Winterval cards
I was thinking after this morning's post that there's a missing market for Christmas cards - disgruntled Mail reader types who are annoyed with the lack of traditional imagery and imagine it's the fault of the ever-present evils of the PC Brigade.
The comments have arrived on the PC Dave story, and as you'll see, as predicted most of them didn't bother to read any of it before adding their 1p's worth:
So using a well-known greetings card company, I've come up with a couple of ideas - see what you think.
I'm sure others can do better than me. But it's a start.

How many of the those Mail commenters will actually go to Church this Christmas?

Christmas cards have always said "Seasons Greeting"! They have also always had non-religious imagery on them. Everyone knows that religious Christmas cards are the boring ones that get pushed to the back of the mantelpiece!
I actually really like the first card design you did. I might recreate it myself and order some if you don't mind? x

Excellent stuff.

You could make a chuffing FORTUNE with these! Quick, take the post down and start selling them outside Northcliffe House.

I'm a rampant atheist and *I* went to CofE midnight mass last Christmas!
OK, it was for then-girlf, but I *like* the songs!
More likely to celebrate Chinese new year this time though. Pissing off this year to another continent though and spending the "holiday season" with a bunch of people for whom nailing a Jew to a cross is utterly alien.
Answer me this: what would an un-Christian winter festival look like? We keep the tree, the yule log, the pigging out. I'm up for an exchange of token trinkets.
Anything else?

In this small town there's no longer a midnight service although the CoS church has always been full to the gunnels. Now I must travel 20 miles to a service or attend one at 12.30 Christmas Day. 'No minister available to take the service' is the excuse.
How to encourage Christianity.

hahaha
Excellent. If the BNP hurry, they might be able to squeeze these into their Christmas catalogue for their members. Season of goodwill and all that.

ha! Its the Christians falut for trying to usurp pagan festivals in the first place! Paganism must be wining.

Three words. Fan-f*cking-tastic. I made my own crude effort here.

Here's mine.
There's a racist Michelle Obama gag in there somewhere too, but I'm buggered if I can get it down to 40 characters or less.

I really like the Christmas tree ornament one. Like Dan I wonder how many of the commentators will be going to church next month or have any real idea about the religion they think is being insulted is actually about.
