I thought they were actually israelites at a kibbutz.

It doesnt matter what the true story is or the real life guys reply.
The idea it represents is they are happy and grateful for what they have. That's what's important.
i hate this picture make it go away
I heard the guy in the picture explained the context after it became a meme. Like they were visiting their grandfather at the retirement home and they had this pitiful display in the lounge room, and their parents wanted to snap a picture. Not sure if it was really him but it makes sense.
Some gays from R*ddit tracked the guy down. He’s a doctor and that’s his wife when they were in medical school (she’s a doctor too), that’s why it looks like it’s in a hospital, it is. I don’t remember anymore context than that.
You do realize that you can be both grateful and happy for what you've got while still having ambitions, right? Being ambitious doesn't mean being in a constant state of discontent.

Poverty xmas was so much more fun, now we just buy whatever we want during the year when the idea strikes, when xmas coes it's like, I don't even need anything. Then it all just becomes about eating.
Yeah, when i was scraping by every cent in my early 20s, me and the homies gifts slapped different. Now me and my wife just buy eachother shit we dont need or really want.
I always felt bad for the young adults in the early 90's
like as soon as you graduated high school you had to immediately become a boring adult with no interests
I used to have a worse Christmas than this growing up. Single mom / only child. Drugs + shit boyfriends. When I was 16, two days before Christmas, I woke up to my mom gone, she left a note saying she wouldn't be back. Luckily a friend who was older and just got his first apartment took me in. I had to drop out of school and get a job after that.
>A Christmas Story
As a spoiled child who got basically everything he wanted, opening a bunch of toys and playing with them right there under the tree were always one of the highlights of the year. That scene where the whole family is opening presents on Christmas morning and stuff really resonates... our family ate ham instead of turkey though.
>freedom for Christmas
Ouch... hope you're doing better, Anon.
man, id be happy with some new notebooks and pencils for drawing and a madlib book for xmas. I buy myself whatever I want all year round, but to get someone to genuinely go out and find me something they think I would like is amazing. I hope all you folks have a good xmas this year. for real.
Now enough seriousness, time to go back to shitposting.
I know the backstory and that they're still together and their circumstances are better now... Anyone have similar stories of being poor and happy? For me it's my dad always making time and saving up for movie tickets and eating out afterwards. No matter what we would never miss out on movies. LOTR, Matrix, etc defined my childhood.

They're actually missionaries in some foreign country

How's your credit card debt going? You chipping away at it?

it's a whole lot easier to be grateful when you know you're about to bone under the christmas tree whenever the homosexual cameraman leaves
wtf white liberal bros we must destroy this immediately

The kicker is people asking me what I want for Christmas but I already got everything I need.
Too soon.

Come on man we have to go back. Live a boring trad life where you marry at 21 and spend the rest of your life thinking about killing your wife
True i love drinking hoppy IPA's, watching adult cartoons with the bros and collecting funkopops instead
You're describing millenial guys with fat wives to a t
