The 'Ho Girl' Christmas card by Near Modern Disaster is a hilarious riff on the 'Hey Girl' meme starring Ryan Gosling.

Wouldn't it be nice to wake up Christmas morning to find Ryan Gosling under your tree? Unfortunately, no matter how [naughty or nice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naughty-or-nice-video) you've been this year, I don't think Santa is going to deliver on that gift. This Christmas card -- featuring an illustration of Gosling's chiseled cheek bones and baby blues -- is the next best thing.

Ryan Gosling is the gift that keeps on giving. If you're feeling generous this year, you can [gift this card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-card-greetings) to one of your friends -- because, let's face it, I don't think anyone on planet Earth would kick Gosling outta bed.
