Time just flies right past, and before you know it, the holidays will be here. Which is why you had better hurry up and try your hand at giving us the best WTF Christmas Story ever, to help us found a new holiday tradition. Or at least, give us one bright spot in the yawning abyss of 2020.

Can you teach us the true meaning of WTFMas?

What We Want

We want your best holiday story. Any holiday is valid, though given the time of year, we're expecting one of the many solstice-adjacent holidays. This story can be based on real experiences, or it can be entirely fictional, because what we really want is a new holiday tradition.

The best submissions will:

  • Contain a core WTF, whether it's a bad boss, bad technology decisions, or incompetent team members
  • Prominently feature your chosen holiday
  • End with a valuable moral lesson, that leave us feeling full of holiday cheer

Are you going to write a traditional story? Or maybe a Dr. Seussian rhyme? A long letter to Santa? That's up to you.

How We Want It

Submissions are open from now until December 11th. Use our submission form. Check the "Story" box, and set the subject to WTF Holiday Special. Make sure to fill out the email address field, so we can contact you if you win!

What You Get

The best story will be a feature on our site, and also receive some of our new swag: a brand new TDWTF hoodie, a TDWTF mug, and a variety of stickers and other small swag.

The 2 runners up will also get a mug, stickers and other small swag.

Get writing, and let's create a new holiday tradition where opening the present may create more questions than it answers.
