As the Christmas season is finally upon us, the many traditions of the season are also here as well.
Much like putting up the tree and adorning our homes with garland, wreaths, and twinkling lights, there is also sending out Christmas cards as a big holiday tradition.
Over two billion Christmas cards are sent in the U.S. annually, whereas over 500 million e-cards are sent online.
Typically, Christmas cards are staged photos of an immediate family, either in holiday gear or it’s a snapshot from the family vacation. That is a ton of people showing off their families “at their very best” with their own family and friends!
For the Seawright family, their Christmas card is an annual tradition and an opportunity for them to have some fun.
Emily, one of the daughters in the family, shared their 2017 Christmas card, with this caption:
“My family’s Christmas card this year lmao”
The card went viral almost instantly. It has over 325,000 likes and over 55,000 retweets. There are over 900 replies to the tweet, many of which are similar in vein. Everyone can’t stop laughing at it!
The Christmas card is pretty simple, but brilliant. The family holds up cards saying “Excited,” “Engaged,” “Expecting,” and the real kicker, “Emily.”
Just about everyone online can relate to Emily, especially at this time of year. It is during this seasons that it seems like you can’t log onto Facebook without seeing ten different engagement stories and five pregnancy announcements. How is it everyone times getting pregnant and engaged so perfectly around holidays?
Emily said on Twitter that a variation of another viral tweet where instead of Emily, the final card read “egg salad” is what inspired her family’s Christmas card.
Of the hundreds of people commenting back to Emily family photo, many are calling Emily their hero.
So many people have reshared the photo and captioned it “I’m Emily” or “My relationship status: Emily.”
Along with commenting on the hilarity of the tweet, they are also sharing their own photos in which they have similar single situations. It seems like this is a pretty common trend!
One user shared their own family photo, in which they were “Expecting,” “Excited,” “Engaged,” and of course, “Egg McMuffin.”
How hilarious are these Christmas cards? I wish I’d thought of this myself!
It is great to see so many people that are able to bond over how many of us feel around the holiday season.
Please SHARE this hilarious Christmas card with your friends and family on Facebook today.
