These #ChristmasFails will make you feel so much better about yours
Let's face it, Christmas isn't like the commercials.
Hard and all as we might try each and every year, December 25 rarely goes off without a hitch.
And while you may be certain other families are having a picture-perfect day while yours struggles to remain civil, Twitter is here to remind you that this simply isn't the case.
Whether it's present-related catastrophes or sibling-related rows – the root of which no one can remember – Christmas Day is absolutely rife with fails.
And we're only too happy to take a closer look…
Today my grandma called my sister fat and told me I could become a stripper with my body. How'd your Christmas go?#christmasfail

This Christmas, my family fought about who will be buried in the family grave. There were tears and everything…My mother said she refuses to spend eternity next to her sisters in law. #ChristmasFail #christmasfails @jimmyfallon

Definitely accused my mom of forgetting/losing my gift of a pet memorial locket, and then found out that it's shipping from China and takes like, 2 months to arrive. #ChristmasFail

Gave my parents each a DNA ancestry kit. Dad said, "I don't even want to know more about the living people I'm related to, let alone all the dead ones." #christmasfail
