The Holderness family became an Internet sensation after replacing the plain Christmas family card with an innovative family rapping video, where they are all wearing matching holiday jammies.

They decided to send their festive card video to the whole world and posted it on YouTube for everyone to see, gathering almost 700,000 views in a few days.

The family of four performs in pajamas with family member labels, and addresses the video to all their friends as an “annual newsletter.” They give an update for each of the Holderness member, four-year-old Penn, six-year-old Lola, their mother Kim and father Penn.

Even if some of the revelations made in the video are kind of personal, like Mr. Holderness' vasectomy, the result is hilarious and shows a very interesting way of becoming a YouTube star. They also use the video to rap their way through their New Year plans, like the fact that Penn is quitting his job and is starting a new business with his wife.

Talking about embarrassing family moments, well, they don't really seem to care about that and they enjoy making fools out of themselves.
