In what might be the most literal “deck the halls with boughs of holly… and a smashed Lada,” a reckless driver in Kazakhstan turned a quiet town square into a holiday demolition derby. CCTV caught the joyrider doing donuts in the wee hours, only to swing too wide and plow straight into a 40-foot Christmas tree, toppling it like a festive bowling pin strike. Lights flew everywhere, the tree flattened instantly, and the driver sped off—leaving police to track him down and make him fix his merry mess. It’s the perfect reminder that holiday cheer and high-speed stupidity don’t mix, unless you’re aiming for the Naughty List Hall of Fame.
