When you think of it, the Christmas holiday is really the perfect time to crack a joke or two, or go on a full-on week-long comedy bender. Everyone, yourself included, is kinda in a good mood, so the chances of offending someone are at yearly lows (unless you step into politics or decide to school the anti-Covid-vaxers, of course). After all, it’s all about having fun, and fun is in the eye of the beholder, right?
So this time, Bored Panda compiled a festive list of people having the time of their lives thanks to a smashing sense of humor, overall good spirits, and a dash of absurdity, which is always a big part of Christmas.
Get ready to relate a whole lot, and don't forget to upvote your favorite pics! And after you’re done reading this one, don’t forget to check out our previous humorous posts with 42 people having a worse Christmas day than you, and a priceless compilation with 50 Christmassy memes.

Chances are we will be remembering the Christmas holidays: 2020 edition forever. One of the most awaited celebrations of the year has undergone a dramatic shift due to the coronavirus pandemic, with many staying behind closed doors, opting for virtual conversations with friends and family.
On the other hand, living in the times of the greatest public health crisis in modern history may feel like a perfect time to cut back on holiday-related excesses, like mindless shopping and overabundance of food. According to The Atlantic, “people often identify holiday profligacy as a modern problem, hastened by malls and chain stores and online shopping.”
But it turns out that the history of indulgent celebrations is as old as the history of civilization itself. For example, the ancient Roman holiday of Saturnalia, a days-long December feast, was already criticized for being too materialistic at the time.

Celebrating Christmas With My Wife’s Family, When Suddenly
Special 2020 Feature
These days, Christmas has become a part of our personal and cultural identities that go hand in hand with the capitalist modus operandi. Dell deChant, a religion professor at the University of South Florida, told The Atlantic that in that sense, Christmas is a great normalizing experience. “If we’re not able to consume, then, to a certain extent, we’re marginalized—within the culture, as well as in our own minds.”
But if other years, indulging in the gifts galore and holiday sales shopping was part of the whole experience, this year may be an excellent opportunity to rethink our priorities and turn to what’s really important. After all, an endless sea of discounted candy or perfumed soap isn’t going to make us any happier, but a call to a family member will.

Bees are lovely. And, this is a beeautiful gift. I love everything here.
Moms archive those comments. I told my Mommy that I loved a Cow at a Fair once and every Birthday, Christmas, or any time there is anything with a Cow on it she gets it and gives it to me. This is how my complete love and wanting a pet Cow was born. Now I am obsessed and now all my friends know and gift me the same way. And I adore and love every second of it.
You got off easy. I once mentioned to a boyfriend all I wanted was something small and green. I meant a plant. He remembered me saying "Oh that's cute" as we passed a chameleon at the pet shop. Guess what I got.
Amazing what people pick up on and remember. What I've learned is to watch what you say you like or love when around those that love you and are closest to you. LOL
Load More Replies... The joke is that she’s gonna be stuck getting bee presents for years, but it’s actually not a bad concept to be stuck with. Bee stuff is cool. I wish I had a parent who thought of me this way. My dad hands me his credit card and says “buy yourself something nice.” He’s a good dad but not a good gift giver lol.
Such a mum thing to do! Also I love when presents are themed. Also bees ARE lovely
Present overkill. I see some piles on social media and you just wonder what the hell is wrong with some families that they needs half a store as presents.
I haven't talked to my mom in about four years, brother either!!! How nice, you have a good mother! THink I"ll send mine some crickets in a gift wrapped box or some HUMAN crap inside a Tiffany box hahah!! GLITTER BOMB!!!
