Every year on
Christmas Eve, people head to their family homes and rush to take photos of their festive bedroom arrangements, as it becomes vastly apparent there’s not really anywhere appropriate for them to sleep.
The hashtag #DuvetKnowItsChristmas has become synonymous with the Christmas period, to the point where some look forward to the social media posts more than the festive ritual itself.
This guy knows.Just remembered that it's nearly time for #duvetknowitschristmas the most wonderful time of the year!— Jez Myers (@jezmyers) December 23, 2019As is tradition, people share them on
Twitter with writer and journalist Rhodri Marsden (@Rhodri), who often retweets some of the best ones.
So whether you’re camped under the stairs, or in the back bedroom along with your dad’s carefully curated collection of
Star Wars figurines, just know that you’re not alone.
Here are some of this year’s best contenders so far. (And don’t forget to post your own with the hashtag, too!)Related...

Rhodri will be sharing the best photos from 9pm tonight, so stay tuned! Merry Christmas, everyone.I've got to go and see Cats at the cinema and then go for lunch and then buy a deep fat fryer and then have a nap and then watch Return Of The Jedi and a couple of episodes of Fanny Cradock Cooks For Christmas, but yes, around 9pm I expect to turn my attention to Xmas bedding. https://t.co/wA7KgBrbjy— Rhodri Marsden (@rhodri) December 24, 2019Related...
