Skeleton Christmas Cards

A skeleton in a Santa hat throwing the horns is either deeply wrong or exactly right, this holiday greeting card makes that two-second argument the whole point.

These are for people who love the holiday and do not need it sanitized. The skeleton is the honest one in the room, dressed for the occasion, fully in the spirit, not bothered by what anyone thinks. The festive accessories are genuine. The skull is also genuine. Neither one flinches, and somehow that makes the card warmer than most.

We have been making these long enough that they have become a classic here, not because we planned it, but because the design keeps finding the right people. Someone who puts up the tree and owns three skull things and sees no contradiction in that.

Whoever gets one of these blank 4 x 5.5 inch cards, designed and printed in Columbus, Ohio, will do a small double-take. Then something loosens.
