No matter what serious business everyone may try to make of it, the Christmas holidays are one big comedy reality show that airs in multiple households across the world all at once. Think of all the family drama, cursed topics at the dinner table, never-ending cocktail refills, painful gift exchanges where everyone pretends to love a Christmas sweater for 3 years in a row... do I really need to keep going?
But the more hilarity ensues in our Christmas-spirited homes, the more material it gives for hilarious tweets that surf around social media, making everyone sigh, cringe, relate, and laugh their hearts out.
So since we’re one step into the blessed comical chaos, Bored Panda has compiled a list full of the funniest tweets about Christmas. And even though we're not coming together this year due to the pandemic, the comical vibes of it all aren’t going anywhere.

Yes, and it was only through manipulation and brainwashing he came to conform.
This Christmas is going to be different for all of us. And since we are one step away from one of the most awaited celebrations of the year, one should not forget that we live in unprecedented times of pandemic that put our usual traditions on hold.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns against gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you as they “can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19 or the flu.”
As an alternative to face-to-face greetings and Christmas dinners, the CDC recommends “celebrating virtually or with members of your own household (who are consistently taking measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19)” and adds that this approach “poses the lowest risk for spread.”
Many countries across the world are currently implementing stricter quarantine rules as the Covid-19 cases continue to soar at an alarming pace. For example, in the Netherlands, the second lockdown of at least five weeks will start on Tuesday. Sweden, which resisted national lockdowns, implements their strictest restrictions so far on Friday. A hard lockdown with non-essential shops closing nationwide will also start in Germany this Wednesday and will continue throughout the holidays. Italy is now reported as the latest European country to go into lockdown.
Meanwhile, the UK reported a record new 35,928 Covid-19 infections yesterday, which makes it the highest-ever increase in a single day. The British government has divided the country into local restriction tiers based on epidemiological indicators in a bid to curb the soaring number of new cases.
Such a horrible movie. The point of the story is that it is ok to bully, unless they're useful to you.
Lol this tradition was actually a marketing technique, it was never a real tradition to begin with. Someone just made it up to sell ornaments. Still a fun tradition though.
No there aren't. Or at least there weren't until it swapped over from the USA a couple of years ago.

It has been around for at least 100 years with some German/German American people. My family is not from there but I have seen Christmas pickle in a LOT of peoples homes and the adults recall looking for it on Christmas morning for the extra present that they got for finding it
I thought hide the pickle was an entirely different thing. My bad, lol!
It certainly isn't a German traditions, despite contradicting rumours. Pickle-shaped glass ornaments arrived on German Christmas markets only after more and more tourists from beyond the pond demanded them.
It's been speculated that its origins were a marketing stunt and Woolworth was the first one to sell them in 1890

"White"? Why specifically white? Why do americans always use their race as a way to define themselves. Not kidding, guys : you are the only ones in the western world who care about it.
I got the pickle ornament because my best friend in grade school loved eating baby-dill pickles. I am still kinda friends with her in junior high, but we kinda drifted away
I bet it will be harder to find the pickle than other ornaments because 1) it is green, the same color as a tree, and 2) they say it is tiny, so it is smaller than the other ornaments
We found last year's pickle this year when we decorated the tree!

You're only truly white if instead of Santa, your family celebrates some weird gift-bringing entity like an italian witch flying on a broom or a greek bishop with his donkey and racist caricature of an assistant.
Befana and St. Nicholas aren't celebrated "instead" of Santa, but WITH Santa. Yep, our kids get presents twice. Jealous? ♡ (whatever that has to do with colour....)

my family does it with a pickle ornament and 3 mustache ornaments lmao
We had something similar. The result was the same, but it was a clear heart and later a clear star.
Alas, I won't get a heart attack trying to move my great-grandmother's old doll off the guest bed and accidentally pressing the button that makes it giggle this year... what a shame.
I'm ok with the birds and pretty much all the other gifts. But can someone explain to me the value of a Lord a Leaping.

I like Christmas because after a long crap year each year there is some joy and celebration.⭐
We never really celebrated Christmas growing up. We had a tree (of sorts) and a nice meal, but we didn't do gifts. We had another celebration earlier in the month where the gifts were symbolic. The few times so we spent Christmas with my French family who went all out were awful for me as a little kid, since we were the only grandchildren who didn't get anything. Now I do celebrate Christmas, as I'm marrying into an English family who also go all out, and I received my first stocking at 22. I enjoy a lot about Christmas, but I have to admit that I get bored very quickly of the sit around, eat chocolate and argue about what to watch on TV so I end up spending most of Christmas waiting for something to happen.
'Only grandchildren who didn't get anything"? Did you feel punished? If celebrating Christmas, real Christmas, everyone gets a present.

When my son was little, all he wanted was to sleep in. "It will be there when I wake up." was his only comment. How early did your child wake you up? Mine was removed from his bed by 11:00 AM, we couldn't wait any longer! It has become a tradition. We all sleep in.
