Creepmas Day 3: Time to Write a Few Cards...

We received the first Christmas cards of the season yesterday from his Lordships cousins in England.  As is popular over there, the cards depict the 3 wise men and usually benefit a charity.  However, state side, I have been having darker thoughts regarding holiday greetings.  Let's see what's out there:

 Here is a clever card created by an artist on etsy.  That's her husband, as a boy, sitting on Santa's lap. She added the interesting background art.

Than of course I might get the hankering to include a few monsters in my greetings

Creepmas Day 2 - Trim the Tree

No need to settle for candy canes and colored glass balls this holiday season.  Creepy ornaments are to be found everywhere.  Here is a starter set for those of you who have none:

 You can buy them here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/213164430/complete-creepy-christmas-tree?ref=market

Perhaps you just need one or two shiny additions to your tree.  Here is an alligator eyeball to stare back at you. It's a beautiful shade of holiday green.

Or are creepy monsters are more your thing?  How about this little guy?

Of course, being especially fond of The Nightmare Before Christmas, it is hard to resist Skeleton Jack.  There are so many awesome choices online.  This one is cute cause he is homemade.

Finally - we can't forget the vintage creep.

Can you believe someone is making a Krampus ornament? I did not see one of these at the German Christmas Market I attended last Friday.  Look at the kid in the bag - precious!
