150 of the World's Funniest and Most Delightful Christmas Cards

Karen Robert has spent the last several years tracking down the wonderful and wacky Christmas cards represented in this book—the best out of tens of thousands she has reviewed. Featuring everything from young couples in love, classic kids-'n'-dogs, and quirky workplace situations to every incarnation of Santa—fat, thin, young, old, canine—these cards will surprise you with their irrepressible creativity. Some are heartwarming, some are hilarious, some are simply strange—but every single one was actually sent out as a Christmas card. So whether you're one of the millions of people who love all things Christmas, looking for inspiration for your own holiday card, or just a desperate Scrooge on the hunt for the perfect stocking stuffer, pick up Merry Christmas from . . .for a holiday pick-me-up.

I requested that my library buy this book, then I waited anxiously for it to arrive, and now I'm extremely disappointed.

I expected original, imaginative, or at least humorous cards. I was hoping for ideas for our Christmas cards. All but a handful (maybe 6) of the cards in this book were corny, poorly done, and boring. I suppose that if you knew the people pictured it would hold more meaning.. but for a book like this, it was a huge let down. I'm really confused as to how this book was selected for publication. I think a trip to any thrift store or a search on flickr would yield more inspiration than this book does.
