Fuming mum forced to reorder 250 Christmas cards after son's prank backfires

As the classic Christmas song goes, it's the most wonderful time of the year.

But one fed-up mum faced an administrative nightmare this year after asking her son to organise the family Christmas card.

Maybe it's just because there's something a little smug about Christmas, but his little twist on the standard Christmas card left people crying with laughter.

Unlike the standard card, filled with a harmonious photograph of a couple or happy family, this card featured a unique warning.

Andrew Sottosanti uploaded a TikTok sharing a picture of the card - and it's gone viral with 500,00 views since being uploaded yesterday.

In the TikTok he joked: "Sorry mom for making you order another 250 Christmas cards.

"Hit me up if you want a Drew original."

In the video, he shared a Snapchat featuring the cards - which includes pictures of the family alongside a "Happy Holidays" greeting.

So far, so good - it looks like a completely appropriate card to send to all your relatives.

But the back of the card reveals the issue - and why you don't want to send it to grandma.

It says: "From our family to yours, we will kill you if you cross us. F*** around and find out. - The Sottosanti Family.

"Happy Holidays. God Bless."

The caption says: "I shouldn't have to check the back of the Christmas cards you created before I order them.

"This isn't my fault. - Mom"

People were left in stitches by the video - which has been 'liked' 93,000 times.

One viewer joked: "At least you said God bless!"

Another warned: "Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean the Sottosanti's won't square up."

A third begged: "I want one so bad, I'll even pay the stamp."

A fourth added: "Why are you apologising, this is so funny."
