Sure, the Holidays are a wholesome time for most families, but for the mischievous, chaos-prone folks among us, they can become the perfect opportunity for stirring the pot. These two brothers were both proof that Christmas can be a time for love and harmony, but it can also be a time for petty revenge.

Here, we have a Redditor whose brother previously played a prank on the family by delivering them empty Christmas gift boxes. Talk about anticlimactic! Clearly, he wasn't fully forgiven as this original poster (OP) immediately started planning his payback for next Christmas on December 26th of last year. The plan really crystallized over Thanksgiving, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for some extra commentary from yours truly. For more stories like this, check out this post about a teenager who was posting videos of his parents on social media without their approval.

    He got us 3 Big Boxes wrapped them up and gave them to us. We opened up the wrapping paper only to find Absolutely Nothing inside. Just empty Christmas presents. Since we knew it was a prank we had a good laugh but I wanted to get him back.

  • Personally, I don't know if I'd be laughing in this scenario. No one wants to open a fully empty gift box. Whoever was behind that does not deserve easy forgiveness.

    The Revenge: last year during thanksgiving I told him that I overheard that mom and dad were getting him a new car for Christmas to replace his current junker it was going to be a Toyota.

    a detail I forgot to mention is that the idea for the revenge came from a similar story I heard on the radio driving to work one day. So yeah maybe stop jumping to conclusions. Merry Christmas

    duchessofcheezit • 2d ago Haha! Way back in the 80's my little brother wanted a Bigfoot for his birthday. Bigfoot was a specific monster truck, and he was obsessed. He talked about it 24/7.

    My dad (rest his soul) was a big prankster, and a woodworker. So...he made a big foot cutout. Even drew toenails on it.

    My brother opened his gift. and everyone was laughing, except for him. He yelled, "Noooo! Not THAT kind of big foot!" and burst into tears. Thankfully, his true gift was the Bigfoot that he wanted so badly.

    FYI, my brother is in his mid- 40's and I am pretty sure he still has the wooden foot. The monster truck is long. gone.
