5 Weeks 'Til Christmas: 20 Holiday Memes to Jingle Your Bells This Season (November 21, 2024)

Full disclaimer: I love Christmas. 

And when it starts beginning to look a lot like Christmas–whether we're seeing eggnog pop up in the aisles at Trader Joe's or the tree lot is beginning to fill with fragrant pines at the department store parking lot–there's something in me that snaps, crackles, and pops with glee. However, it's not that kind of season for most people. 

For most, the holidays can be a bit tedious and stressful, planning family gatherings with your insufferable in-laws or running around town to find some limited edition toy for your kid's perfect gift. But if you take a step back and glance at the flickering Christmas lights for just one moment, the snow sticking to your car window becomes less of a nuisance and the cold turkey leftovers in the fridge make you salivate over your next lunch hour. Cinnamon coffee, raspberry thumbprint cookies, and warm woolen sweaters are just a few of the wonderous delights of winter that await us. 

Take Christmas by the reins this year and spend your most beautiful free moments how YOU choose–with your chosen family, beloved friends, and a schnapp-chocolate to keep your fingers warm at the Christmas light parade. Lean into the magic and enjoy the childlike wonders, because even though we're old now, it doesn't mean we have to jump head-first into the rat race of the holidays. Sit back, be a kid again, and scroll through these magically relatable Christmas memes that young and old can chuckle about.
