Wife chastises husband for purchasing ugly Christmas cards, husband pulls prank with the help of his friends: 'Their mantelpiece was covered in identical cards'

People can be very particular about how they like things to look around the holidays. From Christmas trees to stockings to decorations, many suburban families enjoy going overboard because, well, who is going to stop them from being festive? If Halloween is the one time of year people can dress however they want without receiving any judgment, then Christmas is the one time of year that the elders of the family can be as demanding and over-the-top as they want and no one can say anything about it.

Here, we have a very particular lady who rejected her husband's choice of Christmas cards. He ended up saving them and immediately hatched a plan for the following year. Now, he enlisted his friends to play a prank on his wife, in which they all sent the couple Christmas cards using that specific, so-called "ugly" style. The best part was that the wife didn't even recognize the style at first and even commented how she liked the look of it. Eventually, however, when she had tons of identical Christmas cards on their mantelpiece, she figured out that something was up.
