16 Of the most hilarious tweets about Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year, or at least it's supposed to be. The period of festive cheer, whilst jam-packed with heartwarming films, endless amounts of chocolate and veritable gallons of mulled wine, is often fraught with stress. I mean, buying presents for your immediate and extended family as well as your friends and colleagues can certainly put a strain on your bank account, and don't even get me started on the dreaded office secret Santa. It's hard, however, not to get caught up in all the festivities. I mean, who can say no to the endless parties, which provide us with a rather good excuse to drink and eat far too much. Silly season, as I like to call it, then, can't be accused of not being entertaining, as these 16 hilarious tweets about Christmas prove.

I mean, any holiday which revolves around the existence of an incredibly generous bearded gent and his elfin helpers is bound to be a little crazy.
