From black tie to dog content: The dos and don’ts of posting on social media at Christmas
Share:
I am a very nosy person. Instagram Stories were invented just to make me happy. And over Christmas, my screentime goes through the roof. Not just because the Christmas period can get a little boring, but because it’s the Snoopiest Time of The Year. It’s snoop central. ‘Tis the season to be snoopy!.
You’re all out there, showing off your families and family homes, meals and presents, and we get a good look at you in a way we’ve never seen before. Even the most demure of influencers give a little away on Christmas. It’s delightful. (Reader, it is important that I point out now I am not a stalker nor do I have any murderous instincts, just an insatiable lurker, I promise).
However, there are things that even *I* do not want to see. In-your-face declarations of poshness are braggy and unsightly, documenting exercise is cruel, and matching PJs are not worth the polyester they’re printed on. Here, we offer a quick guide on what to post (and what not to post) over the Christmas period. Happy snooping, to one and all.
So I can accurately make new assumptions about you, or challenge my pre-existing assumptions about you, or just have a nose about, really. I want to know if your mum has good taste. I want to know if you’re hanging out with your nan. What does your partner/boyfriend/girlfriend look like? Do you spend it together? Have you decorated your tree in an organised way or a messy way? How many presents are underneath — a ludicrous number or a more minimalist offering? Are there stockings? Where? How big? Old? Modern? Let me seeeeeeeee!.
