Present Burdened People Witticisms Via Humorous Yuletide Greetings

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. They are spending lots of money. They have even less time on their normally busy schedules. All that stress, though, can be relieved when they receive funny Christmas cards in the mail.

Hopefully, one of those cards will be a Christmas card that YOU sent!

One of the important things to note about sending funny cards is that not everyone on your list will have the same sense of humor as you. Think of the other person and their sense of humor before electing to send a humorous card for Christmas. Only begin the selection of humorous Christmas cards if you know the intended recipient well enough to know what strikes their funny bone or if they’ll forgive you if you choose wrong.

Even if the topic is limited to Christmas cards, there are many to choose from. Subject matter of such generally focus on:

• Santa
• Animals
• Kids

It’s not uncommon in cards featuring Santa that he is the brunt of some joke. Scenes where Santa Claus is paying the price for going too fast are not uncommon. 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.

It’s hard to go wrong when using humor about children. 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. The best of all possible children, 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.

Public figures such as Barbara Streisand and Kobe Bryant are fair game for a humorous card as long as it’s done in good taste.

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.
