Something most 20-something women (and/or of all ages!) can relate to about the holidays is how annoying it can be when your family keeps asking you whether or not you finally started dating that cute guy at your job, - and if not there's maybe another cute guy at their job/the mall/they saw on the bus this one time who could be perfect for you! Wouldn't you like to go on a blind date while you're home!?
Well, one woman has had enough: Emily Seabright decided she was going to embrace her single girl status in her family's Christmas card this year, and the hilarious photo quickly went viral on Twitter.
In the photo, each of the members of her family is holding up a sign with a word that starts with the letter "E." Her siblings have signs that say "Engaged" or "Expecting," and their parents have a sign that says "Excited." Emily's sign simply reads "Emily," because sometimes just being yourself is an accomplishment in and of itself, amirite?
Other single people on Twitter were quick to point out how incredibly relatable Emily's tweet was by sharing their own family photos in the thread. Here are a few of the best comments.

However, other Twitter users were quick to point out that Emily's family photo may have not exactly been entirely original. Some said it had been ripped off from @kbobby_22's family photo from years ago, in which he wrote "Engineering" for his "E" word.

The original photo was reportedly also doctored (because memes) to say, "Egg salad," which Emily gave a nod to on her Twitter page, acknowledging she was paying tribute to her viral predecessor:
Lots of articles saying I came up with the idea, I never claimed this. The photo was inspired by egg salad man lol pls let that be known

Still, most users seem to agree that Emily did it best.
