Late

Already a bit behind on mailing out your 2023 Christmas cards? Mailing times are a bit tricky to navigate during the holidays. And the 2023 holiday season will be no exception. Most folks will be delighted to receive funny Christmas cards regardless if it comes a few days late, but this creation by Near Modern Disaster will give them an extra giggle.

Let It Snow

We couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, snow is coming whether we like it or not. If you happen to be spending this holiday season somewhere sunny like Florida or the Caribbean or on a sailboat somewhere (lucky you) this card would be perfect. Perhaps don’t send it to friends dealing with a snow storm — they may not be your friends for long.

From My Toilet

If this sounds like something you’d say — then you’ve found your perfect funny Christmas card. As always, Near Modern Disaster has a lovely way with words — and typography. We love the funky style of the letters and the fun use of color to bring focus to the important stuff. It’s also hilarious — so there’s that.
