A Brief History of Funny Christmas Memes
The meme has become a staple of internet culture, often mirroring trends and sentiments in the culture at large. The idea of a meme goes back to Richard Dawkins’s 1976 book “The Selfish Gene,” in which he defined it as an idea that spreads from person to person. In this digital age, memes have taken on a new life as a type of graphic humor that spreads like wildfire on social media sites.
Christmas memes started popping up as a means for people to voice how they felt about the holiday season—whether it was joy, frustration, or nostalgia. They often build on shared experiences around Christmas, like shopping frenzies, family tensions, and holiday rituals. And so it was that with the rise of social media — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter — the sharing of these entertaining creations became a trend.
Common Themes in Christmas Memes
There are a lot of themes that we see in Christmas memes all over the world that anyone can relate to:
- Gift-Giving Stress: Many memes find humor in the stresses of finding the perfect Christmas gift or engaging in last-minute shopping. For example, a meme that shows someone running around looking for presents may become popular with the text “When you find out Christmas is tomorrow and you haven’t bought anything.”
- Family Gatherings: Holiday family dynamics can be touching and trying. Memes tend to put a funny spin on family dynamics—be it handling eccentric relatives or making small talk during dinner.
- Nostalgia: A lot of memes evoke happy memories from childhood Christmases. A classic example would be the comparison of “Christmas as a kid vs. Christmas as an adult,” how the magic fades away from our eyes but is replaced by new joys.
- Holiday Food: Food is central to many Christmas celebrations, and memes often humorously depict the overindulgence that comes with festive feasting. From cookies to eggnog, these memes capture our love for holiday treats while playfully acknowledging our tendency to overeat.
- Pop Culture References: Many Christmas memes incorporate references from popular movies, songs, or celebrities. For instance, memes featuring Mariah Carey’s iconic song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” often circulate during the holidays, humorously depicting her as the queen of Christmas music.
