Now that it's over...

...and everyone who is going to see these has (hopefully) received them in the mail, I'll share with you my very epic Christmas cards from this year and last.

Last year was the first year I decided to utilize my Photoshop skills and order some custom cards. I drew some inspiration from JibJab and some other holiday sites to create these folded cards:

And for this year, obviously, the bar was set pretty high. I debated doing some sort of Ozzie-in-a-manger-a-la-baby-Jesus type concept, but quickly realized our (few) devout friends may be offended by an oh-so-casual poke at the religion responsible for the holiday that spawned Santa Claus and Black Friday. But, since we're on the topic, here were the first drafts at those cards that never made it to immaculate conception fruition:

...but as I said, these may be offensive. I don't really understand offending anyone, so I tried to err on the side of caution, and poked fun at the jolly old fat man instead. By depicting him as Matty. A drunk Matty. Pretty awesome.

So, I guess the moral of the story is, if you're looking for really obnoxious/self-indulgent Christmas cards, perhaps hit me up next fall. I seem to have my work cut out for me to top these.
