funniest christmas stories

Surprise is a big element. Like when an unexpected guest shows up in a really funny way. For example, someone dressing as a reindeer and crashing into the Christmas party instead of Santa arriving as normal.

In an Italian Christmas story, there was a family who decided to decorate their Christmas tree in a very unique way. They added all sorts of strange items like old family heirlooms and tools. When their neighbors came over for Christmas dinner, they were all very surprised and amused by the tree. The family's explanation that they wanted to make it a 'family - history - filled' Christmas tree was both creative and funny.

There was this one Christmas when a man tried to dress up as Santa for his kids. He put on the suit but got stuck in the chimney he was pretending to come down. His family had to pull him out while laughing non - stop. It was a Christmas filled with lots of laughter. First, he thought it would be a great idea to surprise the kids in this traditional way. But he didn't measure the chimney right. When he climbed up there and tried to come down, his big belly, which was part of the Santa suit padding, got wedged. His kids were so excited waiting for Santa and then they saw their dad's legs kicking in the chimney. His wife and other family members rushed to help and after much pulling and a lot of giggles, he was finally free.

A funny ridiculous Christmas story is when Santa's sleigh got a flat 'tire' (a reindeer hoof went wrong). So, he had to land at a local auto repair shop. The mechanics there were stunned to see Santa and his reindeer. They tried to fix the sleigh using their regular tools and in the end, they used some old bicycle parts. Santa managed to continue his journey but the sleigh looked really strange.

A family once got a real live reindeer as a Christmas surprise. But the reindeer was very naughty. It ran around the house knocking over the Christmas tree and eating all the cookies left for Santa. Everyone was chasing it all over the place until they finally caught it and tied it outside. It was a very chaotic but funny Christmas day.

There was a bookstore that during Christmas, a customer accidentally ordered 50 copies of the same children's Christmas book instead of just 5. The store owner was a bit worried at first. But then he made a 'Christmas book club' event where they read that book together every day leading up to Christmas. It was so popular that all the books got sold.

Well, there's this one where a dog mistook the Christmas stockings for chew toys. It pulled them down and started chewing on them, scattering all the treats that were inside. It was chaos but also really funny. Another story involves a dog that got so excited by all the Christmas decorations that it ran around the house, knocking over several small Christmas trees in the process.

There's a story of an elf who wanted to test Santa's sleigh. He jumped in and accidentally released all the reindeer. The sleigh went zooming around the North Pole without any control, and the elf was screaming the whole time. It was really funny.

A family once had a Christmas dinner where the turkey was so overcooked that it was as hard as a rock. But instead of being disappointed, they made a game out of it. They used the turkey as a bowling ball and the potatoes as bowling pins. It turned into a hilarious family activity.

Well, once a police officer found a drunk man singing Christmas carols at the top of his lungs in the middle of the street on Christmas night. Instead of arresting him right away, the officer joined in for a while, which made the man calm down and then he escorted him home safely.
