When Christmas Goes Wrong

Published by Mark Bentley in Offbeat

For most of us, Christmas time is a season of love, happiness, and often religious celebration. However, sometimes, it seems to go very wrong. Here are a few of the odder cases.

For many of us, Christmas is about the birth of Christ, Santa Claus, or just plain trying to be nice to each other, but sometimes, it all seems to go horribly wrong, here are a few of the odder moments of Christmas.

I am still deciding quite how I feel about this image by Rob Sheridan.  I love his stuff, but this one really makes you wonder.

Apparently some people prefer Peewee Herman to the standard angel.  That is pretty scary!

I guess this guy is in “the spirit of the holidays”…  Kinda sends a shiver up your back.  I guess someone somewhere thought that this was a good idea.

I guess inflatable snowmen make this guy feel naughty…  Yeah, I really don’t know what else to say.

And of course, there is the always popular “let’s annoy our pets” for the season.  This cat looks less than impressed.

Somehow I never before thought “let’s hang up Merry Christmas armless, legless angels!”.  She is both beautiful and a little disturbing.

Nothing says Christmas like a syringe!  I hope this is a diabetic, but you never know.  Is this Christmas for drug users?  Maybe not one for the kids…

Little kittens are cute.  Sad cat heads are just scary.  A box of them is even scarier.

This is just really creepy.  Someone went through a lot of work for this and put a lot of though into this, but I still don’t think I will be getting one for my kids this Christmas!

When good elves go bad.  A Christmas crime scene?

Believe it or not, this one was tagged as a nativity.  This is definitely not the nativity I remember from the local church growing up!  Sort of an alien mannequins do the nativity theme.

Crash test dummy Christmas.  I am not sure why.

Um, I have no idea.  You know, sometimes, just adding a Santa hat and tinsel does not make something look like Christmas, it just makes it really weird.

Well, I guess even at Christmas, you have to go to the washroom sometimes

I love this one.  It is really over the top.

Somehow Christmas always turns naughty for some people.

Apparently, for some people, Christmas says “go running in a thong” for some people.

Thankfully, I do not seem to be on their Christmas card list.  I really wish I could say that I understood this one, but I have no idea except to say that I am pretty sure that there must be booze in those cups because this one just screams that alcohol must have been involved.

    The boy with nails in his eyes is a Tim Burton poem

    Now these thoughts will brighten Christmas for me – it will take something fairly extreme and tasetless! Thanks for the joy.

    I love the boy with the nail in his eyes. And i see nothing wrong with having PeeWee Herman on top of your tree. I have the Grinch on mine.
