Midnight Meme, Special Edition: The 12 Days Of Christimemes.

-by Noah

For the next 11 days (plus yesterday), I have chosen to celebrate the 12 Days Of Christmas with a special edition of The Midnight Meme Of The Day. What gave me this idea was the Chris Christie meme phenomenon that ensued last summer when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie closed the renowned beaches of his state to the public, ostensibly due to a state government shutdown that he petulantly ordered when he failed to put a state budget agreement together with the state's legislature, only because his hideous personality got in the way. To add to the absurdity, he closed New Jersey's state beaches just in time for the July 4th weekend. Classy. Christie even denied reports that he was at the beach... until the photos showed up.

Christie closed the state beaches alright. The beaches were closed to everyone but him and his family. There he was on the holiday weekend, on the beach, sunning himself in his folding lawn chair, caught by a news photographer in a helicopter. His family had come along for the ride, playing the obnoxious family that every neighborhood dreads. The next thing we knew, Christie, usually in his chair, was appearing in memes all over the internet.

Our first installment finds Christie on another beach, memed for eternity.
