Whether we like it or not, sometimes Christmas day celebrations take a different turn. Even if we buy our gifts weeks ahead and carefully plan everything to the smallest detail, things don’t always go the way we want them to.
Whether your present is shattered into pieces or the Christmas tree is slowly going up in flames—there’s plenty of room for error. However, it’s all about finding the humor when disaster strikes.
In honor of the holiday season, Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most hilarious holiday fails that will definitely lift your spirits up. So scroll down, upvote your favorite ones and after you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts about the little fiascos here and here.
#1 I Grabbed A Bottle Of Spray That Deters Cats From Chewing On Things, Sprayed It All Over My Christmas Tree. It Was A Catnip Spray Bottle
All over. 50 squirts at least. Then I went to put the spray back on the shelf and realized I grabbed the wrong bottle. Now I can’t get them away from it.
This is the most chaotic thing that’s ever happened. They’ve knocked down a branch, the star, and all of the ornaments that were on the lower half. Omg.
