A poor woman in England suffered an epic Christmas fail when she fell through the ceiling while looking for festive decorations in her attic.

Stacielea Doran, 30, was wearing a "Beauty and the Beast" onesie when she got wedged in the hole, with her legs dangling down. After realizing she was trapped, her partner Nicki Ball, 34, dialed emergency responders on Friday morning.

Doran said she and Ball had returned from vacation when they decided to put up their festive decorations.

“When [Nicki] came out and saw me she just laughed. Rather than helping me she took pictures," explained Doran.

“I can laugh about it now — if I don't laugh I'll cry.”

“On the way, we were obviously thinking it could be quite a serious incident, and there might be someone quite badly injured," he said. “Fortunately, I think it was embarrassment more than injury.
