A Medieval Feast

Here at the Annagrammatica Product Development Center, we love a good laugh… or, we’re not picky, we’ll take a not-so-great laugh, if we’ve had a bad day… which almost NEVER happens at the Annagrammatica Product Development Center, because someone usually has a great idea for a funny new card.

For the “Medieval Christmas” card above, we started with the stunning medieval artwork. The colors! The clothes! The pomp and circumstance! The POPE, for Pete’s sake!

But as gorgeous as the image is, it struck us as sort of a Middle Ages political cartoon, fashioned by a satirically minded peasant who was lucky to have chicken for supper now and then. So we made fun of it (the image)… but we didn’t make fun of Christmas. We take Christmas VERY seriously. 2 packs of 10 cards, $20 through December 8

We’ve also redesigned the popular “Tomte” card, which explains a lot about how Santa Claus became “a right jolly old elf.”

All our fabulous Christmas and Solstice cards — 15 styles — will be sold as 2 for the price of 1, through December 8. After that, they’ll be regular-price: $20 for a pack of 10 cards with envelopes.

Or you might fall in love with our offbeat “Non-Christmas Card” instead.

It’s good karma to say ‘thanks’ in style… with an Annagrammatica Thank-You Card

Well-mannered gift recipients say “thanks” with a card; it’s traditional. It’s appreciated. It’s good karma. You can use many of our thank-you cards as “friendship cards” to send any time. (The card below will show you what we mean.) Some are funny, some are poignant, all are sincere….

Thank-you card: "I am grateful for asparagus"

Grateful for Asparagus,” like ALL our cards, is printed on 100-percent recycled PCF (processed chlorine-free) cover stock.

And, like all our cards, it’s on sale at 2-for-the-price-of-1 through Tuesday, December 8 (that’s only two days from today, Sunday). Regular price is $2.25 each, $20 for a pack of 10 with envelopes.

…and a Final Reminder

Don’t go outside today

It’s way cold. Shop at Annagrammatica.com instead.
