The digital landscape once again lit up with the sharp, relatable, and hilarious wit of women online throughout December 2025. As the holiday season reached its peak, so did the comedic observations shared across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Threads, offering much-needed levity.
A Dose of Holiday Humour and Relatable Observations
The festive period provided rich material for online jesters. User @yeeeerika quipped on December 14 about receiving a very specific diagnosis: "just got diagnosed with needing a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows." Meanwhile, @deaflibertarian highlighted a seasonal social pitfall, warning, "Be careful saying 'I like your Ugly Christmas Sweater.' It may not be their intention that it's ugly." The user humorously concluded that such a faux pas necessitates moving to a new city.
Classic holiday narratives were also fair game. User @persianmama111 offered a succinct, skeptical review of the Nativity story on December 15: "three wise men? I highly doubt that." The timeless struggle of bad drivers received a festive twist from @MrsBacall on December 13: "you've heard of Elf on the Shelf but have you heard of using your fcking blinker."
The Relatable Pains of Modern Adulthood
Beyond the tinsel and lights, the humour tapped into universal experiences of aging and daily life. @difficultpatty captured the subtle shift into maturity on December 16: "One day you’re young and fun and the next you’re saying, 'That’s a really nice pen.'" The isolation of being the only funny person in a virtual room was painfully expressed by @BexBookaholic, also on December 16. After singing "she's checking it twice" in a Teams meeting, only one person laughed, leading to the lament, "I am wasted on these people."
Pet ownership provided endless content. @VeryBadLlama pondered on December 13 whether dogs understand seasons or if her dog simply wonders each morning, "I wonder if today’s the day that lunatic drags a whole fir tree in here again." In a bid to impress a canine visitor, @caitlin_mmm admitted on December 16 to straightening the house and applying mascara.
Sharp Takes on Therapy, Love, and Life
Therapists came under affectionate scrutiny, with @suchnerve musing on December 15 that they "probably have to struggle so hard not to ask to see pictures of the people their clients are obsessing over." Modern romance was distilled into a simple, profound question by @megannn_lynne on December 16: "(flirting) so what is your ideal soup/sandwich combo?"
Self-care was reframed by user @meishato on December 14: "don’t forget to drink water and get some sunlight because you’re basically a house plant with more complicated emotions." And in a moment of pure affirmation, user @bubblegumbword shared a memorable backhanded compliment from college on December 16: "Eve tbh if you were ugly I don’t think anyone would put up with how delusional you are."
