'Tis the season to fall off your hoverboard.

Thousands of people are celebrating the birth of Jesus by riding around on their brand new hoverboards -- yay 2015! -- and subsequently injuring themselves.

Social media was overflowing with merriment on Friday with dozens showing off their latest gadget, quickly followed by pictures and videos of themselves or family members eating it. The Internet couldn't ask for a better Christmas gift.

Fall la la la la...
