Have a fun story about that time your mother found out she was pregnant with you uncle's kid while you were tripping balls on that one New Years Eve? Or how about when you were really sick and threw up all over your gram's marshmallow salad?
Anecdote.

we were seeing my aunt in germany for xmas one year, and i ate something bad the day before leaving. the trip made me feel a might more ill, so by the time we got to her flat i was gagging for the bog. i threw up as she opened the door, i barfed all down the hall on the way to the loo... i didn't know which room the loo was in so i barfed in the kitchen, too... then i did a massive puke all over the door of the bathroom before largely passing out.
that was a good christmas http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/2226/smileis1.gif

My tree caught on fire one year when I was 5. I remember the star at the stop of the tree had sparks coming out of it, and then chaos. I remember my father getting to the tree pretty quick with a bucket of water.

I definitely will, but I don't have the money to go back home, and I won't for a good bit.
Anecdote.
I came back from a spending Two weeks on another island for christmas one year. Walked into my apartment, and went to the fridge to get something cold to drink.
I wondered why the fridge interior was warm and the funky smell eminating from inside. DAMN, my fridge broke down.
I checked the compressor in the back, that looked ok. check the settings... ok.
checked the fuses... that was on.
getting warm so I turned on my fans. opps... turned off my fans at the power supply to keep the electricity down... turned on the power... heard a humming start up from the fridge... yep. I had plugged my fridged into the power strip and forgot about that when I turned off the power supply for the fans. :headbang:

if i paid you 100 bucks would you air it on NSG?
oh, just remembered this...
we have Wrap Parties. basically, our family just gets together and wraps all the gifts. of course those for each other are done seperately (when the intended recipient isn't around.) My parents were in 'auto pilot' mode. and when we noticed this, we just slipped their gifts from us into the pile of gifts for them to wrap.
the look on their faces when they were given packages that looked very familiar to them would be a treasured memory! :D

the tape belongs in my private childhood stash, along with the video of me murdering big bird off Sesame Street and the one of Kermit buggering Miss Piggy ;)
Ever since last Christmas Eve, Mary has had one big fantasy: to give Santa Claus a really great blowjob. Now, at 19, she and her older sister, Kim, stumble into a Santa Claus convention. Ho! Ho! Ho!

My brother and I got a puppy for Christmas one year. But instead of just giving us the puppy, my grandmother decided to play a trick on us.
She snuck the puppy into the house under her coat and back into the back room, so we didn't see her at the time. The presents we got to unwrap were both boxes of dog biscuits, leaving us both rather confused (and wondering if grandma was getting senile). Then they brought our new puppy out. =)

My cousin thought it'd be funny to feed me a couple of glasses of wine. My mom was busy. All my mom saw after a while was me stumbling around the living room and walking into things. I also apparently had a really red face. I heard this story from my mom a few years ago.

Didn't you know? most people at the first 18 months or so of life are hitting the bottle frequently... usually around mealtimes you see them clutching a bottle as if their lives depended on it.
