Some Christmases go off the rails. Others steal the rails, light them on fire, and surf away laughing. These are the holidays where the Grinch visited and immediately took over.
There’s Santa on a surfboard, weird looking outfit and absolutely unconcerned with snow. The reindeer are on break. Christmas went coastal and never apologized. Then things get legal. The Grinch, green, smug, and cuffed, being marched away like a holiday perp. And somewhere under the tree sits a gift that ends all gift-giving. A toilet. Wrapped. Bow on top. No explanation. Just porcelain and confusion.
These photos tried to say: “Silent Night.” But they ended up saying: “We tried.” These are the Christmas where everyone decided to not make it too classy, but they really went the other way.
