To any of my friends or family reading this: I, of course, save YOUR cards. I just throw out other people's cards. Not, uh, yours. Ahem.
But sometimes — SOMETIMES! — a Christmas card shows up that makes you go, "Well...that was different!" Here are 16 cards that did exactly that for reasons good, bad, or in-between:
1.First, there's this card that looks like every other card...until you notice the "Trump 2024":
Alright then!
2.Remember that beyond gross horror film series The Human Centipede 1, 2, and 3? Well, whoever sent this card did...and may God have mercy on their soul:
3.This card took the opportunity to tell their neighbor to open a window when "doing weed" (even though the neighbor says they don't smoke, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ):
4.This Christmas card showed up at someone's house with — checks notes — directions to a hidden bag of money:
It reads: "The money is in a brown paper bag under the mailbox on State Street. When you get it, text me on the disposable cell phone, throw it away and head to the airport. We’re so close. Don’t screw it up.”
5.And this card from a Granny came with the announcement "I'm not doing Xmas eve this year! Did it for 33 years."
6.This card came with a refreshing lack of holiday cheer:
7.And this handmade holiday card a guy made for his buddy is, well, it's, uh...see for yourself:
8.This super charming card from an Australian has the "American" version on the left and the "Australian" translation on the right:

It reads:
Dear friend,
“I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family. Here in Australia, Christmas is commonly celebrated with a barbecue feast and cans of alcoholic beverages. You always end up eating too much food and everyone likes a good sleep after over eating. Thank you for being a genuine friend. I consider you to be amazing and fun.

9.This card from young Jeremy doesn't sugarcoat things:
"How you doing? I'm terrible. Hope to see you soon. Love, Jeremy"
10.And this one from a grumpy 10-year-old is even more no holds barred:
"I wish I could say die in a hole but it's Christmas so Merry Christmas." 😂
11.This card actually might be the perfect one for 2022:
12.And this card is just dripping with sarcasm:
