Christmas shopping memes
There is a very specific type of confidence required to delay Christmas shopping until the last possible moment. You tell yourself it is strategic. You work better under pressure. Christmas shopping memes exist because everyone knows this is a lie, but we keep doing it anyway.
Women especially get the full experience. You want nice things. You also want money. These two desires do not coexist peacefully in December. One minute you are on the phone pretending you still have time. The next, you are crying in a car because your taste is expensive and your budget is fictional.
Scrolling through these hits every stage of the holiday spiral. The denial. The spending. The sudden poverty. Kermit staring at seven dollars feels accurate in a way spreadsheets never could.
The Bird Box meme lands hardest because refusing to look at your bank balance is a survival tactic. And the childhood comparison hurts quietly. You remember piles of gifts and realize adulthood comes with receipts instead.
