42 Hilarious Christmas Memes for a Jolly Good Time

Just a taste
Gotta make sure those cookies for the big guy are up to snuff. Quality control requires at least three samples.

Stocking up
The stockings are essential Christmas symbols, OK? They’re totally not an excuse to buy more cute stuff you don’t need.

Whoops!
Thank goodness we have other good qualities, because apparently we’re terrible at surprises.

New Christmas achievement unlocked
Wrapping presents requires patience, skill and humility.

The perfect seasonal gig
Is Santa hiring? Because this sounds like a pretty great job.

Celebrating Grinchmas
Sorry, I haven’t had my Christmas coffee yet. Consider yourself warned.

One for you, one for me …
Does anyone know which stores are open on Christmas? I have a few last-minute gifts I don’t need to buy (for myself).

Bye, bye presents
Next time, let’s train the dog to not attack Santa on Christmas.

It has to be perfect
Yes, there’s a method to our madness. And no, that ornament definitely doesn’t go where you’re putting it. Decorating a Christmas tree is an art, people!

Calm down
We get it, Christmas is your favorite holiday.

‘Tis the season
Time to visit a Christmas town and experience the holiday to the fullest!

Finally
We’ll race you to the tree!

Who, me?
I would never.

It’s that time of year again
The best Christmas song (aka “All I Want for Christmas Is You”) comes on, and suddenly we’re all Mariah Carey emerging from our holiday slumber, defrosted and ready to jingle.

Never
You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. If putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween makes you happy, then deck those halls, bestie.

Winter wonderland
It’s the most wonderful time of the year … until you realize half your Christmas lights don’t work. Still, nothing beats the Christmas tradition of untangling cords for three hours!

Sneaky
Moms are the absolute best.

Cats on Christmas
They really have some nerve. And while cats are cute, we really need to figure out how to keep cats away from the Christmas tree.

That one chair dedicated to the laundry pile
All it needs is a cool Christmas tree topper.

This isn’t inaccurate …
,,, but we would have shared the loot! It’s a good thing we have a soft spot for dogs at Christmastime.

The scent of sugar and happiness
Gingerbread and cinnamon and sugar—oh, my!

Prepare for battle
Time to get in the zone.

Victory
Time to celebrate. Is it too early for champagne?

Picking the perfect tree
Sometimes you just have to take control so you can get out of there. Hey, somebody’s gotta make a decision!

Straight out of a movie
The very definition of picture-perfect.

Keep your eyes on your plate
Actually, we didn’t.

The best boy
Tell me, how many mailmen did you bark at?

Resting up for the big day!
Well, what else are they supposed to do?

It’s a Christmas miracle
Let’s all rejoice.

A feast fit for a king
And wine, please.

Cuteness overload
Ready is an understatement.

This is the way (of the cat)
They’ll pounce the second you let your guard down.

He knows if you’ve been bad or good …
… at grammar, spelling and oh-so-much more.

Almost too pretty to eat
Almost.

The overachievers
Hey, maybe it’s yours.

True bliss
The sweet glide of the scissors against the wrapping paper. Ahhh …

Nobody nose
I thought so, but maybe snot. Thank you—thank you very much. And yes, we have more Christmas puns where that came from!

No way!
We hope that magic never goes away.

Who does that?
That would be a hard no.

The big, jolly guy on PTO
We understand, Santa. We all need a Christmas getaway, and you definitely earned it!
