Title: The belated Christmas ornament I finally delivered to my mom
After weeks of promising to deliver the hand-painted ornament I made in December, I finally arrived at my mom’s house—two weeks after Christmas. I walked in with the ornament wrapped like it was a precious piece of art. My mom, confused but excited, unwrapped it only to find a mismatched assortment of holiday colors and glittery designs that clearly showed my last-minute crafting skills. “A masterpiece!” I declared, trying to dodge the ‘why so late?’ questions.
What made it even more hilarious was that while everyone else was busy regifting their holiday decor or returning ugly sweaters, my mom proudly hung my craft blob on the tree, which still had the remnants of her Christmas cookies dangling from it. She told me that she was going to wait until next year to put it out, creating new competition for an already ugly ornament. So there it was—a unique reminder that I’m not just late, but also potentially starting a new family tradition: “Awkward Ornaments of 2023.” Only my mom could turn my slightly tragic procrastination into a heartwarming holiday legend!

The Christmas ornament I eventually gave to my mom, albeit late.
T
I hope you’re 34, but I suspect you’re 35 and added wrong.
T
Oh…. oh no….
Y
Six toes and you couldn’t even count how many Christmases you’ve had???
C
It was an off-by-one error
H
Hey, to be fair, there was probably a while where he could only count up to 21!
P
He had to account for the leap-toe.
V
you’re not late for 2025, you’re waayyy early for 2026. Easy Peasy
I
Too late for 2024
P
2027 is right out.
M
Not too late to sneak over, sharpie that 5 into a 6, and say its for Christmas 2026
G
Close! Math was done under holiday pressure 😅
T
I love this reasoning.
M
Hahha
C
“holiday math”
M
My SIL made the same mistake over Christmas and I didn’t have the heart to tell her 😅
T
Mine did too. At least they’ll match.
S
I’m missing something here. Why can’t he be 35 with this still accurate?
F
The baby’s first Christmas is before they are 1 year old. The “zero year” has to be added as well
S
Of course. Thank you. It was like 2 in the morning, haha.
B
Could be born on Christmas I suppose.
A
Unless baby was born in the first few months of the year
M
No, even if they’re born on December 26th they’ll still be zero when December 25th rolls around
A
Omg I’m so dumb 😂😂😂😂 my brain was mixing up gestation and birthdays for some dumbass reason 🤦🏻♀️ this is why you shouldn’t comment on Reddit immediately when you wake up. I swear I’m normally not this stupid.
N
OP counted on their fingers and toes.
A
Ha. Came here for this
C
You seem to have… Six toes? Nice 👍
T
Can’t everyone count to 21?
I

K

M
Loving the random Psychostick 😀
B
Only men.
T
22….
M
Did you just forget how many toes you have?
S
I think you’re not getting which ‘digit’ is being referred to by the ‘only men’ comment lol
S
The true middle finger.
M
Yeah that’s fair, I didn’t pay attention to that.
T
Has my ability to count Christmases celebrated verses years on this earth not demonstrated my math skills enough?
M
I probably would’ve gotten that part wrong too. Hope mom liked the ornament! The nose especially creeps me out. But I like the antlers and the goofy eyes & eyebrows.
T
The worst part is, I deal with that issue daily when counting out serial numbers at work. My wife did the writing, as my handwriting is atrocious, and I didn’t catch that. Thankfully no one else noticed either. The googely eyes were part of my demands to willingly participate (along with the extra toe)
T
I learned a new number every birthday.
E
I can only count to 6 What the heck comes after 6?
