Christmas time is not just mistletoe and wine, but also a great source of funny fails and the absolute best Christmas jokes. Do you wonder why that is?

Well, let's start with the fact that you will most likely meet some weird relatives you only see once a year. The other, more obvious thing is that people tend to relax from all the worries at this time, and, inspired by the Christmas spirit, let themselves go a bit loose. And that is where the best Christmas memes come from.

The Christmas season is in the air; the usual holiday songs permeate the airwaves, decorated trees have been set up, and shoppers have begun to flood the shops and malls.

Depending on you, this time of year can be the best or incredibly stressful, so take a break from trimming the tree and check out some funny memes.

These Christmas memes collected by Bored Panda are sure to put you in the holiday spirit or at least give you a good laugh.

From not being able to afford that perfect present to the inevitable holiday weight, these funny jokes remind us it wouldn’t be the holidays without some bumps in the road. So put on the hot cocoa, scroll down, and don't forget to upvote your favorites!

    God loves prepositional phrases.... that's why he made so many of them. Add "of the boxes" between "one" and "in". Otherwise you are going to run out of children pretty quickly./

    This is actually just the attiude of the parents who claim that their children should be grateful for being born. The above things are no gifts; if you deprive your children of them you are conducting abuse and deprivation, and it is unlawful on top of that. so, get off you "it's my house" high horse.
