This Single Woman’s Response To Being Cut Out Of Her Parents’ Christmas Card Is Perfect
Christmas cards are such a big deal to some people. Lots of families send them out. But one family ran into a bit of an awkward conundrum a few years ago after their five children grew up and four got married: What should they do about the fifth daughter, Bridget? Well, they decided it would be weird to send a Christmas card with just them and one adult daughter, so they kicked Bridget out of the card.
Alone and bereft of a Christmas card to call home in 2010, Bridget responded with one of her own, and it was genius:
“Happy Holidays!” she wrote. “love, bridget. just bridget.”
The next year, Bridget showed everyone that being single doesn’t mean that one does not have a full and rewarding social life. Here she is enjoying a good old-fashioned drinking party with a bunch of stuffed animals:
