Home for the holidays isn’t always a bucket of cherries. We all love grandma and the look on Mom’s face when she opens that gift we spent our last two paychecks on, but there are some struggles when the whole fam gets together.
These pets are here. When you’ve gotta keep a straight face, these pets understand, bro. And they’re not holding back.
When Aunt Doreen says if the new sweater is too small, she kept the receipt so you can get the next size up:
When your cousin who thinks he’s grown now that he’s on break from his first semester at college wants to make a “super profound” toast:
When you’re trying to get your sister up for presents Christmas morning, but last night was “Christmas Eve Out With The Girls:”
When you know Aunt Muriel had a really great year financially and is a sucker for cheek kisses:
When you’re counting your haul from Christmas morning and hear someone across the room say, “I think Trump is misunderstood:”
When your mother “treated herself” at Christmas dinner and now can’t get up to escape the tickles. Though she tries:
When you’re feeling super nostalgic and try to make a snow angel, but are now too grown to remember how:
When you offer to help cook, but really you just want to lick the spoon:
That one moment where everyone’s laughing, no one’s fighting, and it’s a Christmas miracle:
When you’re stuck in Australia for Christmas, and you’re not mad about it, but, like, where’s mom?
