No Gonzo Xmas is complete without the family group chat dissolving into anarchy. In 2022, the political climate was the uninvited guest. Uncle Jerry’s rants about "woke snowmen" were met with cousin Becky’s PowerPoint presentation on the pagan roots of holly. The term emerged—giving a gift so unhinged (a taxidermied squirrel wearing a Santa hat, a subscription to a cult newsletter) that it ended the conversation entirely. It was glorious.

The supply chain was a broken spine, making the quest for the "it" toy feel like a desperate scavenger hunt in a dystopian wasteland. If you found that specific air fryer or that high-end gaming console, you didn't just win Christmas; you beat the system.
