For many people, the countdown to December 25th is celebrated with an advent calendar, present shopping or decorating the tree.

This year, reality TV’s first family did away with their traditional style of Christmas card and instead left it up to the adorable next generation of North West, Penelope, Mason and Reign Disick to bring the festive cheer. The only tot missing was Saint West, who was born on December 5.

Kensington Palace made all our Christmas wishes come true by sharing our favourite ginger-haired Prince’s card. “Merry Christmas from Prince Harry! Here’s his Christmas card photo showing one of his favourite moments from 2015.” The black-and-white photo is of Harry with 95-year-old Tom Neil, the last surviving Royal Air Force pilot from the Battle of Britain took place on Harry’s 31st birthday on Sept. 15. The birthday boy gave up his seat on a spitfire plane for Tom, so that the veteran could take part in a special flypast to celebrate the Battle of Britain’s 75th anniversary.
