Hey, happy Christmas music. Read the room.

2020 brings a whole new meaning to that part in It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas that goes "and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again."

i’m back to the old yearnings from the beginning of the pandemic where I’d pay $900 to flirt under some christmas lights at a bar that smells weird

Not for nothing but Mariah Carey could become even more of a legend this season if she did a new version of her holiday classic called "All I Want for Christmas Is You (To Not Spread COVID to Your Loved Ones)"

What’s another way of saying “The best thing about the pandemic is not having to see any of you losers?” I really want this Christmas letter to pop.

My family has decided that for Christmas dinner we're having dino nuggets and pizza.

Because if 2020 has taught us anything, it's how good it feels to say, "fuck it" and just do what makes us happy.
This year I won't be sending out Christmas cards.
— Jack's Dad (@DaddingAround) December 13, 2020
I'll tell you it's because of infection risk or whatever, but honestly I just can't be bothered.
One of my kids ate all of the chocolate in his advent calendar on December 1 and given how unpredictable this year has been, I totally get why he’d want to secure some guaranteed joy up front.

What will I miss most about Christmas this year? Slowly descending to the floor on a leaking air mattress while a collection of nutcrackers stares at me, open-mouthed.

Nearby town holding their Christmas parade during a pandemic because “there was a lot of community support” is like giving your toddler candy for dinner “because they really, really wanted it.”

Covid holidays are so easy when your family hates each other. Feels good to have a win

Andy Williams: 🎶 it's the most wonderful time of the year 🎶

Me: yeah not a very high bar this year, Andy
At first I was worried my kids would see all the Amazon packages arriving with their gifts since they’re home all the time.
— SpacedMom (@copymama) December 5, 2020
Then I laughed and realized they never look up from their devices.
Looking forward to Hallmark’s holiday offering “A Very COVID Christmas,” when a big city lawyer and a country candle maker accidentally meet when they go to the wrong zoom meeting.

Drove our kids around town to look at Christmas lights but they brought an iPad so they could watch a different kid drive around his town looking at lights.

I wonder how Janice from Accounting will get drunk and show us her secret tattoo that she’s “never, ever shown anyone,” like she does every year?
My husband and I decided to skip Christmas gifts this year. I can’t wait to see what he gets me.

Every year, friends of mine pick the ugliest tree they can find for Christmas and this year’s entry perfectly sums up 2020. pic.twitter.com/zbr8cermOc

I miss not being able to lie about why I can’t go to your Christmas party.

Me, pre-COVID: You’re too old to be going into your attic, Mom.
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) December 14, 2020
Me, post-COVID: You’re on a ladder on the roof fixing Christmas lights in the snow? Good for you for staying home and keeping yourself busy.
Dolly Parton wrote this Christmas Square movie like she knew all America needed was a good Christian message (and a vaccine) to fix 2020. She said, y’all gon learn and grow today!

The silver lining on my covid Christmas is that it's not safe to see any of my wonderful loving family, so I don't get any of their weird catholic guilt either. It's a trade I can make just this once.
— Some Boys' Mother (@someboysmother) November 30, 2020
We just took our holiday card pic at home. It’s later than usual. Actually, usually, we have tons of photos to choose from with all the fun things we’ve done and outings and trips throughout the year, but The Covid wasn’t tryna hear it. *deep sigh*

The Nutcracker is weird. A Christmas Carol is weird. Frosty the Snowman is weird. In 2020 let’s take a beat and come up with less weird and unpleasant holiday traditions moving forward

Hmm...COVID started spreading right after Christmas last year. What if it turns out the culprit all along was Elf on a Shelf?
