Three carol singers in their best winter coats, eyes closed, giving it absolutely everything – above a greeting that gives up halfway through. Happy Christmas and all that…

The singers are sincere. The message is not, quite. That gap is the whole joke, and it is the reason this card works on people who find most Christmas cards a bit much.

For the friend who does the season under mild protest, the relative with a dry sense of humour, or anyone who would rather be handed a wink than a snowflake. Warm underneath, deadpan on top.
