If there’s one lesson to be learned this festive season, it’s this: always read the fine print. Especially when it comes to wrapping paper.
These poor people learned the hard way, however. Their loved ones won’t be receiving tidings of goodwill on their gifts this year, some will be wished a “Merry Shitmas.” And, some will be receiving “shit hot” gifts. Gosh.
Lesson number 1:
When you’re buying multi-packs of wrapping paper, always ensure one of the rolls isn’t riddled with profanity.
Oh my god I need to pay more attention to packs of 3 wrapping paper hahahahahahaha pic.twitter.com/3Rhbq4sDD9

The holidays are a magical time of year filled with decadent treats, festive firework displays, the scent of fresh-cut pine, and giant goats made of straw.
To some, that last tradition may sound odd. But it’s not considered out of the ordinary in Gävle, a small Swedish village, where the famed “Gävle goat” has been a centerpiece of the town’s castle square every holiday season since the 1960s
Sweden is far from the only country with its own quirky holiday custom. From beach barbecues in Australia to Nativity “pastorelas” (Christmas plays) in Mexico, there are unique holiday traditions decking halls, doorways, and dinner tables around the world Read more…

Kid steals baby Jesus during Christmas play and all hell breaks loose

Put down the baby Jesus, child.
A nativity play at the First Baptist Church of White Pine in Tennessee went completely off the rails when one of the children playing a sheep was inspired by the Lord’s good jams, picked up baby Jesus, and started an impromptu dance party.
The child playing Mary did not appreciate the theft of baby Jesus, and attempted to return him to his manger, but the thief fought back, and a brief battle between Mary and a sheep over baby Jesus ensued.
The audience was definitely entertained with the new direction of the play, and it appears no children — including baby Jesus — were harmed in the act. Read more…
