Cape Town – Do you light up like a Christmas tree or sulk at the lousy gift you received on Christmas? Are you ready to immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit?
Christmas is about spending time with family and friends, and celebrating the birth of Christ, as Twitter users are always sharing.
It is also about creating memories and cherishing each moment you spend with loved ones.
It is a time for laughter and joy and, without fail, South African Twitter users have shared some heartfelt and funny tweets.

You do not need to detox from your smartphone to have a memorable time, as News24 has compiled a list of tweets we think our readers would indulge in.
You can pass these on to your family or friends, sharing a laugh or a warm embrace.

On the eve of celebrating the birth of Christ, may your day be bright and love abound

My Uncle has just announced that he’s leaving for a FIVE DAY TRIP to South Africa the day after Christmas. He’s only taking a carry on and $10k in cash. #BrownFamilyChristmas pic.twitter.com/pBy5uDFtpA

The worst thing about Christmas in South Africa is that ugly Christmas jerseys are no no. It's like 30°+ out are you crazy.

Merry Christmas everyone... spread some love & happiness this festive season. Drive safely, don't abuse alcohol, don't neglect the elderly and children- visit those in hospital and share the joy with the less privileged- it will enhance your humanity! pic.twitter.com/h8wDQ0ATYj

Man, are you also promoting this false ritual of Christmas? In a winter hat? In the middle of summer in South Africa? Christmas is a satanic ritual day. Jesus was not born in December 25. You should know better Mbuyi.
