Oh, there’s no place for home-wrecking for the holidays.
A Georgia realtor was shocked when her Christmas cards of goodwill turned a community upside down as she inadvertently almost broke up a marriage.
“I was thinking, ‘Who doesn’t love getting a Christmas card?’” property ace Jenny Smith, 52, told “Today.”
Smith explained in a recent TikTok that, a few years ago, one simple greeting — “Merry Christmas! We are so happy to have you in our real estate family” — did not bring tidings of comfort and joy.
At that time, she purchased extra Christmas cards, preferring to err on the side of caution in case she forgot somebody within her professional sphere.
And with some leftovers, she thought that further community outreach was an appropriate solution.
“We randomly picked some people in our database that we had their address, and we sent them a Christmas card,” said Smith, who played a voicemail she received from a holiday humbug named David.
“You sent a Christmas card to my house by mistake, and now my wife is accusing me of buying a house for a hidden girlfriend because you supposedly talked to me back in June,” he said.
“You need to straighten this out before it gets very, very ugly.”
A “nervous” Smith called by the doghoused hubby, who put his wife on the phone with her, she told “Today.”
Thankfully, the stormy spouse was able to laugh about the incident post-explanation.
“She was actually very nice. They both were,” Smith shared with the show. “And I apologized. I said, ‘You know, I come from a church background, where you used to give Christmas cards to everyone at church whether you knew them or not.’”
Because of the somewhat “awkward” chat to explain that the husband had nothing to hide, Smith decided to issue her TikTok warning.
“It was just weird,” she said in the viral clip, adding, “So be careful.”
And while she once again had more than enough cards this holiday season, Smith vowed to be a little less generous with her greetings from here on out.
“Oh, no! I don’t think I will ever do that again,” she told “Today.”
