People Who are Having the Worst Christmas Imaginable

There’s nothing like a last-minute Christmas plot twist courtesy of a bright pink positive line. One second you’re grabbing your coat to head to the in-laws, the next you’re staring at a rapid test that just cancelled every plan you had. Holiday spirit? More like holiday quarantine.

The timing couldn’t be worse, either. Gifts are wrapped, food is packed, expectations are high—and now you’re sending the dreaded “sooo… bad news” text. At least you found out before sitting through a three-hour dinner. Not the Christmas surprise anyone wants, but definitely a Christmas story you’ll remember forever.
