Or lazy kisses and wandering hands beneath your best dress on a romantic Valentine's Day date.But sometimes, Grandma gets boozed up and passes out at the table, your brother gets caught rubbing one out under the fireworks, your kids catch mommy kissing Santa (and not on the lips), your special new toy winds up in the wrong gift bag, a goat steals and wears your sexy new thong and watching the ball drop takes on a whole new meaning.In other words, the holidays can be magical, but sometimes, they're also just f*cking awkward.
