Christmastime is special because families are together, the spiked eggnog is flowing, and everyone is generally in a jolly and giving mood. This sets the stage for tremendous viral videos from hilarious to heartwarming to heartbreaking. We rounded up some of the best viral videos from Christmas 2018 for you to keep the festive feeling alive for a little longer.
One inquisitive young boy decided that he was going to catch Santa Claus in the act. So he stealthfully set up his iPad under the Christmas tree to catch the moment Santa came down the chimney with his bag of goodies. The kid got sh*t. Literally.
The video didn’t catch Santa delivering presents but it did solve the mystery of who took a dump under the tree. The iPad camera caught the exact moment that the family’s chihuahua took a liquidy, soft serve poo under the tree. The chihuahua’s owners may want to consider switching from wet to dry dog food.

This family celebrated Christmas with a white elephant gift exchange where everyone had to challenge each other to a mini-game to steal their gift. Maybe an idea for Christmas 2019?
So my family plays White Elephant with a twist: you have to challenge someone to a mini game if you want to steal their gift… With a huge family it gets out of hand pretty quick.
