Funny Christmas Cards

Honestly, I can't help myself. I love funny Christmas cards. I love the humor and the smiles and the chuckles. Even the groans when a funny Christmas card is a pun worth groaning over.

So, I needed to find a great funny card to send out this year. I have had the sneaking suspicion that my family and friends are waiting to see what kind of card I'll send out each year. Seems I may have gained a reputation. That means I have to keep finding funny Christmas cards to send out.

I found some cute ones all around squirrels. Oh, yes, holiday squirrels make some funny and cute cards to send out. But, that's not all I found.

The funny retro Christmas cards I found are hilarious. There's just something about the world of the 1950's that provoke our funny bones these days. Not to mention the great sense of humor of those who write the verse on these cards. They come up with the best captions for retro pictures.

And then who can leave out Santa's reindeer? They can be greatly humorous in their own right. Of course, the card designers took advantage of that. Funny reindeer Christmas cards are worth just the viewing. But, I will end up choosing a great funny card this year. Probably just in time to get it sent out.

Decorating the Porch for Christmas

Oh, yes, Christmas is that fun time of year when we tend to decorate everything. Well, at least I do. Many of us decorate our outside world as well. Not just the lights on the house, but the porch and entryways as well.

Since I have a country porch look to both my front and back porches, I like to decorate them for the holidays as well. Christmas door mats are one of the things that always goes on my porches. They just seem to be ideal to welcome my guests, whether they be family or friends.

But I also love to little accents to my country porch look. Of course for me, they tend to be unique or unusual. Yes, the sweet white lights or bright Christmas lights are part of the tradition, but a little snowman, charming wreath or holiday bird house also make a great effect.

As far as I'm concerned, Christmas time is one of the great holidays we all celebrate. No matter what country or what part of the world we live in. And there is plenty of Christmas stuff out there to decorate with. It's a matter of our own taste and personal preferences.

For me, the Christmas door mats that I use are a big part of my decorating. But adding in the extras that make my porch look festive are a tradition for me. And I never seem to have enough of those extras. Every year I search out a few more fun ones to add to my collection.

No matter what theme or style you like to use in your holiday decorating, there is a new option for you to enjoy. Whether it's a great new Christmas door mat, or a few new unique holiday decorations, your porch and outdoor areas can be part of the festive look.
