‘Is that a balloon in your hand or, are you just pleased to see me?’
 
Last Christmas, I gave you a selection of women posing by their seasonal fertility symbols. This year, I thought it’d be fun while we write our cards and drink eggnog to have a look at the festive shenanigans that go on all around the Christmas tree—from the mind-numbing boredom of the office party to the utter futility of opening up presents on Christmas morn.

Now, you may say, “Who gives a fuck about Christmas?” And I’d have to say right back at you fella, “Well, that’s not the right kind of attitude to have if you really want to be on Mr. Claus’s nice list. Talking like that is only going to get you a big lump of coal in your stocking.”

It’s quite easy to be cynical about the Holidays, but I have to be honest, I really like this time of year because I always get lots of free stuff. So, whatever you’re doing this holiday season, make sure you get free stuff too. And remember if you don’t like what you get, you can always sell it on eBay.

And now, here are the vintage photographs of people doing stuff at Christmas.
 

Bad Santa.
 

‘I keep getting this feeling somebody’s watching us…’
 
More festive fun, after the jump…
