YAA Holiday Countdown 2018: Holiday Anecdotes

Note: An ‘anecdote’ is a short, real and amusing story about an incident or person.

Anecdote #1: I was six, and it was Thanksgiving and I was so excited! My mom invited her friends over and said that I can as well. I invited two of my closest friends, I was so excited that I started jumping! I noticed glasses on the floor, but didn’t pay to much attention to them. I accidentally jumped on them, and I got glass all over my face, hands and legs.   -Kim, Alberta

Anecdote #2: It was Christmas and I believe I was 6. My grandma gave me a present, but I can’t quite remember what it was. But I didn’t like it, therefore I had a tantrum. Now that I look back at that day, I should’ve been grateful that I even got a present. – Anonymous

Anecdote #3:  It was Christmas break, so I decided to go by my cousins. We were merrily playing a game until my little cousin picked up a broomstick and chased us around the house. It was all fun and games, but she started hitting us with it. There is a nearby pond so my other cousin and I ran down there. We realized that we were trapped. We started to scream. People thought we were being attacked by crocodiles. Two men bolted to rescue us, only to realize that we were being chased by our little cousin…with a broomstick. They looked at us with disdain and returned from whence they came. I got sent home, and I couldn’t see them until the next day.  – Anonymous

Anecdote #4: “One summer, my family and I went to Disney World and my parents thought that they lost my sister in a crowd. They started panicking and calling her name only to realize that she was sitting on my dad’s shoulders.”   –  @mklafavers on Twitter

Anecdote #5: Once, my mother and I were baking chocolate fudge cookies for Thanksgiving. We read the instructions and said to ourselves “Ten minutes in the oven!?” After 10 minutes we decided that they were way to soft, so we put them back in for another 10 minutes. When we took them out, they were rock-solid. Moral of the Story: Follow the recipe, especially if you aren’t a chef. – Kassidy, Alberta

Anecdote #6: For Christmas I was making a cake, I reached for the ‘sugar’, and dumped a lot in. Later on, while tasting the completed cake, I realized that something was off. It was way to salty! Oops! I put salt instead of sugar.- Anonymous
