On her Dec. 27 Instagram story, Aniston shared a photo of a wooden Christmas ornament engraved with the message, “Our first pandemic 2020.” And though stories disappear after 24 hours, the actor’s post has been screenshotted and reposted numerous times online. The Friends actor did not share if the ornament was hers, but her social media followers seem to think it was. According to Business Insider, the ornament posted was a $5 custom-made design sold by an Etsy shop called Rustic Raleigh, per shop owner Brittany Sutton. However, Sutton refused to reveal whether or not Aniston was the actual buyer.
