Well we celebrated Christmas early this year with part of my family, and instead of presents for the adults there was a game, a gigantic ball of over 400 feet of tough plastic cling wrap. Inside were good things like gift cards and weird things like gum, bandaids and candy. Each person put on a pair of fuzzy gloves and tried to unwrap it which was extremely difficult and funny trying to get to things inside. Meanwhile the person to the right rolls a dice over and over until they get 6, then they take the ball and it’s their turn. I’ve never seen everyone get so competitive and I ended up with two gift cards some bandaids and a bag of toothpicks! :))

I can't remember a past funny Christmas story, but! I kinda have one for this year. It involves gift buying.
Okay... so, this year, I've been doing a lot of my gift buying online. And my bf has also been ordering things for me and having them shipped to my house because he lives so far away. That being said, it gets hard to keep track of what I bought, and who for. Some of these gifts are for my coworkers, some for my parents, several for my bf, and some have been random things for me. So... packages keep coming and I'm like, "Okay, I'm 98% sure I know what this is. The arrival date adds up given the shipping date, etc." Some come and I'm like, "Not sure what this is, but it's probably one of the things I ordered from -----." One came from my bf, and I was certain it was from him. Many for me, my parents, and my bf came. One package came and my mom handed it to me, and it was in a tube. I had ordered it back in like late November (and got it like a week ago, if that), so I forgot I ordered it. I sat on the couch for like 2-3 hours so confused wondering what the heck it was and where it came from... I kept thinking, "I don't have a clue what this is. It's weird. Why would I order something in a tube???" So I thought maybe my bf ordered it for me. I was gonna ask him. I kept seeing that it said something like "Painting" orsomething like that on the description for customs. I FINALLY opened it and was like, "DUH! This is what I ordered for one of my bosses! I feel so stupid and silly now."

I guess my funniest Christmas story was it a work Christmas party.
First I do have to say that the girls that I work with can be a little bit of a wild bunch. I'm Little Miss naughty even super sweet and will do anything to make people happy. Let's just say I've gotten much more vocabulary and got to know my co-workers a whole lot better than I originally thought. Our first Christmas we rent a party bus and these girls get sloppy drunk. had two girls dancing on a pole and shaking butts in front of everybody's faces grinding up and down on you. With a huge eye-opener for me. That's just a little pretense to my story though.
So we usually do a gift exchange, and a white elephant gift. The year that I first got to know my co-workers we had some pretty funny white elephant gifts. I'm a veterinary technician and we had some whoopie cushion things we had cool stocking hats that were talking about being lit up. Somebody got a cool coloring book and it was hysterical cuz it was farting unicorns.
So I thought okay I'll get something funny cuz I know these girls love this and hopefully they'll laugh like crazy and kinda help me fit in a little bit more. So I got a coloring book called cats do swear too. It's hysterical book about cats swearing pushing things off the counters doing things are not supposed to do yelling at their owners. And it was hysterical but a little over the top and obscene. As we're passing white elephants around I'm like this is perfect you know one of the girls has it and they'll be hysterical and it'll go great. Then my new manager gets it. and she's all excited cuz I had it wrapped up and you couldn't tell what it was. And this is the first time she'd been to one of our Christmas things. And I'm like oh no this is terrible. because I know her and I really like her but she's like I am and kind of quiet and not real into the obscene stuff and she thinks they're kind of out of hand. So she opens it up kind of turns red everybody's busting up laughing and she's like Katie. What the heck is this and you know red and like well everybody liked it last year. it was a tell we were laughing crying and I was a little embarrassed but it all went over okay. She took it home and her husband thought it was the best thing in the world. So all's well that ends well but it was an interesting Christmas.

My husband had always figured out what I got him for Christmas by accidentally finding them every year . He had never touched the pressure canner before, but the year I hid his gift in it, he made beef stew. He needed a large Tupperware container, went to my mom's house, and borrowed the one that had his gift in it. Every for 8 years he found his gift. He wasn't looking for them , and was disappointed when he found them. One Christmas, I bought a collectible envelope he had been searching for, and I decided I was going to hide it where he would never find it. He didn't find it, but I forgot where I hid it! I turned the house upside down, checking every nook and cranny. Called both of moms to see if I told them - no. Told the the kids we were treasure hunting for Daddy's gift - nothing. It had disappeared. I ended up getting something else for him for Christmas that year. Fast forward about five years. We were telling the kids a "back in my day" story about Google not existing, and using the Funk and Wagnall set to look up and learn. He goes to pull out the Ch-D volume, and out falls the envelope. I had put it by Christmas in the encyclopedia! Needless to say he was pleasantly surprised, and he had a good laugh when he realized how long it had been missing.
