Christmas is a time for joy. A time for gorgeous decorations, surprising gifts, ugly sweaters, and... talking about all of it on Twitter, of course.
To get you into the festive mood, we at Bored Panda, just like in 2020 and 2021, decided to put together the funniest and most relatable Christmas tweets we could find. They range from self-deprecating jokes to clever puns and wordplay, and we think it should get the job done nicely!
So get yourself some cookies and brew a cup of cocoa because we're scrolling.

The dog has a point, really. I'm sure from his/her POV, the human is being very inconsistent.
That actually happened in my family at least once. Having a real tree indoors can confuse male dogs, with messy results.
Load More Replies...honestly anything Rizzo says in the movie is hilarious
Load More Replies...Fun fact as s child I was unaware of that the muppets was not infact the original christmas Carol. I though it their story 😅
I would have agreed to this just one month ago, but now I have to say, "Spirited" with Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrell can stand alongside "Muppet Christmas Carol" in my opinion; Highly recommend watching it
Omg same. I blame this vhs of nursery rhymes I had as a kid. Creepy stuff. But I could only do muppet babies, no full muppets. Here's a snippit of my childhood trauma. Specifically the mangy looking dog from Old Mother Hubbard. https://youtu.be/iRIM4LkPrTk
Load More Replies...My English teacher told me it is also the most textually accurate. So it is a good movie, and a good representation of the book.
Yeah, almost all of “mr dickens’s” narration is direct quotes
Load More Replies...i used to secure my tree to the floor by nailing the tree stand into the floor.... crappy hardwood floor btw.... but when you have multiple cats, you learn.
Load More Replies..."I was just chilling here minding my own business and bang, it comes toppling over. I could have lost one of my lives Linda! This is a serious OSHA violation."
This reminds me so much of my cat it’s not even funny 😭! He climbs up into the tree limbs and almost knocked over the tree? If my sister hadn’t been there to have a hold on it, it and our presents would’ve been crushed 😂😂 we’re gonna look back on this and laugh
petition to change the grinch's name to "wintertime Shrek"!
Load More Replies...Would be funny if he saw this, like that one girl who took a cardboard Devito to prom, and he took a cardboard HER somewhere in return.
And Chrissy Snow from Three's Company was actually Christmas Snow.
would have prefered it to say "decided it's better for both of us if we don't attend any of OUR christmas parties". heh heh
I think the movie's alternative title is 'Can we please just give introverts some peace and quiet in the festive season? Geez'
Every year I relate to the Grinch more and more. Especially when he's standing on top of Mount Crumpet yelling out the names of everyone he hates.
I worry about his health. Those yellow eyes are signs of kidney failure.
That's lierally how school/mass shooters are made. Js. If you disagree watch the TED talk on "how i almost became a school shooter."
That is until/unless, "For Him" graduates to "For Dad;" then he is a man who can't get enough half-funny t-shirts, drinks only coffee and beer, needs all the auto accessories and somehow goes through socks like tissues.
"For granddad" then graduates to liking golf, fishing, gardening, farting and handkerchiefs!
Load More Replies...Very important questions here. We need answers!
Load More Replies...Think there's a lotta folks just putting on a big pretending face this Christmas.
There are a lot of folks that do that every year. Then there are the folks that are so angry & aggressive about having the "perfect' Christmas that they are horrible to everyone they encounter.
Load More Replies...I've never been a Christmas lover but I'm trying to reframe the holidays by focusing on the parts of it that do make me happy. Baking for the neighbors, cuddling with my cats by candlelight, decorating my house with things that I like (even if they're very different from what other people decorate with). Looking for ways to compromise or opt out of "traditions" that are draining or don't align with my values. I wish all of you pandas a warm and peaceful winter holiday season. I hope everyone can find something to look forward to. If nothing else, the light is coming back in the northern hemisphere. ✨
Happy holiday season pink_panda your celebrations sound lovely.
Load More Replies...I only feel some magic as an adult because of the joy my sons emit during the holiday. They are so filled with wonder and belief, they are the magic I feel
I am the Queen of Christmas, but we bought a house 6 months ago and I'm not completely finished decorating it for everyday (plus we've been bleeding money). I decided to just do a tree, which my son was supposed to come help decorate. He got horrible bronchitis and had to bail. So I canceled Christmas - no decorations, no tree, no presents (we're in our 60's. WTF do we really need?). We decided not to fake it this year. We had a Poinsettia on the dining room table that our Realtor dropped off. AND NO ONE DIED.
For me it's the overcommercialisation, the 'demand' to buy people expensive gifts when the nice ones couldn't really care less what you buy and the fact it literally extends to 4 months in the UK now. I work in retail so I'm sick of Christmas by Dec 1st, and celebrate when I finished the 24th that mess is over.
I strongly relate to this. Since week before Thanksgiving, I've lost two beloved pets, my f**king car bit the dust (transmission) and my 2nd extensive shoulder surgery is coming up. I haven't been able to work due to 1st shoulder's recovery. So for Christmas, I'm broke, rideless, and without my two furbabies
100 trillion dollars so I can share it with everyone too and we'll all have a good Christmas.
AND...she gets removed from the voting rolls two days before the election by furious rich, white Republican men and has to fight to re-register! And she befriends an older couple by waiting in line for 8 hours in the cold rain with them. They have to share a urine jar. (I'm from GA and I'm loving this! ❤️)
So...really not too much different than the political reality in the U.S. right now?
Load More Replies...I've had 3 cats over the past 20 years in this house and none of them get up on the counters. Either it is an overplayed stereotype or I should go buy a lottery ticket.
I've only had the one, but my sample says, buy that ticket. I had to train him to go sit in his cat tower while I'm in the kitchen. I don't leave any food out ever when I'm not in the kitchen, so the counters aren't an issue, but before I trained him, it was nonstop.
Load More Replies...I was doing Christmas dinner prep this morning when the doorbell rang. Chatted with my friend for a few minutes then returned to the kitchen where I found one of our black cats on the counter. I shooed him off but in those few minutes he'd licked the butter, sampled the red cabbage and made off with half a veggie sausage. Cats eh.
Just realised I've commented on the wrong thread. Back up one maybe...
Load More Replies...Shout out to the mums buying themselves the best present ever and wrapping it up and putting it under the tree and being so happy on Christmas for what Santa brought them
If we don’t buy ourselves something, we get nothing - we’re just ‘mom’ whose job it is to make a good Christmas for her husband & kids (yes the husband thinks it’s the mom’s lot in life to buy him presents too, whereas he can’t be bothered to get her or the kids anything without having to be pestered). If I’m not getting not one damn gift then I sure as s**t aren’t going to get my spouse something to open X-mas morning - my daughter is the only one I buy for & that’s usually capped @ $400 - $450 which isn’t very much for a 16 year old items - I always feel so guilty it’s not enough even when I used to get her double the amount when she was small -> being a mom is about constant guilt over any incompetence she feels she has.
Load More Replies...Hubby and I buy our own gifts, say "look what you got me", wrap them up, and act surprised when we open them. Perfect way to handle it for both of us!
Yep, my husband isn’t a real gift giver so I’ve had fun this year being Santa to myself via Amazon Smile. At least through smile I give back to a good charity too.
During the worst of the pandemic, my family Christmas "get together" was online. We decided not to do gifts because it seemed pointless. Now we are doing the big family dinner, but still no presents. So much less stress and anxiety!
Yes! Most years my husband & I buy each other token gifts (perfume, books, etc.) and then buy what we really want once all the sales hit in January.
Oh god, that reminds me when our cat brought a live mouse in. It managed to get behind our oven. This was the middle of the night, & my husband & I are trying to pull out our whole stove without squishing the little guy. Luckily, it was completely unharmed. So in the middle of the night I walk 1/2 km down to the fields & released it there🌾🐁
I bring them a gift, I put it under the tree as their tradition demands and this is how I get treated. They can catch their own gift in future.
Or waffling, or waddling. (If you get it, you get it, watch claymation Christmas)
Load More Replies...As a Welsh person, I agree. This is very weird but, is also amazing.
omg, some regions of the US say 'wodduh'. some say 'wodder' and still ohers say 'wadder'. yeah, we are a varied bunch.
Load More Replies...No but there is a pretty similar calendar (check the appendices of the books!) that translates well. My family loves to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's birthday (Sept 25)
Load More Replies...Also tomorrow is the first anniversary of the launching of the James Webb Space Telescope
No place for politics people. This is a time for peace and joy no matter the ethnicity.
Skeleton on electron? (Couldn't find a word that really rhymed with skeleton 🙂)
The brand name on the side of the bike is Peloton so that's it I think
Load More Replies...In this day and age it will probably be the good kids that get coal
Solar energy is actually useful tho. I would gladly be given a solar panel.
Still looks like a disaster waiting to happen when all the fishing line and ornaments get tangled up and pulled down.
Yeah, it is a bunch of shiny breakable pendulums waiting for a cat swipe.
Load More Replies...You're kidding, right? It's like one of those things you hang over a crib, my cats would love to get in there.
Heck, even I'd have a hard time not running through it a time or two, just for kicks. My cat would be ecstatic.
Load More Replies...Honestly, I do kind of like this. Cats would love all those dangling toys, too.
A cat would take one look at this and say, "Let the games begin!"
Don't think that the wise men brought myrth, frankenscence, and Bitcoin
I’ll stick with being gifted gold frankincense and myrrh ta v much
Well on the bright side, all Mariah Carey wants is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
My family does "ungifting." Instead of giving material presents we donate to charity in each other's names.
This is what happens when your "friends" keep poking your buttcrack when you aren't careful. It's just self defense!
Load More Replies...Have you seen my little dog? He was here when I sat down! (The Far Side cartoon)
C’mon!! Realy? It is an animated cartoon for all. This censure is getting ridiculous
I would buy six random items from The Dollar Tree at $1.25 each. Your $8.00 should be enough for everything plus taxes.
That’s where any Christmas $ we get goes. Every year. Bills bills bills.
I had nightmares from that one car with the weird puppets. Also a whole bunch of kids board a train in the middle of the night without their parents knowing? The whole goes all the way to the NORTH POLE. They let a child control the train at one point. A parents worst nightmare.
I always thought PE looked creepy. My grandkids were kind of split on that. The biggest problem with Polar Express is the "uncanny valley" effect. They tried to make realistic looking CG characters at a time when they were not yet good enough at it. Effects artists will talk about how you have to be on one side or the other. Either obvious 'cartoon' - Simpsons, Family Guy etc. or - or whatever is a good example of pretty realistic looking people. They are getting there now though. deep fake videos, realistic looking games.
The uncanny valley hits me hard. Like straight up horror isn't a problem for me, but creepy stays with me forever. No puppets, dolls, mannequins. Just nope.
Load More Replies...Nobody said not to shop for yourself. Go ahead and buy all that s**t you love
December is when I buy stuff sensible-me normally vetoes but cranky-me wants.
My school once had this christmas shop thing, and my mom gave me 20 dollars to buy presents at it. I cam back home with 20 dollars worth of stuff for myself.
I buy a lot now since it’s on sale. Next month it’ll cost a lot more. So don’t feel bad, feel good about it.
I hav gone off "It's a Wonderful Life" since I realized that old man Potter is - literally - Trump in black/white.
Well, if he can get to every household overnight on the busiest night of the year, I'm willing to believe he can read minds and make the list.....and that's neurodivergent at the very least.
Load More Replies...If like me he's f up the list due to ND autism/dyspraxia ,Then he's neuro divergent!
I think I'm pretty good at sarcasm, but sometimes I still don't "get" things. I'm hoping/guessing this was meant as sarcasm? As someone with autism (I honestly dislike "neurodivergent"), it feels like you are using "neurodiversity" as an insult. If you are not, I'm sorry 😐
Load More Replies...Close but not quite, during Christmas break the only time to get dressed is when you’re going out or have to wash all your pyjamas (I’m a teen, Highschool is a lot) *edit, went to the store with my friend then their house, did not get dressed and many people weren’t either, 4 days left in winter break, have only gotten dressed for extended family coming over and going on a date.
Load More Replies...This kind of stuff makes me crazy. Why is arrogance and egotism fashionable? What happened to humility and kindness?
Even the young at heart have second thoughts on Christmas.....
Load More Replies...I loved Christmas when I was a child and someone else did all the work.
39 and loved every year of it (except that one year in high school where I was really angsty, but we don't talk about that year).
The joy is seeing the joy of the children (mostly). Not many adults like paying $8 for a corn dog and standing in line for 3 hours but they still take their kids to Disneyland.
Yeah, I feel like the magic stays as long as I have someone to make it magical for.
Load More Replies...Just needs some tinsel wrapped round the bare bits, and recycle for next year. Beats killing a tree fo 'fun'.
Same, I like the original, too. This isn't a very good challenge for millennials like us!
Load More Replies...In exchange for avocado toasts - that's on them.
Load More Replies...All these comments make me feel Santa is like a serial killer. Watch out, it's Santa!
he's definitely some sort of stalker. 🎶he sees you when you're sleeping🎶
Load More Replies...Santa is a perv. Come sit on my lap, little kid, and I'll reward you by sneaking into your house in the middle of the night and leaving you a present.
i adore fluffy socks so I may or may not have literally asked for socks this Christmas.... but, like, c'mon. if you live somewhere even relatively cold, how could you not love cute fuzzy socks?
Because they already live like tomorrow doesn't exist 🎶
Load More Replies...Less fun without picture of cat sitting below, staring up at it calculatingly....
Dream on. An average cat can jump up to 6 times their length. Any self-respecting cat would take one look at this and yell, "Banzai!"
It’s normally used to signify death as in you’re at final peace. So when she says she’s going home, it’s as if she’s going to die and return to God or wherever people go when they die.
What is that in standard german games? (sorry, never heard of these two. Intercultural pandas, help your non-northamerican pandas out)
I looked it up, from what I got trogdor is like a spoof version of dungeons and dragons. The big chill was a little interesting because all I found that was even close was a bob ross board game called the art of chill which I have no clue on. I hope this helped at least a little!
