19 Tweets That Accurately Summed Up How Omicron Ruined Christmas
Christmas has come and gone...or has it? For many, Dec. 25, 2021 was just like any other day. And we can all blame it on one thing and one thing only: Omicron.
While many of us entered the holiday season hoping that this Christmas would be less socially distanced than the last, Omicron swooped in and corrected that assumption.
Parties were canceled. Trips were canceled. Flights were delayed. Rapid tests were taken. It's safe to say that this was the variant that stole Christmas. And lots of people took to Twitter to share their Omicron Christmas stories.
Here are 19 tweets describing how the ultra-contagious Omicron COVID-19 variant ruined what was supposed to be the "post-COVID" Christmas:
