Quiet December Holiday Cards

Not every holiday is one you want to celebrate, and this card doesn't ask you to.

The front is a watercolor night sky, teal, turquoise, purple, magenta bleeding into dark, with a row of black evergreens along the bottom edge and small white stars above them. Nothing printed on it. No message to contradict what someone is actually feeling. Just the sky, the trees, and whatever the person sending it decides to write inside.

Someone messaged us after a year they lost a family member. December came anyway. They needed a card that didn't ask them to pretend, and this was the one that let them say what they actually meant.

There are as many ways to feel during the holidays as there are people moving through them. This one is for the December that is quiet, or heavy, or just not what anyone planned.

The set includes 24 cards at 4 x 5.5 inches, blank inside. We design and print everything in Columbus, Ohio.

Some years the only honest thing you can offer is your presence. This card carries that.
