It’s that magical time of year again, when folks across social media platforms post their favorite funny and sarcastic Christmas memes to get into the holiday mood. From debates over Die Hard being a Christmas movie to the late, great Grumpy Cat channeling our seasonal grumpiness, these memes are here to remind us: that laughter is the best holiday spirit.
Whether you’re a festive fanatic or a certified Scrooge, these memes are proof that humor unites us all, one humorous punchline at a time. Memes are a known stress reliever, and for many people, big family holidays and all the expectations that come with them can cause immense stress.
Forbes notes that “Memes’ virality and popularity can be attributed to their ability to encapsulate complex ideas and emotions in an easily digestible format,” according to a 2013 study published by the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication.
They add in the article that, “By laughing at memes, individuals can distance themselves from their stressors and view them from a lighter perspective. This cognitive shift is helpful for cultivating resilience, allowing people to adapt and bounce back from adversity.”
