Shopping for holiday gifts can be a nightmare of crowds, neverending lines and wondering if you can get away with getting your brother-in-law the same winter hat for the third year in a row...

Let the great exchange of the same back and forth $25 commence! So, if you could certainly use a break from the crowded malls and overall chaos of the holiday season, here are the funniest tweets we could find from people who are brave enough to complain. Is it cool to just give everyone envelopes full of cash?

My sister’s Christmas power move is that she’ll show up with zero gifts, then in the middle of dinner she’ll start tapping away on her phone, say something like “by the way, you should check your email,” and then you’ve got a $150 Sephora gift card
