One person's trash is another person's way to commemorate any holiday.

In thinking of creative ways to save money this year, Twitter user Joe Heenan came up with a few ideas on how to get the maximum use out of his Christmas cards.

Turns out all you need to do is add a few new words, or adjust the ones that are there.

Joe's helpful examples such as "We three kings say well done on passing your driving test," "Oh deer, sorry your dad died," and "you won't get a lot of silent nights after your new baby arrives," were enough fodder for endless possibilities.

The Internet of course immediately followed suite, and the results are, oddly enough, very successful.

You can't argue that "Me Chris" certainly does the trick.

Yep, sounds good to us.

It even works backwards, because why not?

If you don't know, now you know.

Heck, will you even need to buy another card again? The answer is no, no you will not.
