funniest or most embarrassing holiday memory....

Tweet

This just came to mind and I have to post it, just cause it caused me to start laughing uncontrollably. I was about 5 and we went to spend christmas at my aunt and uncles... My aunt had to have everything perfect since this was the first year that the holidays were at her house. Well my uncle had brought in this HUGE tree. I mean the thing was gynormous..... anyway... he set it up and my aunt decorated it. They had really tall ceilings in their living room so that is where the tree went. well, my aunt had the decorations perfect and there was a space that was open at the top of the wall and my uncle decided that the tree needed one last thing.. he went out to the garage and brought back in cans of flocking.... you know the fake snow in a can.... he climbed the wall and covered the tree... well, i was standing across the room looking at the tree and i noticed that an ornament was crooked, I went over and adjusted it.... that tiny little ornament set the whole huge tree off balance..... all that I remember is my dad and uncle grbbing my arms and jerking me out of the way just as the tree came crashing down right on the spot where I was at. We have pictures.... my aunt is crying... the rest of us are laughing. there are lights and ornaments everywhere and we are all covered in white powder.... the whole living room was.... That just goes to show you that bigger isn't better when it comes to christmas trees.... Another christmas I went with the same aunt and uncle to my uncle's mom's house... my aunt had told us of the horror stories of how this crazy old lady decorated. Well my mom wanted pictures of the tacky decorations... so the whole time that we were there my aunt and I.... mission impossible style, went through her house without her knowing and we took pictures of everything in every room. Looking back at the pictures... that was the tackiest house that I have ever seen in my life... without the tacky holiday decorations. so now I want to hear about your funniest, most embarrassing or just tacky holiday memory..... come on now...i gave you 2 to laugh at.
