When you think about it, Home Alone is about a sadistic little shit who tortures two petty cat burglars. He subjects them to some pretty horrifying atrocities—he bludgeons them, he electrocutes them, he trips them, he punctures them, he burns them. In A Christmas Story, two parents refuse to give a gift that will blind their son, until the father caves to the pressure and provides his child with a weapon that ultimately injures him. Elf is about an emotionally stunted man who attacks children in Central Park.

Sure, we laugh and distract ourselves with all the holiday feels, but these movies are kinda messed up. These things have to be dangerous, right?

Right!

These two YouTube myth busters decided to recreate some of the most famous Christmas injuries, including "You'll shoot your eye out," "torch to the head," "95 MPH snowball," "paint can to the face," and "molten door handle." The results are very unpleasant.

Happy holidays!
