These tweets sum up the joys of going home for Christmas

Christmas. It's a lovely time. Mum's in the kitchen swearing under her breath about having to cook 'a qwin-wa/keen-wa/how-ever-you-bloody-say-it salad', dad's removed himself to shed to avoid your mother, gran's just loitering around dropping the occasional racist/sexist comment, while you answer the home phone to the news that your great-grandmother has absconded from the nursing home and her where-abouts are currently unknown. Honestly, you can't make this shit up (I didn't - this actually happened a few years back).

We've all encountered an experience like the one above, and a Twitter thread that appeared last night proved this. These tweets sum up the joys of Christmas that we're all guaranteed to have.

1. Your Grandma making a comment on your jeans with ripped knees.

2. At least five Christmas day engagements all over your newsfeed.

3. Being too hungover from Christmas eve to deal with small children.

4. Messaging your high school fling 'just to say hey'.

5. Forgetting to pack your shampoo, and having to use whatever you find in your parent's shower.

6. Trying to watch a movie with your parents.

Stay strong everyone. It'll be over soon.
