This Daughter's Prank Involving Brussels Sprouts Will Make You Love Pranks Again
Christmas pranks are notoriously, unabashedly corny. Every once in a while, however, a Christmas prank comes along that's so good it makes you forget that nearly all pranks are bad.
I'm a particular fan of Twitter user Judy Brown's Christmas prank, which involves two of the most disgusting foods on earth: Ferrero Rocher chocolates (sorry) and Brussels sprouts (which are only good when roasted or fried).
Two years ago, as part of a Christmas prank, Brown switched out a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, a favorite of her father's, for a Brussels sprout.

The prank was too good not to replicate. Still, Brown decided to wait two years for the next one in order to curb any suspicion.
This time around, she played a similar trick, but with much more artfulness and disguise.
The full thread is worth reading out loud to anyone who'll listen:
We are all chuckling, @mcjude. Thank you for your work in reclaiming the lowliest of comedy genres -- the prank -- and doing it in the name of chocolate justice.

'Through The Roof' Christmas Trees Are The Season's Most Festive Prank
If you want a 20-foot tree, you get that 20-foot tree.
In true holiday spirit, a few festive pranksters are displaying "through the roof" Christmas trees, much to the confusion of Twitter and, we're sure, their neighbors. It's not a new trend -- the practical joke has been popping up for years -- but it's causing particular cheer this season.
Mashable Top Stories
To make your tree go through the roof, do as Twitter user @aidanswalt did: buy a tall fir, cut it in half, then display half the tree inside and half the tree on the roof -- creating the illusion that it's breaking through.
You're bound to fool someone, right? Or at least make them do a double take.
