She made a list but wasn’t checking it twice.
A Michigan mom accidentally ordered Christmas cards emblazoned with the wrong family name, but decided to send them out anyway after seeing the “funny side” of this holiday folly.
“When they showed up in the mail, I couldn’t believe it,” Christy Beck, 47, told SWNS of the epic Yuletide blunder, which occurred last Christmas.
The parenting blogger, who hails from Mackinac Island, had reportedly posed with her husband, Ryan Beck, 44, and three triplets for a cute Xmas photo.
“The triplets were four at the time, so we had to try really hard to get pictures,” Christy said, who uploaded them to a site that customizes Christmas cards.
Things went awry after Christy neglected to spot the section on the card where users are meant to replace the sample text with their family name.
“After the stress of that I was ordering the cards last-minute and missed the small writing at the bottom,” lamented the Midwesterner.
She realized her mistake when the cards arrived with the “The Becks” mislabelled as “The Thompsons.”
“When they showed up in the mail, I couldn’t believe it,” exclaimed Christy, who said she and her husband found the incident so hilarious that they decided to mail them anyway.
They also didn’t feel like paying for a whole new batch of Xmas cards.
The perplexing stationery baffled family members. “For days after I was getting phone calls and texts like ‘Who are the Thompsons?'” recalled a bemused Christy.
She thought of repeating the gag this year to carry on the hilarious Yuletide tradition, but ultimately decided against it.
“Luckily there were no typos this year,” declared Christy.
In another ludicrous Xmas gaffe that same year, a California man accidentally printed his neighbor’s dental X-rays on 90 holiday cards.
To make matters funnier, the bozo had emblazoned the note with “Merry Christmas: The Whites,” inadvertently creating a hilarious double entendre.
