If you need some inspiration at the beginning of a new decade, this twitter thread from @JustinHeckert will sure fill your tank. Just remember it's never too late to learn something new. 

When it comes to Christmas Trees, Steven Newland, from New Zealand, takes the cake! 

The creative Christmas Tree decorator is a pilot who puts tremendous effort into the festive tradition every year.

Starting off the tradition in 2005 with a "Christmas Rock," the family has certainly developed their Christmas Tree design over time. 

And in 2017, things started to get really interesting... 

The kids have spoken! And they want a lot. A lot.

Some kids had funny, and maybe even reasonable requests on their list. Reasonable to us, at least. 

Others are in a big, disappointing surprise when Santa doesn't bring them the new iPhone and other outrageously expensive items that were requested. 

"Remember folks, you can only lose the holiday party. You can't win the holiday party". So True! 

Asking for a friend, whose idea was it to place a Santa in every mall?

In a strange holiday tradition, parents will stand in line, at the mall, and pay money to place their children on a strangers lap for an awkward photo. 

So naturally, we needed to round up all the tweets about the experience: 

Looking For a Creative Christmas Gift Idea for homeowners who have it all already? The Little Brick Lane store on Etsy makes custom scale Lego home models of houses and they're pretty much perfect. As you would probably guess, they are fairly expensive with prices ranging from about $1,000 to $4,000.

This woman is making this holiday season (and past ones) special by leaving out snacks for any and all carrier drivers! In a now viral video shared on Facebook, you can see just how happy the Amazon delivery guy is to see those snacks left especially for him! 

And if this isn't what the holiday season is about then we just don't know what is. 

Kathy Ouma, what a lovely and simple idea to help make people's day -- we hope this idea will inspire others (and it did us) and become the new normal! 

'Tis the season! Folks are beginning to get into the holiday spirit and one of the first (and largest) signs of that is getting a big ol' Christmas tree! 

But what happens when dads go tree shopping alone? 

In this case, a series of hilarity ensues, in the form of iMessages. 

Thank you Twitter user, @RabbitThoughts, for bringing these...interesting stamps back into the limelight. 

We're really torn on how we feel about these vintage Christmas stamps from the 1800s.

On one hand, they're super strange and just the weirdest...

But on the other hand, they're amazing and hilarious and we have this urge to go out into the world and collect these stamps. 

One thing we do know for sure, we're in love with that one abominable snowman/ Snow-covered Cousin It, from the Addams Family.

How do you feel about them? 

Christmas is a merry time for everyone. Kids love getting presents, and parents love seeing their children filled with joy when they get awesome presents. But what about after Christmas, when the Christmas tree is just a burden that needs to be taken down, and the said presents are now annoying and loud? Anyone with children or younger siblings will understand this. We got the best stories from Reddit about the regrets after Christmas, and this thread is too hilarious to miss.  

Grab a tissue because these reactions to presents are quite emotional.

"Dear Santa, I think you should be fired from your job because you skipped my house..." and other funny things wrote by kids.  

Whether they are meant to inspire, amuse or make a statement, the messages outside places of worship often get people's attention. 

Say goodbye to those old boring game nights and play this amazing game right away with your friends and relive your childhood! The makers of this awesome card game are now reducing its price down to only $5 for this holiday season! So, call your friends, shuffle those cards and get down to business. Because you know what to do!

'I thought reindeer were fake, like Santa,' and more things people overhead just before Christmas. 

Did you know that there are so many strange Christmas ornaments out there? We have gathered a lot of them here so we can curate our forthcoming nightmares together– seriously, these are insane. Via: 22 Words
