A family-wide email from an Iowa mom is going viral because of it's attention to detail.

Some families are super organized when it comes to holiday prep, others not so much. There's a lot to consider if you're hosting the family and one Iowa mom seems to have it down to an art.

A post by writer Khalid El Khatib shows the email sent to his family from his mom in Iowa, detailing what the food/activity schedule will look like for his family's visit. All I can say is: adopt me please?


Check out the local staples: Happy Joe's pizza, a trip to Galena at Christmas, Stonecliff Winery in Dubuque.

Another thing I love about this is that she's open to suggestions from the family!


I think I just gained 15 pounds from the Christmas Day menu alone. The pictures of the email have popped up in multiple popular Instagram accounts I follow and it's garnering a lot of attention for the sweetest reasons.

And to top it off, Khalid posted a picture of himself with his mom at Christmas.


Her schedule sounds like quite the midwest Christmas! Are you hosting your family this year? Let us know what you have planned in the app chat!
