Sure. Once on Christmas, a family decided to do a Secret Santa. The youngest kid, Tim, was so excited. He got his dad's name. Tim thought his dad needed a new hat, so he used all his pocket money to buy a very large, furry hat. When his dad opened the gift, he put it on immediately, and it was so huge that it covered his whole face, making everyone laugh.
The unexpected twists are often very funny. For example, in a holiday story about a New Year's party, everyone expected a grand fireworks display at midnight. But the person in charge of the fireworks accidentally set them off at 11:30 while still trying to get them ready. The whole party was startled but then burst into laughter. Another funny element can be the characters' over - the - top reactions. Like when a child in a holiday story gets a present they don't like and they make the most dramatic, sad face ever, which is really comical.
One Christmas, my family decided to do a Secret Santa. My little brother, who was about 5 at the time, got my dad. He was so excited and decided to make his own present. He painted a rock bright red and said it was a 'Christmas ruby' for Dad. It was the silliest yet cutest present.
On a summer holiday at the beach, my friend thought it would be a great idea to bury me in the sand up to my neck. As he was finishing, a seagull flew over and pooped right on my head. I couldn't move to wipe it off, and my friend was laughing so much that he couldn't help me either. It was both gross and hilarious.
During a summer holiday at the beach, we were all trying to build the best sandcastle. I worked really hard on mine, making tall towers and a moat. My friend, however, had a different idea. He decided to make a sand sculpture of a mermaid. But it looked more like a half - fish, half - alien creature. We all had a great laugh at how funny it looked and ended up taking pictures with it as a hilarious memory of our beach holiday.
When we went on a skiing holiday as a family, my mom, who had never skied before, was so nervous. She got on the ski lift and as soon as it started moving, she screamed all the way up. When we got off, she promptly fell into a big pile of snow. We were all laughing, and she ended up laughing too once she realized she was okay.
Last New Year's Eve, we were having a party at home. I was in charge of the fireworks. I lit one up and it started spinning out of control. It flew into a pile of dry leaves in the yard and set them on fire. We had to quickly put out the fire. It was a chaotic and funny start to the New Year.
Last holiday season, I was in a store when a little girl was begging her mom for a toy. Her mom said no, so the girl put on a pair of reindeer antlers and started dancing around the toy, saying she was a magical reindeer who needed that toy to fly. It was so cute and funny that the mom finally gave in.
During my holiday travel to Paris, I was at the Eiffel Tower. I wanted to take a really cool selfie. So, I set my camera on a timer and ran to pose. But just as the camera was about to click, a guy on a bicycle rode right in front of me. The photo was of me looking shocked and the cyclist looking confused. It's still one of my funniest travel memories.
One holiday short story could be about a family's Christmas. They all gather at the grandparents' old house. The kids are excited to open presents under the big, twinkling tree. There's a lot of laughter and hugs as they share stories of the past year. It's a simple yet heartwarming story of family togetherness during the holidays.
