Another funny one is 'The Christmas Tree That Talked'. A family brings home a Christmas tree that for some strange reason can talk. It makes sarcastic comments about the family's choice of ornaments and the way they are decorating it. The kids are thrilled while the parents are a bit freaked out, but in the end, it becomes a beloved part of their Christmas traditions.
Sure. There was a story about a family who got a live turkey for Christmas. The turkey ran all around the house, knocking over the Christmas tree and scattering ornaments everywhere. Everyone was chasing it in a panic but also couldn't stop laughing.
One common theme is the chaos of Christmas preparations. Like in many stories, characters might struggle with cooking a big meal, decorating the house in a hurry, or dealing with unexpected guests. This chaos often leads to comical situations.
I recommend you to read "The Manga Artist System". This book is a light-hearted and funny novel. The main character transmigrated to the cute girl and Quan Shawu and found that Marvel and hot-blooded Wang Dao were popular in the comics industry. He was not interested in any of these. Fortunately, the system had descended, imparted full marks to him, and opened the god-level comic library! The main character would be the one to save the anime of this world! I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Reilly is a larger - than - life and extremely comical figure, and his misadventures in New Orleans are a riot.
