Allegedly Christmas Cards

The most wonderful time of the year, allegedly: a holiday card set for people who love December just enough to show up.

One word does everything. It lands at the end of the most cheerful sentence in the holiday canon and quietly refuses to commit. No argument, no explanation, no apology. Just a small honest footnote that a lot of people spend December wishing someone would finally say out loud.

It found an unexpected audience in lawyers and law students, which makes sense once you hear it. "Allegedly" reads differently depending on who you are. For some it is dry humor. For others it is professional reflex. For most it is the sound of someone who loves the people around them and is still not entirely sold on the season.

Set of 24 cards, 4 x 5.5 inches, blank inside. Red and green type on white, nothing extra. The straight face is what makes the last word land.

The relief is not in the humor. It is in handing someone a card that says exactly what you meant, without having to explain yourself.
