@heitor_lessa I don’t remember it really being a thing when I was growing up in the US. I suspect it’s to do with Facebook, and having a photo to share there on the day. The big trend I’m noticing now is matching pajamas for everyone. That’s exploded in the last ten years.

@heitor_lessa Pre-Facebook, some families did take a yearly photo to be sent out as Christmas cards. (My sister has done this for like 15+ years.) I suspect that may contribute to the trend, as people started sharing those to FB instead of physically printing and posting.

@killerswan @heitor_lessa Ha, yeah. It feels like a similar thing to those stick figure stickers people would stick to the back of their SUVs bragging about their 2.5 kids and a dog.

Christmas is time for sweets! An enormous chocolate babka made by the Snook, and Kaiserschmarrn (Tirolean pancake) made by me! https://t.co/hfrgScC7Sj

In news that will surprise no one, we made way too much food for two people. (Turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted onions, glazed carrots, peas, and gravy for dinner!) @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/1hkJ8Gcy1X

@GarethinNRW YUMMMM. Well, the onions were roasted with the turkey!

Protip: when you are cold-emailing a woman on LinkedIn to ask her for advice on interviewing at her employer, make sure you know what her actual title is and don’t just assume she is a recruiter. 🙄

@anshumalis Not just that! He seems to think I’m a recruiter for TAMs. Like, what?

Merry Christmas! The turkey is thawed, the babka dough is chilling, and the homemade pumpkin pie is baked. Here’s to quiet time, good food, and Netflix with my best friend… ❤️🎄 https://t.co/8KAk4wdyme
