Merry! Humbug!

Merry! Humbug is a playful set of six postcards. It consists of five cards with Santa Claus and one with Scrooge. After all, most of us have a favorite naughty person in our lives. These two illustrations are some of my favorites. The inspirations are obvious, it’s from T’was the Night Before Christmas and A Christmas Carol. One a poem form an American writer and the other a story by a famous British writer. These two classics are so different, but both of their main characters are integral parts of today’s traditional Christmas storytelling.

 

Postcards are a casual and fun way to send somebody a quick note the old fashioned way. Many people would argue that one has to get a stamp in order to do so. Yes, that’s correct. Just pick up a book of 10 next time you walk by a post office. And unlike anything electronic, the recipient can display it on the mantle with all the other Christmas mail, and later use the card as a bookmark.

Scrooge postcard

“A merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!” cried a cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge’s nephew, who came upon him so quickly that this was the first intimation he had of his approach.

“Bah!” said Scrooge, “Humbug!”
