12 Holiday Social Media Posts You Need to Stop Doing

We don’t mean to be the social media Grinch here,  but we’re sure the large majority of you are tired of seeing these 12 holiday social media posts, too.

#1 The food on table post

Turkey on Thanksgiving. Inspired.
Turkey on Thanksgiving. That’s inspired.

Unless it’s gourmet or prettier than the average food post, chances are, we don’t want to see it.

#2 The log cake post

Yeah, they're festive, but they all look the same.
They may be festive, but they all look the same.

Because none of us knows what a log cake looks like during Christmas.

#3 The photo of your Christmas tree

We know it looks pretty from where you're standing, but umm.. love.. some things you should keep for your personal album.

Because a bad pic of blurred-out lights gives us much joy.

#4 That expensive branded gift you got for yourself

Well done, you. It is definitely about you alright.
Well done, you. It is definitely about you alright.

It’s bad enough that you’re bragging, you’re bragging about being self centred during the season of giving…

#5 That expensive branded gift someone got for you

Um, yay. We are so happy for you.
Um, yay. We are so happy for you.

If you donated that, then THAT would be a great post to talk about.

#6 Christmas decorations at your mall

And then there are malls that recycle decorations...

You mean… the same mall we are seeing/can see/have seen already?

#7 The snow on ground post

Unless this is your first time seeing frozen rain, keep it to yourself.

Groundbreaking, this is. Never before seen. Wow. Such photography.

#8 The Christmas themed family photo

We can't decide whether to laugh or to cry.

Wearing the same sweaters doesn’t make you cool.

#9 That same firework post year after year

It's like Groundhog's day on Instagram.
It’s like Groundhog’s day on Instagram; without spectacles.

Fireworks on NYE? Now that’s a first.

#10 Your kid in front of decorations

She obviously doesn't want to be there, and we don't want to see her there either.
She obviously doesn’t want to be there, and we don’t want to see her there either.

Let us break this to you gently… this does no one any favours.

#11 That pet in the Christmas hat

The cat is probably plotting your death while the dog is wondering why such torture was invented.

We appreciate the ones who put in effort, but your cat in the hat post again is not giving us much joy.

#12 The holiday you are on

That green creature you're seeing is not the Grinch, but the jealous monster.

That we are not! 🙁

The Luxe Nomad

Like you, we love to travel but we think that staying at beautiful places shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag. That’s why we’ve gone out there and snagged the best design and luxury hotels and resorts in the Asia Pacific region at rates you won’t believe. WanderLuxe is our little corner of the world where we share our inspirations and thoughts about travel!
