“Are you troubled by past holiday disasters? Do you have a funny (for the rest of us that is) Christmas story? If so please write in to us and we may publish your story.”
This appeared in some of my writings this time last year, I’d like to thank you all for your sad and tragic moments at your Christmas gatherings, I had a million laughs reading them all!
Well to tell the truth, I did not ask for you to write in last year, I was not even writing this weekly thing! (Yeah I was smarter then.) But this year I made up some funny Christmas stories that almost seem like they could have happened, and then I selected my favorites to create these fictional yet realistic writings. Well I think I have said all that needs to be said so lets cut to the big juicy finish!
Dear Travis,
I am writing in regards to your request that people send in there holiday stories, well here is one that happened to my family back in 1998. No get ready for this, note I did not make any of this up!
We have a tradition of cutting down a pine from the back woods every year, it was about three days from Christmas I had flown to my partents about two days before, we (my brother father and I) went out to cut down a tree, as we were out in the woods we came upon a wounded deer, so we picked it up and put it on our shoulders and began to trudge back to the house, why we did not just go back and get some supplies I do not know. We walked back and put the deer on the deck, and then we covered him with come blankets.
As my brother ran inside looking for some bandages for the deer (he is a vet), but he forgot to close the door, well that deer just bolted through that door, and right on to the laden table, 2 days of cooking filled with glass, deer hair, and carpet. This was not all the deer ran to the front of the house and out the front widow (it’s hoof’s were first so It was not hurt). At that moment some old friends arrive, the deer just through the window staggers toward there car, still going quite fast. Our friend swerves to avoid the deer and wham into the garage! Well all in all that Christmas cost about 6 thousand dollars!
From,
Names Withheld.
PS; we use a fake tree now.
Now if this did not make you laugh I recommend some sort of night school for the straight-faced. Or maybe you have an even funnier one (I really don’t care how much you make up) so send them to me by leaving a comment on this blog, or email me tfantina@gmail.com or travis@nufichicken.com, I will run comments all through December and most of January!
