This Western Massachusetts couple has come up with the most hilarious Christmas card idea that we have seen in some time.

A family friend of theirs sends a Christmas card each year that features their children and this couple faithfully recreates it.

The couple’s son, Jeromie Whalen, decided that he was going to post a photo of the card and it did not take long before it went viral.

The post, which was shared on Reddit initially, had everyone laughing, and rightfully so. The funniest part of all? This silly couple even decided that they were going to slash their prices so that they can put their “competitors” out of business. As you can see in the photo, the children are selling their hot cocoa for a mere 25 cents.

The older couple is selling theirs for 20 cents! It’s clear-cut price gouging and we will not stand for it. It’s all in good fun, though.

According to Jeromie, the other family in these photos is “essentially our family too” and he also says that “everyone looks forward to it”. That is easy enough to believe. We are already looking forward to what they come up with for next year.

The only limits are the ones that we place on ourselves and that’s what makes this Christmas card so awesome. Instead of doing the same old same, this couple has found a way to transcend the usual Christmas cards. The level of attention to detail is too much to bear.

Just wait until you have had a chance to see all of the recreations that they have come up with in the past.

It does not matter what the other family comes up with, Jeromie finds a way to perfectly recreate it. The one where Jeromie is in a child’s sled posing next to a Dear Santa chalkboard is probably our favorite, though.

There is just one thing that we have to know before we are willing to proceed. How on earth does this man keep a straight face for these pictures? We would be absolutely losing it if this was us.

His ability to keep a poker face for these photos might be more amazing than the actual recreations themselves.
