Christmas Greeting cards for Facebook

In the United States of America, politicians do Christmas cards a little differently.

Nevada politician Michele Fiore, a Republican assemblywoman, shared her family Christmas card this year.

It shows her family members, young and old, gathered around a Christmas tree in a festively decorated room.

However, something is a little off... because many of them are brandishing GUNS.

Fiore, who represents Clark Country District 4 in Las Vegas, shared the image on Facebook which has the caption: "From My Family to Yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays".

Alongside the post, she told her followers on the social network: "It's up to Americans to protect America.
