmas' Animation movie."
haterkelol
"Assuming we're talking about the 1966 animated version... It's probably not higher on the list because it's a TV special rather than a movie. It’s not even 30 minutes long. It's great though!"
SteinyOLP
"The original has a spirit and authenticity all its own. The live-action and the animated remake are both enjoyable personally, but they’re sapped of true character. It’s like 60s soul vs modern pop music. Both can be pleasant, but one came from the source and the other is over-produced."
blonde-bandit
Thanks Netflix
"Everyone has already said the usual suspects so I wanted to give a nod to a more recent/maybe less known one:"
"'Klaus.' It's on Netflix and it about makes me cry every time. Love that one."
NyukaNyuka
"One of the best things Netflix has ever produced. It's awesome and a top 5 for me."
wronglyzorro
"Klaus is definitely the best Santa origin story."

"It’s damn near 100 years old, but It’s a Wonderful Life still does it for me."
cranes_in_the_sky
"When I was younger I didn’t understand how anyone could like an old black and white movie. I was bored one day, nothing on TV, and decided to watch it. What a fantastic movie! I hated that I never even gave it a chance simply because it was old. It started me on a path of watching old movies and I have loved so many!"
no_no_sorry
I love this list. Time to get jolly.
