If you need to take a break from buying gifts, wrapping presents, meal prep, or decorating, you have come to the right place. We have rounded up dozens of fabulous Christmas memes that we guarantee will make you feel better about things.

These Christmas memes highlight the goofier part of the season from our cats destroying Christmas trees to not really being all that into the holiday season this year. There’s plenty to laugh at and these memes are proof. Take a look at our favorite Christmas memes below and enjoy!

Timber!

“Thank goodness you’re home… the Christmas tree fainted,” this Christmas meme of a dog and a tree is captioned. Our pets really do not know what to do with a big tree in their homes.

You’re a Mean One

“The longer I’m a mom the more I relate to The Grinch,” this meme says. Can any other moms out there relate? We’ve been Grinch-ing for years now.

Halloween 365

There are so many wonderful Christmas memes out there for those of us who prefer Halloween over Christmas. “When [you’re] ready for Christmas but not quite done with Halloween,” this meme says above an image of a snowman being cannibalized by its snow children.

A Holiday Life Hack

“Christmas time is great because you can shout ‘Don’t come in here!’ and people assume you’re wrapping presents, instead of just wanting to be left alone,” this person shared via tweet. We’re going to take this advice and run with it.

The Wait Is Almost Over

Some folks can’t wait for the Christmas season to start, usually signaled by the start of the month of December. In this Christmas meme, we find Will Ferrell in human form and half-human form. “Me tonight,” the meme says, joking about the transformative power of the holiday season.

Party In the Back…

We find a “front of the Christmas tree” image versus a “back of the Christmas tree” image in this Christmas meme that is all too real. We’re all hiding our least favorite ornaments and tiny bottles of booze back there, right?

For Best Gift-Giving Results:

Here is one of our favorite Christmas memes we stumbled across. This one’s for the parents who are doing the holiday correctly. “Every mom on Christmas while you’re opening up that gift they swore they weren’t getting you,” the meme says above a little boy with a cheeky expression. How cute!

You Know Who You Are

Who else is obsessed with The Nightmare Before Christmas? Despite it being almost 30 years old, it still has so much staying power. “We all have that one friend,” the caption says above an image that speaks for itself.

They Love a Christmas Tree

“Wreck the tree and blame the doggie, falalalala lala la la,” this Christmas meme says above an image of two cats. We love this remix of the classic Christmas carol, “Deck the Halls.”

Knowing Your Worth

Honestly, Oprah is a gift. But, you know you’re a treat too. “Me showing up empty-handed on Christmas to remind my family that I’m a gift,” the Christmas meme says. Your mere presence is a gift in and of itself.

Santa, Baby

Aw! “My dog’s [favorite] toy is Santa, so we brought her to see him,” the caption says. If this is not Christmas magic, we don’t know what is!

Doom

“When you’ve already destroyed the Christmas tree and now it’s time to take down Santa’s village,” the caption for this Christmas meme says. We’re treated to a rather sinister-looking cat seemingly plotting more destruction. Bravo!

Keeping Secrets

The Office is the gift that keeps on giving as the TV show is used for countless memes to this very day. “Me trying not to tell people what I got them for Christmas,” the text says. This one’s for those of us who find it hard to keep a secret.

Unfortunate

“Maybe using ‘Let It Snow’ wrapping paper wasn’t the best idea,” the meme says over an image of an unfortunate surprise message. This Christmas meme makes us think twice about buying wrapping paper with any text on it.

The Splendor of It All

“I love nature this time of year,” this meme says over images of Christmas tree-shaped sweets. Who else is in it for that tree-shaped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup? It’s the real reason for the season as far as we’re concerned.

Festive Fashion

“Me: I hate dressing up for Christmas parties,” this Christmas meme says before saying, “Also me:” above an image of a woman dressed in a Christmas tree gown made of actual foliage. If you cherish your Christmas outfits, this meme’s for you.

Not so Sweet

Who among us has not burned a portion of our Christmas feasts? It’s just a part of the season. “Me: ‘I feel like I’m forgetting something,” the meme begins, “The cookies I put in the oven over 4 hours ago:” it finishes.

We’ll Never Be the Same

This Christmas meme imagines The Grinch and Jack Skellington as one individual. Underneath all that green fur, there’s a real surprise. We’re not sure who did this but we do know they’ve uncovered something amazing.

A Cannon Christmas

“Nick [Cannon’s] kids have hung their Christmas Stockings,” the caption says about an image of a ton of little stockings. In case you’re not keeping track, Cannon has now fathered 12 kids. 12!

You Know That Feeling

With an assist from Christian Bale, we find one of the most delightful Christmas memes ever. “When you’re wrapping Christmas presents and the scissors start to glide,” the caption reads. Who else gets chills when it happens?

The Burn

“I did not celebrate Christmas as a child,” this meme imagines Bette Davis saying. “That’s because Jesus wasn’t born yet,” it imagines Joan Crawford quipping. This is made even funnier when you account for the years-long feud between the two actors.

So True

We find a Christmas meme that really gets us in this one. “Getting clothes for Christmas as a kid,” it reads next to a sad image of SpongeBob. “Getting clothes for Christmas as an adult,” it says next to an ecstatic SpongeBob. Who else loves getting clothes over the holidays?

Sharing Is Caring

“A Christmas Carol is the heartwarming tale of how rich people must be supernaturally terrorized into sharing,” the caption reads. Where is the lie? We love a meme that offers perspective.

Discover Your Elf Name

Here’s a fun game meme that will help you uncover your Elf Name. Pass this Christmas meme along to a kid and they will surely get a kick out of it as well. Angel Twinkle Brain has a ring to it, right?

RIP

“Welcome to the Bury Santa Experience,” a banner in the photo reads. A person has offered their commentary with the statement, “Blimey, I didn’t he’d been unwell.” Santa Claus sure had a good run, didn’t he?
