Mum mortified after husband accidentally makes her Christmas lights X-rated

A mortified mum left people in hysterics after accidentally installing an X-rated Father Christmas in her festive display.

Mum Amber Zink, from Iowa, said her husband had forgotten to zip-tie Santa's hand up to wave - leaving the impression that something much ruder was happening.

She shared a video of the display, which covers three acres, on TikTok, which received more than 35 million hits.

The festive character was meant to be waving his hand at passersby, but ended up making a rather explicit gesture, which the mum dubbed "obscene",

Along with the video @ambieannzzz, Ann quipped: "Just a tiny mistake."

The naughty Santa Claus had everyone in stitches on social media as many made crude jokes.

One person wrote: "Naughty list this year, huh?"

A second one commented: "In the words of Bob Ross, there are no mistakes only happy accidents."

A third added: "He 'forgot' or is he a legend, leave him alone!"

In a follow-up video, her husband, called Ryan, joked he'd done it on purpose - prompting warnings that the couple may receive complaints.

One joked: "The neighbourhood is going to be having a strong word with you."

Meanwhile, one ex-teacher went viral after sharing what it really means when your child is given a role in the Nativity.

You might think it was random, but, according to Leon Hady, the role given to your child could say an awful lot more about them than you think.

And one dad was slammed after revealing his controversial method of ensuring his children behave in the run-up to Christmas.

His 'hack' was dubbed abusive by traumatised viewers - while others thought it was hilarious.
