A sisterly bond has become a Christmas tradition in one household, only to stir up panic in their parents.
A TikTok video posted one day after Christmas by user @localcrackheaddd explained how for the last four years, she has given her sister at least one Christmas gift that her parents "disapprove of."
The video, which has 12.7 million views, goes through family Christmases between 2018 and 2021. Each family member is seated in the same exact spot each holiday, with the father and mother sitting on their own sofa watching the kids open their presents.

In 2018 the TikToker gave her sister a 2Pac vinyl album, captioning it "because Tupac is the devil's music." The mother responded with a long "Wow" while the father replied, "Oh my gosh."
The next year the sister received a book called, The Crystal Healer, accompanied with the caption, "Because crystals and witchcraft is a sin." The father does not seem amused.
The 2020 gift may have garnered the best reaction of all. The sister opened the gift to find a "Cheat On Him" crop top, all while seated next to her ex-boyfriend on the couch. The mom exclaimed, "What!" while the dad was left speechless.
Even the ex-boyfriend attempted to laugh it off.
This past year's gift was another shirt, reading, "Moms Against Vaping." The shirt featured a heart and inhaler and was gifted "because my mom always gives us lectures on vaping."
"The inhaler picture brought it all together," the poster said.
Even the father found the shirt funny, audibly laughing. The mother seemed to like it as well, nodding her head and saying, "Great."
Many of the comments focused on the seating arrangements of the family, noting how each person has their own "place" in the room. Others chimed in by thinking the video was going to include more "adult content."
"I feel like your dad is amused by this but your mom is completely against it," said one person commenting on the video, calling it a great tradition.
The "Cheat on Him" crop top was quite the hit with viewers.
"[W]hy is no one talking abt the cheat on him shirt while her bf was there," asked one user with multiple laugh emojis. "[I] can't stop laughing over that."
The parents also received some grief. Some users commented by saying they seemed passive-aggressive in their responses.
"[T]hey look like the type of parents that have no clue what's going on in their children's lives," one person said, to which the original poster replied that they really don't.
But it wasn't all negative feedback.
"[I] love that your mom got more chill about it each year," one person said.
