Well, I heard of a family that always has a unique New Year's tradition. They write down their New Year's resolutions on pieces of paper, put them in balloons, and then pop the balloons at midnight. One year, the dog got hold of one of the balloons before it was popped and ran around the house with it in its mouth. It was so funny seeing the dog thinking it had found the best new toy.
There was a New Year's where a neighborhood decided to have a friendly competition for the best - decorated house. One family went all out with lights, inflatable characters, and a huge sign that said 'Happy New Year'. But in the middle of the night, a strong wind blew and all the inflatable characters ended up in their neighbor's yard. In the morning, it was a chaotic and funny sight to see the neighbor's yard filled with these random New Year's decorations.
There was a New Year's Eve when my neighbors tried to set off their own fireworks. They had bought this huge box of them. But when they lit the first one, it just fizzled out. Then they tried another, and it shot straight into the ground and made a small crater. By the time they got to the third one, we were all on our balconies waiting to see what would happen next, laughing at their attempts. Eventually, they did get a couple of nice ones to go off, but the whole process was hilarious.
My friend once resolved to stop swearing. On New Year's Eve, just as the clock was about to strike midnight, she accidentally stubbed her toe and let out a string of swear words. She then realized she had already failed her resolution before it even started.
Sure. One funny New Year story is about a family. They decided to have a midnight countdown at home. But right when the clock struck midnight, their pet dog started howling along with the fireworks outside. It was so unexpected and made everyone laugh.
Sure. One New Year's story is about a family who decided to have a very early New Year's countdown at 9 pm because they were all too tired to stay up until midnight. They popped the champagne, made a lot of noise, and then went to bed feeling like they had outsmarted the whole midnight madness.
One funny story is about the Nian monster. Legend has it that the Nian was afraid of the color red. So during Chinese New Year, people would decorate their houses with red lanterns and couplets. One year, a little boy was so excited about the red decorations that he accidentally tied his own feet with a red ribbon and hopped around like a rabbit, making everyone laugh.
Sure. Here's a joke. Why is the New Year like a gym membership? Because it starts off with good intentions but by February you've forgotten all about it! 😆
Here's another one. A woman resolved to exercise more. So she went to the gym on January 1st. She got on the treadmill and set it to a very slow speed. After just five minutes, she thought she was going to pass out. She then sat on the treadmill, called her friend and said, 'This exercise thing is way harder than I thought. I might need to re - evaluate my resolution.'
Sure. One year on New Year's Eve, my family decided to make a big dinner together. But my dad accidentally put salt instead of sugar in the dessert. When we tasted it, it was so hilarious. We all had a good laugh and ended up ordering ice cream instead.
One funny story involves a man who resolved to stop using his phone so much. He put his phone in a drawer to keep himself from using it. But then he started to feel really anxious without it. After an hour, he took the phone out, saying, 'I just need to check if there are any important messages. I'll start my resolution tomorrow.' It shows how difficult it can be to break a habit and the humorous side of new year resolutions.
There was a family during Chinese New Year. The children were eager to get the lucky money. But the father wanted to play a trick. He hid the money envelopes in different places around the house and made up riddles for the kids to solve to find them. The kids ran around, scratching their heads and coming up with all kinds of wild guesses. In the end, they found all the envelopes and had a great laugh about the whole thing.
