Present Stressed Out Souls a Laugh Via Humorous Yuletide Cards
Christmas often is a stressful time. People have to run around town fighting traffic and crowds while hunting down Christmas gifts for people on their list. Expenses for these presents can be high. Insert extra time for shopping, and already busy schedules become more and more hectic. All that stress, though, can be relieved when they receive funny Christmas cards in the mail.
A personalized, humorous card sent by you could bring a smile to the face of a family member or friend!
That your sense of humor might not be universal is an important consideration when selecting which, or even if a funny card should be sent. You definitely want to keep this in mind when choosing whether or not to send them a funny card. If you think you understand their sense of humor (or know them well enough they will forgive you if you botch it) then, by all means, start hunting for some funny cards.
There are several types of funny holiday cards. They usually revolve around the following themes:
- Animals
- Santa
- Kids
With Santa themes, you’ll often find things like Santa getting caught while being naughty. Several cards feature Santa getting pulled over for speeding. Another reoccurring theme arises when cards picture a slightly selfish Santa who hopes to retain ownership of special presents. The portly man’s stomach, too, is a target of many jabs from Ms. Claus.
Cards about children in most situations generate a win-win situation. You’ll often find funny quotes or bits of letters kids have written to Santa asking for something unreasonable. A particularly popular funny cartoon shows Santa eating cookies next to an empty milk glass while reading the following letter, “Dear Santa, If you put a bike under the Christmas tree I’ll give you the anecdote for the poison I put in the milk. Love, Timmy.”
Potential cards to animal lovers might include dressing and photographing your animal as if it were Santa, a present, or even as a reindeer.
If the card is being sent to an individual with a sense of humor and a strong liking for a public figure such as Barbara Streisand or Kobe Bryant, a characterized representation of that public person with a gentle jab of humor might be appropriate.
Whether you choose to create your own card or buy funny Christmas cards from the store, such a card can brighten someone’s stressful holiday season.
