It's CHRISTMAS TIME! And we are getting into the season by sharing the funniest stories we got sent about Christmas from parents! Get ready to laugh through these fails and funny parent stories - cos Christmas is one of those times when even the best parenting intentions can go sideways!
We kick off the episode with some yays and nays of our week including...
Bec's yay: day time naps that were underrated pre-kids
Bec's nay: having a child that has the same stubborn streak as her
Sam's yay: all the sleep-ins he gets while travelling
Sam's nay: sitting through graduation ceremonies for every year level
Sam's Christmas dad jokes give us a little laugh before heading into the main event - the funny Christmas stories!
We asked 'what's the fails or funniest stories from Christmases past'... and these ones are some the families will never forget!
We have...
1. Rollerblading dad breaking his pelvis
2. A bad gift from a mother-in-law
3. Santa getting the credit for all the presents
4. Mom caught tipping out Santa's milk...
5. Dad dressed up as Santa mistaken for an intruder
6. Trying to make snow in North QLD
7. A terrible scavenger hunt present disaster
8. The cutest tree decoration story
9. A midnight present unwrapping
10. Presents falling apart after a little too much beer...
11. A transformers present (or part of it...)

If your Christmas doesn't quite go to plan - you are in great company with these parents! We don't come with any helpful advice - but we come with parental encouragement because the chaos that sometimes gets you down happens to all of us from time to time!
