People tweeting on Christmas day are ungrateful children, according to data from the social network. We asked Twitter which trended higher on Christmas Day 2013: "love my parents" or "hate my parents', as well as "presents suck" or "presents great". The grumpier sentiments won out, suggesting people take to Twitter to moan at Christmas, if last year is anything to go by.
The trend continued on Boxing Day, when "hate my parents" came even higher. Things get a bit more frayed the morning after the Christmas hangovers. Oh come, all ye iPhones
"Jesus" topped the list of terms we looked at, outstripping even "TV". But "church" was beaten out by "iPhone" and "TV". But, on the bright side, there were more people tweeting about church than about how much they hated their parents. Yes, everyone tweeted their dinner
Sick of people talking about what they're eating on Twitter? Steer clear for the Christmas season - "Turkey" outperformed "telly" in the Twitter stakes. Beef did surprisingly well, while Pigs in Blankets, Stuffing and Gravy all outperformed Brussels Sprouts
