The Many Failed Ways of Celebrating Christmas

This corgi is upset for many reasons, the main of which is the ridiculous Christmas scarf currently draped around its neck.

It's all so wrong. This pup is proud, refusing to cower or hide as so many have attempted in the same space. He stares down his human with every bit of guilt he can channel into his canine eyes.

We're going to choose to believe that this guy just stepped out of a Christmas party and went to Walmart after his wife asked him for some more ornaments.

And this was obviously a costume party, in which this man decided to be funny and dress as a psychopathic cowboy with lassos for shoes. Or maybe this man actually bought the shoes. In fact, maybe he's looking for some ornaments to decorate them.

Some people ask for money for Christmas, some ask for a new Playstation game, and some have more humble requests, like their favorite team to make it to the Playoffs. Just like this lovely lady right here who is asking Santa's help because her team's coach is probably not doing his job very well.

If it was up to us, we would grant her wish and add some arts and crafts material. It looks like she could use them to put together some more signs for her beloved team.

Although there are many reasons to quit your job, it doesn’t mean that you don’t want to keep in contact with the company you are leaving or with your coworkers. Especially during the holiday season.

This soon-to-be ex-employee made their feelings about leaving their job abundantly clear. The “I QUIT: in this resignation letter is enormous and in all caps. But that didn’t keep them from adding the small print that they would still be attending the office Christmas party. This person knows what it’s all about.

We were going to write something sarcastic about this sweet Danish couple who decided to celebrate their love as well as Christmas at the same time, but then we thought better. You know what? If they feel like this is the proper way to say their I dos, who are we to judge?

If you’re going to go so hard on the Christmas angle, though, we would expect no less than a red-nosed reindeer to carry you on a sled with a "Just Married" sign.

Poor Emily, everybody else has stuff going on in their lives, even her parents get to be excited, but she just gets to be Emily.

Well, we see you girl. You are awesome and don’t let anybody tell you anything different.

Putting together a manager scene but don’t have any sheep? Well, don’t worry, you can always use a cat in sheep clothing!

The cat may not seem happy about his new role, but hey, the picture is spot on.

Here is what we think happened at the studio where this picture was taken: Photographer: "Look over here... great. Now smile... perfect." *click* "Now give me a pose... Beautiful" *click* "Now act like you don't know each other." Family: "Umm... What?" Photographer: "Did I stutter?"

The dad on the right seems to be the best one at following instructions.

Did this couple just take a picture from their honeymoon and add on random text boxes?

If so, we love it, think they are the best, and want to be friends with them.

These people have obviously never heard of smizing. Otherwise, their smiles would have reached their eyes rather than stopping at the corners of their mouths and making them look like psychopaths that ate some bad sushi.

The baby in the middle actually looks like she's been posing for the camera since the day she was born.

We appreciate the seasonal backdrop, the elf costume, and the fact that this guy found proper attire for his bunny. The only thing we wish for is for the guy to not look like he just remembered his gingerbread cookies should have been out of the oven 45 minutes ago.

We know that Santa's sleigh is pulled by reindeers, but we like to think that elves have smaller ones pulled by little bunnies like the one in the picture.

Santa is usually a positive figure. You know, it's a nice old man handing out presents. Who wouldn't want to spend some time with him, right? Well, apparently not all kids are fans of Santa.

When you think about it, there is some sense to it. After all, aren't we all taught not to sit on a stranger's lap no matter what presents he has to offer?

Meet this guy and his invisible girlfriend, Stacy. Since they first met on an ice-skating rink a few months ago, the two have been inseparable. They know that sending out joint Christmas cards is a big step in their relationship but they are confident that this one's going to last.

They are hoping to have some invisible children someday too, but for now, they are happy just being with each other.

Those holiday decorations are getting weirder and weirder as years go by, don't you think? There are some crazy designs and interesting, non-traditional colors that may surprise you.

But still, the six-point star and the blue/white color scheme should have been a big enough clue that this flag can only decorate the homes of those who don't celebrate Christmas.

Going through three bottles of liquor tends to knock you out and John here has had to learn it the hard way.

While his Christmas party guests are having fun in the living room, he will have to sleep it off in the bathroom. Let that be a lesson, John.

When posing for a Christmas card you may wear an ugly sweater, you may dress up as Santa, you may even use bad special effects.

What you may not do is dress your wife and possibly underage daughters in t-shirts that say Ho.

It looks like Santa had a bad year. Either that or we just stumbled upon Amish Santa. This picture is open to all kinds of speculations. Could be that Google just caught a mall Santa next to his squat spot, or, this old man simply felt like going out for a walk in his red pajamas.

Regardless, this is a priceless moment. If this is a Santa of some kind, we certainly hope his holiday spirit improves for Christmas. Those crossed arms ain't giving us cheery vibes, man. We promise we were good this year!

We still aren't sure what we're looking at. It could be two adults and a baby or an adult and two babies. The jury is still out on the matter.

Judging by the confused look on the little baby's face, she is not too sure what's happening either.

This guy did bad and now has his face plastered onto the poster with the speech bubble "Ha! Ruined another thing." While the makers of the poster chose to keep his name out, we think that it might be the notorious "pharma bro." If it is, yeah what he did was super grinchy.

Sorry to the parents of this man. We're sorry that they ended up ruining so many things. Hopefully, everyone gets a taste of that Christmas spirit and learns from this for next year.

It's cool to see so many Santas traveling and using the subway, especially when you get to see them doing some un-Santa-like things. We can't help but wonder where they were heading?

This proves the sheer popularity of the subway — even Santa likes taking the underground train every once in a while. If only we could have been there, we have very important matters to discuss with Santa regarding our Christmas present from when we were nine.

For some reason, some genius thought it would be a great idea to fuse a wedding gown with a Christmas tree. Beats us.

Not for us, but for the Christmas enthusiast, what better way to strut your stuff down the aisle than in a Christmas tree?! Certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Looks like some people just love Christmas a little too much. Or literally want to dress up like Mrs. Claus. Whatever the reason, we’re trying to picture this interesting creation. Talk about multi-use!

At least you know this dress will be used once every year for Christmas! So, you practical winter-wedding lovers, this dress is for you!

Everyone loves Christmas and there is nothing more fun and cozy than getting into the Christmas spirit. The best way to do that is getting sweatered up of course. It's hard to resist a good reindeer or snowman sweater, but this tree-themed top is pushing it.

The lights and tree wrapping around the sweater might inspire good vibes for the season, or just might weigh you down. Do we want to find out? Not really.

If you live in Texas, you may not necessarily get to have a white Christmas. Unless you go out of town, you may not be used to playing in the snow and being able to build snowmen. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try!

Take these kids for instance. They decided to make the best out of what they had: tumbleweeds, dirt, and sticks. A bunch of people would be willing to trade their snowy, cold holidays for the warm, sunny ones down South.

We all know there is nothing worse than having a neighbor who continually "forgets" to take down their Christmas decorations.

But what about those who keep their decorations (or, in that case, their tree) around for way too long? That is how you end up with a fully decorated, fully dry tree on the side of the road months after the holiday is all over.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a gem. Poor old Santa freshly released from jail after, what we can only assume, was a rough Christmas eve. At least they kept his bag of toys for him.

We just hope this guy could go straight home after this and didn't have to rush to a shift at the mall. This should be a photo parents show their kids as proof that even Santa gets punished when he does something bad.

This hilarious picture is very ironic, especially if Santa was trying to stay off of the naughty list. We have to wonder what the reason behind this was.

It sure will make us think twice about sitting on Santa’s lap come next Christmas, or keep us cringing when he says “ho ho ho”! It’s a magical season, but perhaps less so for Mr. and Mrs. Claus this year. We’re sure the police had a field day with this one, though.

Being invited to the neighborhood parties is not always all that it's cracked up to be. This neighbor, for instance, threw a low-budget Christmas party out on his lawn.

Going with the theme here, it was a BYOB kind of party… only it doesn’t look like anyone did. But check this out — that monster still had the audacity to keep all the Christmas presents! Some people…

This family makes sure to always be on-trend. You can tell by the floral curtains and mustache that were all the rage in the '80s. The same thing goes for the love in the parents' eyes, that's one thing that never goes out of style. You just know that the baby girl was the most fashionable girl in daycare.

This photo recreation, almost 30 years later must have been the perfect Christmas activity, and the wine bottle was the icing on the cake.

One of the most anticipated Christmas activities that everybody loves doing is prepping the tree. Since nobody likes ending up with a sad, bare tree, people usually turn to the plastic versions instead. Unfortunately, this buyer didn’t have any luck on his side when he received this wretched little synthetic thing.

He was under some major false pretense in thinking he was going to receive a full and healthy-looking plastic tree. What a blow to the Christmas spirit!

This is deceit at its finest! Riding the wave of the heat-sensitive mug trend, someone here was probably stoked to purchase this festive mug. Changing colors according to temperature, this could’ve been the perfect Secret Santa gift for the Christmas season. His coworker would’ve loved it... If the mug actually worked.

The seller totally deceived this customer by literally using the printed photo of the heat-sensitive mug. Time to look for another gift, dude!

What a happy surprise on Christmas morning! This family came downstairs, excited to dig into all the presents under the tree. Little did they know, their dog decided to claim all the presents for himself.

We wonder if any of the gifts were salvageable. Either way, it was probably quite a bummer of a Christmas morning.

What is it about Christmas trees that make animals so destructive? Every time the Christmas tree goes up, the chances for destruction in the house also increase.

Apparently, this dog was not on good terms with this year’s Christmas tree. Whether he was set off by all the shiny ornaments or simply wanted to protect his family from the latest intruder, we may never know. Either way, this family is going to be much more careful with Christmas trees in the future.

This entire family is having a good time meeting the big man from the North Pole, but one person, in particular, is jazzed to make sure he knows what present to bring. Yes, out of the five people pictured, Mom is the one who is most excited about the idea of a Christmas photo.

That isn't to say the kids aren't happy — yet it's Mom who is cuddling in close with the jolly old elf. Maybe that's Dad under all that hair. These kids might soon see mommy kissing Santa Claus.

This picture comes to us from the 1950s, back when curtain choices were still in flux, and Santa Clauses apparently didn't care if kids were having fun or not.

The child also has the kind of face that says “Please get him away from me!” She just can't wait to get her present and be excused to her room where she can have some Christmas cookies.

We don't know much about how Santa can visit all those houses in one night, but it's clear that it is taking a toll on him.

This deflated Santa simply screams infringed employee rights. We wonder if he and the elves are part of the same union.

You have to wonder what's so important that all these Santa Clauses felt like they simply must call someone and that it must be done right NOW.

If you ignore the fact that it can practically be a Santa police lineup (though, could Santa even commit a crime?) this picture could make a fantastic holiday card. In fact, go ahead, get it printed with some warm wishes. Anybody would enjoy getting it in their mailbox.

This cat clearly had some strong disagreements about the state of this Christmas tree. Either it found the tree under decorated or maybe just too small.

Whatever the reason was, it was taken care of.

Here's a man who is ready to take a stand. If there isn't snow on the ground, then the tree doesn't go up. He's put his foot down. Is this guy a Grinch or a Scrooge? Unlikely.

There are plenty of people who are against the Christmas creep since the season seems to start as soon as the Halloween decorations have gone down. What did Thanksgiving ever do to deserve this?

Faking being happy with a bad Christmas present is an experience that everyone seems to have had at some point. But what about getting a present that is so cryptic you literally don't know what it's for?

After diving into the online hivemind, it turns out that this is a modular trivet. You know, the thing you put under pots and pans to protect your table/countertop? That. Except you can play with the stringed jacks depending on the size and shape of your pot!

We don't actually know if these guys are family or just really close friends, but regardless, this is one of the most adorable 'welcome home' signs we've ever seen. And kudos to them for choosing such hilarious photos.

The only thing better than going home for Christmas is coming home to a sign like this. Great job, guys!

Besides being a Christmas favorite, the Grinch is also one of our favorite characters we grew up on. This advert was done in incredibly bad taste and we're sorry to see the Grinch's portrait used like this!

In real life, the Grinch would never agree to have his face used in adverts like this to promote some corporation's greedy agenda! The Grinch may be grouchy, but he does have standards and prides himself on being anti-establishment...

After seeing this picture, you lose the right to complain about the size of your Christmas tree, the quality of your presents, and the whole event of Christmas in your household. Being in the south half of planet earth, the seasons are reversed.

This means that in Australia, Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December like in the rest of the world; however, this falls in the summertime, when it can get scorchingly hot. Leave behind the Christmas trees, and bring out the fans.

Stick a Santa Claus hat on anything and boom! You're magically transported into the North Pole. If only it worked like that, right? This toy company tried thinking out of the box last Christmas when they added a Santa Claus hat to the poop emoji.

They thought that taking the brown emoji and turning it green would give off a Christmas tree effect, but all it does is make us sick. This doesn't put anyone in the holiday mood.

This delightful toy was placed at a shopping center's Santa's elf workshop display. We admit we don't really know what Santa's elves look like — but we're sure it's not this. Someone took a baby doll, ripped her head off, and then attached her to a stuffed animal's body.

We're not sure that that's what the spirit of Christmas is all about. To add insult to injury, whoever made this horrible toy also painted the doll's face an almost toxic shade of yellow.

The Grinch found that the best way to deliver presents on Christmas is to rent a motorbike. It's cost-efficient, and he won't have to bug Santa Claus to borrow one of his reindeers.

That would make for a cool story, but this duo just wanted to dress up and have fun.

This was a lovely idea to raise some money for a worthy cause, but something got jumbled along the way. Although we all wish we could eradicate childhood diabetes, getting into fistfights with young sufferers is probably not the way to do it.

The point they wanted to make is obvious, but they really should have had someone else look this over before they rushed out to print signs. On the bright side, a Christmas bazaar/craft show sounds like an excellent place for holiday shopping!

Clearly, the employees at this store were feeling overly festive this Christmas and decided to make a joke. Maybe they had a running bet to see which customer noticed the mistake first. Or maybe the guy responsible for the digital ads just partied too hard the night before.

Wouldn't it be funny if what started out as a simple mistake became a mass confusion over a new hybrid smartphone? Samsung and Apple could finally join forces and then nobody would ever have to prove "their phone is better" ever again.

Did you really think the neighbors wouldn’t notice if you dropped your old tree into the yard?

We know it’s hard to drag it down the stairs, but come on...
