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

Tis the season to tell the truth…
2. If Prosecco is your mate for life

It’ll ALWAYS be there for you… As long as you have at least a tenner to spare, that is.
3. If your love for pigs in blankets is strong

We’ll ignore friends and relatives if we have to for pigs in blankets. No question.
4. If you’re the wrapping queen

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

If you’re not struggling by the end of Christmas dinner, you’re most certainly not doing it right.
7. If you’re really not feeling the Christmas spirit

Jolly Christmas indeed.
9. If you really really love Christmas

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

It’s basically a Christmas tradition in itself.

‘Isn’t this card funny, hahahaha, here’s your credit card and off you go!’
13. If you’re wishing for a white-but-not-that-white Christmas

Yeah, we still need to go out for boxing day sales.
14. If you’re not fussy about your Christmassy source of joy
