Funny Xmas cards
Picture this: an pristine winter setting with a quaint cottage, light smoke rising from the chimney. A perfectly-constructed snowman, and a red robin nestled into its shoulder, happy that Christmas is here.
HOW BORING IS THAT. And sooo not a funny Christmas card. Our cards are not like this at all. We don’t want people to open one of our cards, glance at the idyllic Christmas image they’ve seen thousands of times and then instantly forget about it. We want them to tear open the envelope and see Santa’s exposed buttocks, and laugh as he insinuates that he is your present. We want you to chuckle at our puntastic Rock jokes, at the fact that there’s nothing but hoes in your house, or a bin chicken who wants nothing more than to get trashed this Christmas. That’s memorable, and something that makes Christmas a little more funny and special. Laughter is a gift from the gods, and our number one goal is to provide a little more of it in people’s lives each Christmas. Our funny cards for Christmas are cheeky, irreverent, and sometimes a little bit lewd—everything you need to make Christmas a bit more enjoyable and downright HILARIOUS!
Some of the best funny Christmas cards in Australia
A funny Xmas card is suitable for pretty much anyone in your family or friendship circle who have a good sense of humour. That includes your dad, mum, brother, sister, or even your grandma. They could be for your best mate, your not-so-best mate, your work colleague, or someone else who would rather tear open a Christmas card that makes them chuckle. We hate blank faces. We want to see smiles on Christmas day, which is exactly what our cards aim to do. Spread some Christmas cheer!

Unique Christmas cards - bring a little cheekiness to Christmas
One of the biggest themes of our naughty Christmas cards (and our cards in general) is their mischievousness. The memes, jokes, and cultural references we choose for our cards are selected purely for their impish comedy, because being bold and brash is much funnier than being safe and straightlaced. They bring laughter and joy into your Christmas day—the tongue in cheek, irreverent kind. Whether it’s Mike Tyson wishing you a “Merry Chrithmith” or old mate telling you to get a VB up ya, our cards tap into people’s devilish side and will have everything laughing.
How did Christmas cards even start?
Christmas cards are such a strong tradition in Australia, it makes you wonder how it all started. The very first Christmas card is believed to have been sent by German doctor Michael Maier to James I of England and his son Henry Frederick (the Prince of Wales) in 1611. The card was hand-made (as you’d expect—there were no factories back then), and included a lovely message that honoured the two royals and wished to celebrate the “Birthday of the Lord.” Lovely.
As for the first Christmas card that could be purchased and sent to people, that was created by a British inventor named Sir Henry Cole in 1843. The design was by John Callcott Horsley, who created a picture of a family toasting the person who received the card, as shown below. Believe it or not, the people drinking wine in the image were considered controversial—imagine what they would have thought of Spicy Baboon’s cards!

When the idea caught on, many more Christmas cards were created and sold by different companies. But they didn’t include the traditional Xmas scenes you might expect from modern cards, instead opting for fairies, flowers, and other whimsical designs that helped to remind people of the approach of Spring, as though Christmas wasn’t really anything to be bothered about. Boo!
