Duvet Know It's Christmas: People Are Sharing Their Hilarious Christmas Sleeping Arrangements

'Three pictures of Christ are watching over me...'

It’s a universal truth that if family are getting together over the Christmas period someone is going to be without a proper bed - whether you’re a teenager or have been married for 30 years, all bets are off when you go home.

Camped under the ironing board, on the living room floor, on an airbed that 100 per cent will have deflated by the morning, it’s all part of the fun (supposedly).

In recent years, people have started sharing snaps of their festive snoozing set-up on Twitter with writer and journalist Rhodri Marsden (@Rhodri) using the rather brilliant hashtag #DuvetKnowItsChristmas.

The 2018 offerings have started already and they’re not disappointing.

Joining in with #duvetknowitschristmas - as the youngest person in a full house I’m sleeping in my vicar mum’s aptly named religious room*. 3 pictures of Christ watching over me.

*today & every day, very grateful to be a part of this very full house 💜 pic.twitter.com/DPrRAn4AGH

@rhodri it's a bit early but I've just got home for Christmas. Gold star for my wee maw who has put this on my bed. (I'll be 31 next week) #DuvetKnowItsChristmas #beddinggoals pic.twitter.com/y3gc3RvDsF

A few days early, but settled in at my dads for Christmas celebrations, usual setup in the spare room with its Mexican theme complete with Sombrero! #DuvetKnowItsChristmas pic.twitter.com/iwbC607Jk1

My first entry, had this creature dangling from the ceiling in front of my eyes. Okay, tiny but SPIDER! The rest is old friends, books and my teen bed. @rhodri Merry Christmas! #DuvetKnowItsChristmas pic.twitter.com/0876uy2mzf

For the first time in ages we'll be home on Christmas Eve so will not be able to properly join in the fabulous @rhodri experience that is #DuvetKnowItsChristmas - but here's what was by my bed at the in-laws last year. pic.twitter.com/SrJBb5HLEq

Ah yes I forgot coming home for xmas means staying in your old room where your parents have turned it into a storage room and also sleeping in questionable kids bedsheets pic.twitter.com/n3E47FLzZg

My God, but I'm on a five foot long zed bed in my brother-in-law's home office.

In early #DuvetKnowItsChristmas news from NZ, my parents will be trying to sleep in a light-filled conservatory because my sister’s 3rd bedroom is home to what my mum called bro-in-law’s “adult lego”. I think she means he built them as an adult, not, you know...

Being until a few years ago, the only single person in my family, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas is close to my heart. 2012 I slept on my cousins’ massage table in the room she used as her treatment spa.

#DuvetKnowItsChristmas One Christmas my parents’ house was especially crowded, so I slept in a tent... in the attic.

These are some of the best entrants from last year.

My Christmas sleeping quarters in my brother's motor home in front of his house (also the main booze storage area) I can hear noises outside 🤤 @rhodri #duvetknowitschristmas pic.twitter.com/cXh3bIYAvL

@Rhodri Height of sophistication this year - single airbed with monster pillow and Mickey Mouse blanket, set up between my mum's bed and the radiator #DuvetKnowItsChristmas pic.twitter.com/dGvnFVf60z

@rhodri It's a stark cupboard in the loft for me. No radiator, single bed, duvet & pillow brought from home. #duvetknowitschristmas pic.twitter.com/Wgqg77vtAR

@rhodri relegated to a single blow up bed on my own lounge floor. There are 2 double beds in this house that I paid for! How did this happen? 🤔 #duvetknowitschristmas pic.twitter.com/4STAeowUIE

This year Rhodri is trying to turn his hashtag into a cause for good, and is asking people to donate to the charity Shelter when they share their annual bedroom snaps.
