Well, in my family, one Christmas we had a huge snowstorm right before the big day. We were all stuck at home and decided to build an indoor snowman using the snow that had piled up on our porch. We used carrots from the fridge for the nose and old scarves. It was a mess but a really fun and crazy family memory.
My family has a tradition of doing a 'secret Santa' gift exchange with a twist. Instead of just giving normal gifts, we have to create a whole skit or performance related to the gift. One year, my cousin got a set of cooking utensils and he did a really wild cooking show skit in the middle of the living room during Christmas. It was so unexpected and crazy.
One crazy family Christmas story is that my family once decided to have a 'themed' Christmas. We all had to dress as characters from a favorite movie.

Sure. One year, I saw a lady running through the store with a huge cart, grabbing every toy she could see. She was in such a rush that she didn't even check the prices. She just kept saying she had to get all the toys for the kids in the orphanage. It was really heartwarming.
