Here are six holiday disasters.
Andrew Woodward was so excited to open his presents,
and his cat was too.
(cat screeching)
But look what the aggressive feline did to his owner.
Woodward suffered serious cuts and scratches
that required stitches.
One moment I'm sitting up, opening up a Christmas present
being overly excited, and the next minute,
you know, I'm laying on the floor hurting.
Here's the culprit, Magneto the cat.
Magneto, of course, is also the name of a super villain
from the X-Men franchise.
Coincidence?
(crashing sounds)
Andrew and his wife say Magneto gets a bad rap.
He's not a jerk.
He is so, so nice.
What happened was completely out of character for him.

(glass popping)
Next, a teen was terrified
when he heard an intruder in his family's Maryland home.
He was somewhat relieved to find
that the interloper was a deer and not a person.
The deer wasn't pulling a sleigh, however.
It was a male who was, how to put it,
romantically interested in Ryan Manchester's family tree.
(thumping sounds)
The eight-point buck may have smelled
a doe's urine on the tree.
Ryan says he called Animal Control,
who told him they wouldn't be able to get to him right away.
So Ryan says he did what he had to do.
He shot the deer.
Take note, Dasher and Dancer.

And another wild guest paid a family a holiday visit
in Florida. Bear, go!
Bear, go away!
A black bear was seen on a home's
ring doorbell camera.
The ursine knocks over some Christmas decorations.
It sniffs around and then starts messing
with a snowman figure.
And there goes the snowman's head.
Then the bear rings the doorbell with its nose.
(upbeat music)
(doorbell)
Fortunately, the homeowners don't answer the door.
Instead they yell at the bear over the intercom.
Bear, go!
Bear, go away!
Like any curious woodland creature,
the bear wants to know who's talking.
Hey, he's looking at me, bear, go away!
The bear took the hint and left.
♪ You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch ♪
This little boy in Mississippi
was alert to holiday dangers,
so he called 911 on the Grinch.
I just want to tell you something.
Watch for the Grinch,
because the Grinch is gonna steal Christmas, okay?
Okay, do you have any adults there with you?
Ma'am, I'm sorry, this is my son
playing on the phone.
Nonetheless, the Byram Mississippi
Police Department paid the family a visit.
They were good sports and let little TyLon Pittman
place the Grinch under arrest.
What did you tell him?
Put your hands behind your back.
There you go. The holiday bandit
was taken downtown and put in the slammer.
Christmas saved, thanks TyLon.
This will be a Christmas that he'll remember
for a long, long time. Forever.
(upbeat music)
Oh, Mister, please hold on.
And another concerned citizen
sprang into action to try to prevent a Christmas disaster.
Surveillance camera footage shows the man
responding to an emergency,
someone hanging onto his roof for dear life.
Oh, Mister, please hold on.
The Good Samaritan struggles
to bring in a ladder.
(upbeat music)
All right, can you reach it?
Can you reach it?
He didn't realize he was trying to rescue
a mannequin.
It's supposed to look like Clark Griswold,
Chevy Chase's character in National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation.
She was scared something like this was gonna happen.
I was like, nobody's gonna think it's real,
and she was right.
Chris Heerlein and his wife Hannah
repeated the moment from the movie, hoping to win
their neighborhood's Christmas decorating contest.
They did a pretty good job matching Christmas Vacation.
It looked so real, and it turned out better
than I could have ever expected.
Maybe it looked a little too realistic.
When the passerby gets no response from the dummy,
he yells for help.
Help, help!
The would-be rescuer was identified
as Alfred Norwood, Jr., a retired veteran.
He said I don't care who you are.
If I see somebody in need, I'll be there to help.
Oh, Mister, please hold on.
(children singing)
Finally, watch as a Tennessee two-year-old
liberates baby Jesus from this live Nativity scene.
Little Teegan, who was playing a sheep in the pageant,
seems pleased, but then the three-year-old playing Mary
attempts to repossess the doll.
That's not the end of the story.
Teegan resteals Jesus.
(children singing)
So Mary puts the sheep in a headlock.
(laughter)
Teegan is a huge fan of babies,
and she just really wanted the baby Jesus, didn't you?
Fortunately, peace on Earth
was eventually restored.
(laughter)
