Funny Christmas experiences

Years ago,before I got married,I went home to Wales for Christmas. On Christmas day I visited all my relatives to give them thier pressies. And everywhere I went, I was given Christmas dinner,nobody would take no for an answer. My Aunt Betty decided that I would have dinner there too.

But I was saved by the dog, a bloomin great Alsation. As she took the turkey out of the oven and carried it to the table, she tripped over the dog and the turkey shot accross the room landing on the floor. The dog ran over and grabbed the turkey, let out a great yelp and charged off towards the back door, knocking my cousin off his chair. In trying to save himself from falling on the floor, my cousin grabbed the table cloth and pulled half the food off the table.

I didnt get a Chrismes dinner there that day, although my aunt found something for the rest of them to eat. There was turkey fat and meat all over the floor, the dog had blisters round his mouth from being burned by the turkey and I made a quick gettaway, before I split my ribs laughing. That is the only time I had a funny experience at Christmas, but it was good enough to last me a lifetime. I never went to Wales to visit on Christmas day again, I dont think I could take it.

Peter, have you seen the movie "A Christmas Story?"  It would remind you of your funny Christmas memoryl.

I have a couple and they both involve a very dear relative of mine.

One year, she made an apple pie, but instead of a cup of sugar, she made it with a cup of salt and didn't realize it until everyone was having pie after dinner.  You should have seen all the yuk faces.  LOL

And another year, she and her mother were making Christmas dinner and having a little wine while they cooked.  Well, her mom had one glass too many and when she went into the bathroom to throw up, she lost her dentures in the toilet and flushed them.  Because it was Christmas, she had to wait a few days for a replacement set.  But when we arrived at their house for dinner, well, it was quite jolly.  lol

It's a great one Peter.

Here's the scene:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxwpZGkM8s&feature=related

The funny part is about 2 minutes into the clip.  I also noticed that whoever posted it, put the entire movie on there in 11 parts, if you want to watch it online.

These are great ones - just what I need to get me in a fun mood while I'm surrounded with accounts!!!

I have another one concerning my Aunt Alice (the QE11 Auntie who bought me the horrid dress!). When I was 16 I had only been dating my ex for a few months and I took him to my Aunt's for her obligatory Christmas do with Max Bygraves records etc! Anyway, everyone could hear this terrible wheezing and different relations where asking if it was her dog. It turned out to be my ex who was allergic to vinegar and she had put a bowl of pickled onions next to him on the table but he was too embarrassed to say anything!

LOL @ Peter, Ruth, and Stephanie!!!

Peter, that sounds like a movie, it couldn't have been better if it had been planned!

Ruth, that is too funny about your aunt and the dentures! It reminds me of a Christmas when I was staying with my aunt and uncle.

I must have been about 10 years old, it was Christmas morning and I was awakened by my uncle screaming from his bedroom. I heard my aunt running down the hall calling out, "What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

I heard my uncle answer, "Something bit me!"

There was a moment of quiet and then my aunt said, "Be quiet you damn old fool, it's your own false teeth! They came out of your mouth while you were sleeping and you rolled over on them!"
