Thanks to me, there’s a new tradition in my family: the cringy Christmas T-shirt competition.
If you’re thinking of adopting it, a warning. It will end in one of two ways. Either your family rolling around in fits of laughter, or them banning you from future events.
Here’s ho-ho-hoping it’s not the latter.
We started it last year, let’s just say Nan wasn’t a fan at first. Surprisingly it’s back for another year.
The brief? Wear a Christmas themed T-shirt on December 25 that is sure to make us laugh. The biggest laugh, wins. Sounds hilarious, right? What could possibly go wrong?
Google ‘novelty Christmas shirts’ and you’ll realise very quickly that this can get inappropriate, fast. Aunty Sue wet her festive pants.
Tees with slogans like, “It’s the most wonderful time for a beer”. I also loved “Sleigh my name, sleigh my name”.
Listen: Meghan Markle’s Christmas is about to get very interesting. (Post continues after audio.)
When I saw the slogan “I got Ho’s in all different postcodes”, I realised some of these T-shirts would quickly put you on Santa’s naughty list.
My family is a competitive bunch; I opened a can of worms. Christmas got awkward, embarrassing and hilariously offensive. Also, it was on for young and old. Don’t go thinking the kids were left out.

I saw one the other day that said "If you ring my bells you'll be sure to get a white christmas" :O I love a good double entendre as much as the next person but that was a little much even for me!
