Christmas and tradition go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly or medical dramas and the uncomfortable knowledge that no doctor who's ever looked after you in real life cares a fraction as much about their patients as the ones on TV do. Chilling.

And while TV might not keep always "keep it real", there are some families who are opting to bypass all of the overly-sentimental and saccharine attempts and holiness and yuletide cheer this Christmas season.

Instead, they used their holiday cards to tell a joke. Because if we're being completely honest, most of us hold on to them for a long time because we feel bad about throwing them out, not because they wow us or anything.
