One year, when the holidays were over, I grabbed this card after we took down the Christmas cards that were sent to WDVD. We would always post all the cards we got every year up on the walls of every station where I worked (and I bet they still do).
It's former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and family. I'm pretty sure this was from 2003. Preparing this post I extensively researched this one website that says Jonas was born in 2001, and he looks about 2 in this picture, right?
"Happy Holidays" is printed in metallic ink. That glare on the pic is on the photo on the card itself. It's a photo of a photo in a photo frame. I think they just dropped a family photo into a bin at Bronner's and then snapped a pic.
Let's open it up!

It reads:
May you receive unexpected blessings this holiday season that will refresh your heart, renew your hope, and rejuvenate your spirit long after the season is gone. Happy Holidays from Detroit's First Family Mayor Kwame, First Lady Carlita, Jelani, Jalil & Jonas Kilpatrick.
And it's "signed" by the boys.
I wanted to write a big, long, sarcastic post about the card, but aside from the cheesy front, it's actually kind of nice. The boys seem like they're enjoying the experience, and the sentiments expressed seem sincere.
Merry Christmas!
[Kwame Kilpatrick was elected mayor in 2001. Then he did a bunch of dumb stuff.
Um. Allegedly.]
