Everyone crashed their new holiday drone

Few things define the holidays like the fading whine of a newly-gifted drone as it floats ever farther away, over branches and out of sight, where it will eventually smack into a tree and smash into the ground.

Many people have given and received drones this holiday season. Many of those people have also watched as their presents — in minutes — turned into husks of their former selves.

Drones are hard, but hopefully we can all have a collective laugh at just how gloriously frustrating they can be as a holiday gift.

Many people, for example, tried to bring down the Christmas tree with their new toys.

Others are generalists, and aimed for any tree in sight.
