Jennifer Aniston Angers Internet With 'Our First Pandemic' Christmas Tree Decoration

Jennifer Aniston has attracted the ire of some people on the internet for sharing a photograph of a Christmas decoration that many have considered to be in poor taste.

Aniston shared a snap of the wooden ornament, bearing the inscription 'our first pandemic 2020', to her Instagram account, but - obviously, because this is the internet - some people have been quick to accuse her of mocking the victims of the pandemic.

To be fair to the internet hotheads for once, a lot of people have died during this pandemic, and are continuing to do so, so this kind of adverse reaction could have been expected.

Maybe she's just trying to make light of a pretty bleak situation, but some folks are really angry about it.

The 51-year-old has been called 'out of touch' and 'foolish' for the stunt. One person said: "Jennifer Aniston is a damn fool for posting that ornament on her story... celebrities are ditzy af.

"Cheers to our first pandemic of 2020, where millions of people died! let's celebrate that on a Christmas ornament!"

Another person said: "Why's Jennifer Aniston talking about 'our first pandemic' like it's a baby shower?"

A third angered observer wrote: "All celebrities have done during this pandemic is show how out of touch and just f***ing oblivious they are to anything that doesn't have to do with them.

"Some people's entire family have died, but at least Aniston is showing how quirky she can be."

Aniston won't be sharing any more intimate Christmas moments with her fans, you'd have to imagine.

However, quite a few people have commented in Aniston's defence.

One such defender said: "Just saw that Jennifer Aniston is getting cancelled over an 'our first pandemic' ornament?

"My mom's co-worker gave her one for Christmas everyone here needs to calm down lol."

Another Aniston supporter said: "I didn't see it this way. Maybe it's just a souvenir for the future? Idk if she meant to celebrate."

A third commented: "Jennifer Aniston has been warning everyone about Covid since the beginning, telling everyone to wear masks and to be careful. Go see her Instagram.

"But because of a f***ing ornament y'all are trying to bring her down? Stop trying to cancel the good persons and get your facts right."

Let's all just get on with our lives, shall we?
