Tis The Season: People Share Their Wild Christmas Stories That Are Making Us Feel Better About Our Families

Here’s another important life lesson for you – if you want to test that your medication is working, I strongly do not recommend doing something like this. There are far better ways to check if it’s a placebo effect that doesn’t involve slamming your arms into car doors as this grandma did!

I’m not too sure what possessed her to do this. Perhaps she’d also had a little too much eggnog. Either way, it makes for a hilarious Christmas memory. “Hey, Mom – remember when you deliberately broke your own arm on Christmas?” At least they got to spend the holidays together, even if it was at the ER!
