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.

Here are 19 tweets describing how the ultra-contagious Omicron COVID-19 variant ruined what was supposed to be the "post-COVID" Christmas:
