Miley Cyrus has posted her family Christmas card – and just in time. The "Slide Away" singer took to Instagram just one day before Christmas, and she used an interesting caption.
Three snaps were posted by the 26-year-old. They showed Miley with mom Tish and dad Billy Ray. Also featured were the singer's siblings, Noah, Brandi, Trace, and Braison, although brother Christopher was absent. The family posed on an outdoor porch and were shot in black-and-white, mostly wearing jeans, leathers, and biker jackets.

"Happy Holidays from America’s most dysfunctional family ?."
Miley's words, not ours. The singer is known for her sense of humor and for keeping it real, appearing to choose both when it came to captioning her post.
A quick swipe to the right continued the rocker and black-and-white theme as the family was snapped standing on the porch, with the final photo showing the clan indoors, on sofas, and with a festive Christmas tree in the background.
The snaps (and variations of them) were also posted to Brandi and Tish's social media accounts.

2019 may well have been the year with the most upheaval for Miley. The singer tied the knot with actor Liam Hemsworth around this time last year, but it was all over after 8 months.
Now split from Liam and having finalized her divorce just in time for Christmas, Miley has already been in two relationships since her split. First came a short-lived, two-month fling with Kaitlynn Carter. Miley than moved on with Cody Simpson.
2019 also brought the release of SHE IS COMING, plus the unexpected "Slide Away" release after Miley's split from Liam. There was also that hospitalization as Miley battled tonsilitis.

Miley may be the most famous member of her family, but she isn't the only music face. Aside from dad Billy Ray, there's also Miley's little sister. Noah is 19 years old, already established as an artist, and definitely opinionated.
Earlier this year, Noah exposed some underboob as she posed in front of a urinal for an Instagram update – wild child definitely sums this rising star up, although Noah equally proves poignant as she shares her mental health struggles via her lyrics and Instagram posts.

Brandi is Miley's older sister. The DJ and fashion editor is lower-profile compared to her sister, but she's a celeb nonetheless.
Brandi's podcast with Wells Adams saw her speak out on Miley's split from Liam.
"It's not my business to talk about and it's nothing anything of mine to tell. There's nothing I can really say. I just, I'm here for her, obviously, and I've been spending a lot of time with her. When she's ready to talk about it or whatever, then she will."

Miley's Life Pro Tips were here before her holiday card this year. Miley took to Instagram this week with a message for her fans.
“I’ve been trying to be super gentle on myself and even if it’s just a walk with my mama or dogs in the morning! Movement is an important ingredient to self love / care!” she wrote.
“Take time off, relax, enjoy warm meals, indulge in the sweets we usually try to stay away from but alsoooooooo KEEP MOVING!” she added, then posting:
"Today I did a light round of pilates just to release some healthy endorphins and I felt super positive and lifted right after my practice, Even if it’s for 15-20 minutes a day! Something is better than nothing!”
Dysfunctional? Perhaps. Super-fit? Definitely.
