You’ve heard of gag
gifts well around Christmas our whole living room basically becomes a running
gag. It all started off innocently enough and then over the years it’s became
an ever growing monster of hilarity.
The monster in question
is snowmen.....lots and lots of snowmen.
I’m not quite sure
how it happened but over the years my mom has ended up with a large number of
snowmen Christmas decorations. She wasn’t looking for snowmen they were just
adorable so she bought them and over time the adorableness has added up.
A few years ago after
an evening at the pub my step dad came home and randomly started counting all
the snowmen, each time he counted he came up with a different number and
suggested we we’re adding more as he was counting. We weren’t but we liked the
idea so much we stole it.
We took that as a
challenge.
So over the years we
continued to add more and more snowmen and then play dumb about where they came
from. And every time my step dad counts the number grows and grows and my mom
and I sit there trying not to laugh when he says “47 snowmen!! How are they 47
snowmen? Where are they coming from?”
This year I thought
I’d change things up a bit, the decorations are all well and good but what I think
would be really fun is snowmen themed Christmas gifts. My step dad is a pain in
the ass to buy for anyways so I figured I may as well have a little fun with
it.
So far I picked up an
ugly snowmen sweater, a tie, a melting snowmen, a USB drum playing snowmen and
the funniest thing of all a snowmen shaped USB drive. The USB drive is funny
because normally January 1st the snowmen army get’s put away for
another year but this little drive with be there all year long to remind him of
the every growing snowmen army in the attic that is ready to be unleashed at
moments notice.
I can’t wait for Christmas morning to seeing his face when he opens these gifts marked “From:
Frosty the Snowman”. It should be a pretty funny morning.
So are there any other
snowmen themed gifts you can think of and what running jokes do you have in
your family, let me know in the comment box below. And as always my dears stay
and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
