A child drinking a beer on the streets after midnight is interesting enough on its own, but 4-year-old Hayden Wright apparently had more than drowning his sorrows in mind.

Wright decided to take a late night prowl around the neighborhood at 1:45 a.m. After ringing a neighbor's doorbell and greeting the homeowners with beer in hand, he went on to break into another neighbor's house and steal their Christmas presents. (We guess the first guy just shared a brew with the little 'fella?)

When police found the boy he was wearing a brown dress -- one of the gifts he had taken. Keep reading to watch the video, which actually uses the line "Drunk 4-Year-Old Steals Christmas."

According to April Wright, Hayden's mother, she has protective devices on the doors to prevent him from leaving but he broke one off. The beer was taken from her father's cooler, but she's not sure how he got it open. Wright was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption. Child protective services have investigated and told her she will be allowed to retain custody of her son.

Wright explains that her son "wants to get in trouble so he can go to jail because that's where his daddy is." And with that, this story officially replaces the missing Christmas lawnmower as the saddest holiday tale of all time.
