Dad forgets handbrake in Christmas comedy of errors
One dad nearly ruined Christmas when he hopped out of his car to save the fallen family Christmas tree and forgot to lift the handbrake.
Mum, dad and daughter were admiring this year's luscious new tree in their front yard when the pine standing in a pot fell over in the breeze.
Dad only hopped in his car a moment before, then leapt out to pick up the toppled evergreen, his effort caught on a home security camera.
He left the car so quickly he forgot to pull on the brake and the sports 4WD rolled backwards down the semicircle driveway toward the road.
Dad bolted for the car and jumped through the open door to pull the brake on in time to stop the vehicle in the middle of the street before it bumped into some palm trees in the neighbour's yard.
A shocked mum held her heart at the hilarious comedy of errors that nearly ruined Christmas.
There is nothing worse than when disaster strikes just weeks from Christmas, although sometimes all you can do is find the funny side - especially when the tree gets knocked over.
