All I want for Christmas is for celebs to shut up about their perfect lives

If comparison is the thief of joy, then for many people Christmas is the most miserable time of year. Christmas is supposed to be for celebrating with your nearest and dearest over delicious food, hearty laughter and jubilant celebration. In December, your worth is measured by the strength of loving connections.

But with that also comes a huge amount of pressure to live up to this cosy, white picket fence-family expectation. So I wish celebrities would get off social media and stop flaunting theirs. Let’s take the Kardashians as an example. They always relentlessly post about their perfect lives on social media: with their blemish-free faces, which look almost identically beautiful, doing dances with their energetic kids – and showing off their ridiculous wealth left right and centre. We’re used to that. Classic Kardashians, ey?.

But at Christmas, their insistence on posting about their manicured lives online is tasteless and crass. It’s also irresponsible. Kourtney Kardashian started December by showing off her – I counted six – Christmas trees, with another inexplicably hanging from the ceiling in her unreasonably large hallway.

Her sister Kylie posted equally overkill videos of her obscenely large Christmas trees and life-sized festive figurines overlooking her garden – which looks like it’s had a firefly infestation, there are so many goddamn lights. Last year Kim – who has so far only showed off a one frosted Christmas tree, which is the size of a small skyscraper – had 15 trees. Yes. And £2,500 worth of gingerbread houses.
