The Christmas holidays seem to be a perfect time to recharge our batteries for another yearly bender. But for many, it’s quite the opposite. The surveys have shown time and again that huge chunks of population find the “most beautiful time of the year” daunting as they struggle with festive burnout.

For example, a quarter of the British population finds Christmas the most challenging thing in the whole year, with 19% saying it has a fairly negative impact and 7% very negative impact on their mental health, according to this survey. And a similar study on Americans from Slumber Cloud found that a whopping 35% are burnt out on the holiday season before even Christmas arrives.

While there are ways to fight the festive burnout, like practicing mindfulness and setting down your priorities, one of the best ones is to simply have some fun. And by fun, I do not mean hours of grueling last-minute gift shopping or trying too hard to please everyone with your perfect panna cotta. What we mean is taking your silly side out for a walk and imagining that Christmas is a stand-up in a comedy cellar where no pinch of humor would ever be too much.

Below are some of the funniest examples of people greeting Christmas with a humorous twist, and there’s a whole lot to learn from them! Psst! More hilarious Christmas moments can be found in a previous post right here.

#33 My Parents Are Trolls

Two spray bottles with money in them. Each bill folded to a football (American). My dad said he looked at multiple types to bottles so he could get the bulls in but they would be a challenge to get out. I was instructed I couldn’t smash the bottles. So I didn’t. Tedious but not difficult. Only needed tweezers a couple times. More tedium of unfolding without damage. Also only needed tweezers a couple times! $100 total. Love my parents. We enjoy trolling one another when we can, but especially at Christmas.
