(11,794 posts)Example 1: Santa Claus rode around town on the top of a firetruck. Well, my little sister got so scared that she flipped out and pulled the curtains off the wall, and the rod and brackets came straight out and hit me in the head. Nice goose egg for Christmas pictures.
Example 2: One Christmas Eve, while the adults were downstairs partying, my sisters and I were naughty and up past bedtime waiting for Santa. I, in all my infinite wisdom, sat on a huge ball between my bed and my sister's trundle bed, and was bouncing around on it. Well, my sister got pissed about something, kicked the ball out from underneath me, and I fell, nearly slicing my ear off on the metal edge of the bed. I spent the wee hours of Christmas morning in the hospital, getting my ear stitched back together. I still have a scar. That was 30 years ago.
Example 3: I'm pretty sure I saw Rudolph's red nose on the roof of my house. And I was only 6 or so, so there was no alcohol involved.
