Christmas is not always a time of cheer, for many reasons for many people. Today I am thinking about those that are short on money, because, you’ve guessed it, there are – or at least were – cards particularly for those occasions. Yes, clever capitalists knew how to make money from those that don’t have any or not much. But I do understand that one would like to send good wishes rather than nothing at all.

Some people might just be a little sad, and here is a small collection of cards that do manage to convey that feeling :

Happier Blogging Service will resume shortly, do enjoy the wonderful Christmas time as much as you can!
Very thought-provoking cards! The wolf tipping his hat to Little Red Riding Hood is quite unusual.
Thank you 🤶
I wonder if the wolf is declaring a ‘New Year Resolution’ to Red that he’s not going to be eating any humans again?
A brilliant and unusual card!
Thank you 🤶
Oh no, not sure if I should laugh or cry. But it seems, there really is a card for everything
Best to laugh, I think …
Exquisite melancholy ! One of your best ever collections !
