Paloma Faith breaks silence on her viral 'Christmas Holidays' tweet 15 years later as fans beg her to 'get it on a T-shirt'

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the stories of successful individuals, I find Paloma Faith’s journey to be both inspiring and relatable. Her candidness about her struggles, from working tirelessly in retail to navigating the challenges of fame and parenthood, is a testament to her authenticity and resilience.

15 years following the reemergence of her now-famous “Christmas Holidays” tweet, Paloma Faith has finally spoken up about it. Fans have been urging her to put the phrase on a t-shirt due to its ironic resurgence.

In 2009, the well-known English singer (now aged 43) used a platform known as Twitter to share a memorable message: “Kindly be aware: If I’m on holiday during Christmas, please refrain from asking me for a photo with you. My holidays conclude on January 5th.

But despite time passing, the bold statement has never gone out of style – with fans referencing the funny statement during Christmas time and branding it an ‘iconic out-of-office message’.

Earlier last week, a few days away from Christmas Eve, the Lullaby hitmaker shared a hilarious video message where she finally spilled the beans on the origins of the now-deleted tweet.  

She started by saying, “I penned this back around 2009 or 2010, shortly after my debut album came out.

After devoting 14 long years to retail work, it was that tweet I penned down, as my vacation reminded me that true relaxation eluded me due to constant requests for photos and lack of personal time.

“I’m the one who posted that joke on Twitter, and honestly, it seemed amusing at first. But let me clarify that just one margarita is enough to make me tipsy.

Initially, I sipped the margarita, found a tweet incredibly amusing, then dozed off. Upon waking up, I discovered that over 15,000 individuals had labeled me with an offensive term.

Paloma went on to say, “Looking back at the tweet I wrote earlier, I now understand how I was feeling at that moment.

Paloma ended by saying, “And for all those who often bring up this tweet during Christmases as a significant milestone in my career, here’s a wishing you a happy but somewhat blunt holiday! But don’t worry, I still love you!” She then blew a kiss to the camera.

She concluded by titling the video: “Preparing for my Christmas vacation – wink, wink! #Christmas #Twitter #Christmas2024” (implying she’s going on holiday for Christmas)

‘Ur out of office is now on they can off! Enjoy ur holidays and family’;

‘Can this be merch? I need it on a t-shirt’; ‘Iconic out of office status’;

‘Legend, say it how it is’; ‘Well said, retweet it’; ‘Love you too’; ‘Love this Paloma ❤️’;

‘Big respect famous people are human beings with feelings too have an awesome Christmas’;

In November, Paloma revealed what caused the breakdown of her marriage to husband Leyman Lahcine. 

In 2017, I exchanged vows with a talented French artist, who was 37 at the time. Over the subsequent years, we were blessed with two beautiful daughters. However, after nearly a decade of shared life, we parted ways in 2022.

During a conversation on Davina McCall’s Begin Again podcast, Paloma opened up about their separation, the reasons behind deleting dating apps, and the challenges faced as a single parent.

In their relationship, difficulties started arising when they both tried to have children, leading the doctors to identify a problem with Paloma’s partner Leyman’s fertility.

As they embarked on the journey of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), the singer expressed that she found herself accumulating feelings of frustration and bitterness, since she was aware she could conceive without medical assistance.

Paloma needed to use hormonal treatments which encourage the ovaries to become active and make the inner wall of her uterus ready for the process.

She expressed concern: “Since we began our attempts, I had conceived quickly before and thus I was worried. It’s frustrating to me that, because science is predominantly male-led, when it comes to male fertility issues (which turned out to be our case), it’s still the woman who bears the majority of the hardships.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve been riding this emotional rollercoaster with him every step of the way. The news of no breakthrough only amplified the weight on his shoulders. In a moment of despair, he exclaimed, “If there were some pill to swallow or injections to administer, why does it always have to be you bearing the brunt?

However, this is indeed the case, both then and now. He exhibited empathy towards me, but I believe that very trait strained our relationship somewhat. His perspective was that my work ethic was extraordinary, making me the breadwinner, and he felt overwhelmed by his responsibilities, expressing frustration that he couldn’t meet these expectations.
