Christmas cards that perfectly sum up a mum's festive struggle
There's only so many 'Merry' and 'Holly Jolly Christmas' you can take in one lifetime

Every year we seem to get the same Christmas cards, and sometimes it feels as though there's only so many 'Merry' and 'Holly Jolly Christmas' wishes a person can take in a lifetime.
Thankfully, as if by Christmas magic, some Christmas card creators started getting real about the festive struggle for us mums. It's not all just shiny tinsel and beautifully wrapped presents... It's overeating and answering the unbelievably hard question: 'White, red or mulled wine?'
So if you're tired of the same old yearly greetings, here are a few of the best Christmas cards for mums to give or receive - do you agree?
1. If you want to be honest

It's the wrapping truth...
5. If you don't like to waste
Because you have to compensate for the other 11 months of the year when you can't drink mulled wine. Time is of the essence, people - pass us a straw!
6. If you're a turkey lover

Don't worry, grumpy cat is here for you.
8. Or if you're feeling all the Christmas spirits

You know, Home Alone on a loop come 1st December, mulled wine in one hand and all the advent calendar chocolate in the other.
10. If you do what everyone else does
