Sometimes I wonder what the future generations will think about our ways. Will they look back at our fashion and bring them back, as we have? Will they watch our movies and television series and call them classics? Or, will they look at our memes and think they’re the stupidest and most useless things they’ve ever seen?
There’s no way we can look at the past and their ways without our modern biases. So, let’s check out some of the strangest and creepiest Christmas cards you’ll ever see. Get ready to enjoy our delightful selection of vintage holiday cards.
1. Let’s start with a card that has simply no logical explanation. Just look at it, there’s literally nothing Christmassy here! By the way, I can relate so much to that random insect playing the tambourine: that is me when my friends come up with equally random plans. I might not know what the hell is going on, but I still join in.
2. This is a faithful representation of how I feel when carolers knock on my door. The best part of this card is the joyful faces of the old couple.
3. When you try to follow a makeup tutorial, and the end result looks completely different from the original, but you’re still proud of what you achieved.
4. If you have pets, you’ll probably relate to this so hard. You know how you have to take dozens of pictures before getting one where your pet is standing still? This is the vintage precursor of those photos.
5. Again… What? Nothing makes sense in this image. I mean, there’s a woman with the face of a bird, opening a casserole with some sort of half-meatball, half-human creature!
6. The strange hybrid characters keep on coming because here we have someone with a casserole head in front of a stove with the classic Victorian “compliments of the season” card style. Victorians might’ve been strict with their morals, but they had a pretty wicked sense of humor.
7. This one is kind of cute. It’s creepy for a Christmas card but still cute. Look at that dapper hat!
8. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a high index of frog crime. What were they thinking? Seriously, who sent these things?
9. There are no words to express what this illustration is causing in me. Well, there’s one maybe: nightmares.
10. This is a graphic description of me on a diet during the holidays when everybody is stuffing delicious food in my face.
11. Excuse me, sir, is this the fancy beet convention?
12. At least this card has a message that kind of explains what’s going on. But I don’t know, guys, clowns don’t get me in the Christmas spirit.
13. “Dear random person, I clearly don’t care about you that much, so here’s the most hideous Christmas card ever. Oh, and compliments of the season.”
14. Being killed by an angry polar bear isn’t my definition of a merry Christmas and definitely not the “bearly welcome” I’d like to receive.
15. This horrible snowman is exactly what people who don’t like Christmas feel during this time of the year. Bravo! This is the first card I can totally relate to.
16. Sorry, scratch that, this is actually the exact description of how I feel during the holidays. I always get a terrible cold, my bones ache, and there’s a possibility of me getting gout from all the food I end up eating.
17. This is you when your mom makes you wish a Merry Christmas to people you don’t know or don’t care about at all (Hi, aunts!).
What do you think, would you send these to your friends and family, or are they just plain creepy?
