Even though most of us try to make our holiday celebrations as perfect as possible, small mistakes are always unavoidable. Got your brother a nice t-shirt? Looks like your aunt got him the same one. Received an awesome RC car from your uncle? Guess what, there isn’t a pair of batteries for the remote in the whole house. They might seem annoying at first but the sooner you realize there’s no use getting upset, the sooner everyone can have a nice laugh and continue the celebration.

#19 My Cat Got Stuck In The Wall On Christmas Day

The basement kitchenette ceiling was left open when it was built a few months ago so he climbed onto the cupboards and into the ceiling before falling into the wall.

This was at my mom’s house and he was stuck for about 2 hours while we tried to figure out his exact location and cut a hole to release him. He is perfectly fine and even tried to go back in the hole!
