Iconic animator, Monty Python alum, and one of the best darn filmmakers ever Terry Gilliam made The Christmas Card back in 1968, as part of an animated short called Storytime.
Full of Gilliam’s signature tongue-in-cheek humor and cut paper style animation, it sure puts me in some sort of holiday mood!

These delightfully awful Christmas card photos put the hohoho! back in the holidays. If you don’t like the way you look in your photo this year, take a gander at this wacky gallery and feel better about yourself.
You’d think Yoda’s amazing Force powers would allow him to correct his speech impediment, especially when getting on everyones nerves it is. This cute Shoebox Cards illustration shows why the rest of the Star Wars gang are sick of Christmas caroling with the little green Jedi Master.

One way to sell Christmas cards is to create an outlandish story about their origin. Brad McGinty III tells about his father’s failed 1955 business venture with a Japanese artist whom he shot in the face during World War II. The artist’s “misinterpreted” idea for a greeting card is now for sale at his site. Whatever you may think of the cards, the story behind them is priceless. Link -via Metafilter
Every year since 1987, Bill Gardner of Gardner Design and LogoLounge designed a unique Christmas card for Aspen Boutique. These cards are fantastic – and a work of art unto themselves.
Reuben Miller has the interview with Bill and a gallery of this and previous year’s Christmas cards: Link – Thanks Rueben!
