Alright everyone- time to crack out your stories of terrible christmases past

I'm very fortunate in that I've never had a bad Christmas, but one story does stick out.

Whole family is 'round at ours for Christmas dinner. Aunt shows up in new bright white sweater that everyone compliments as being lovely. You can see where this one is going already...

Sibling stands up from the table and knocks over a glass of red wine straight onto Aunt's sweater. Horrified looks and stunned silence from sibling et al. when Grandad (after having a few) immediately pipes up "Well that's improved it no end, [Aunt]!"

Grandad did have a history of disliking my Aunt's sweaters, though. One year she turned up and he asked why she was wearing her living room curtains.
