You may have already seen the article in the newspapers: “Only 44 per cent of seven to 11-year-olds across Britain who took part in a survey regarded the day as a celebration of the birth of Jesus.” Shock horror.

Even more bizarre is the fact that someone in the LOVE offices believes that Christmas is about Chavs & Scallies, Dog Turds, Tramp’s Underpants and Pies & Pasties. Such are the topics covered in the 2006 LOVE Christmas card. Previous years’ efforts have involved a Bumper Book of Fun featuring some very un-PC kid’s games, an Office Christmas Party Corporate Guidelines, and a 4ft Magic Tree air-freshener/Xmas tree.

But this year we really pushed the boat out. The first response was a client contacting us to say (and I’m paraphrasing here): “we stared at it for over an hour, before deciding it was the most inappropriate Christmas card we have ever seen.”

Tumbleweed rolled through the office.

But then we got another call from a client asking for an extra copy for a friend, and a call from an industry mag asking for the artwork so they could feature it, and another call from someone saying they loved it, and so we thought “maybe we should give them away on the blog for Christmas”. But then we thought “maybe we should sell them on the blog for, like £9.99 or something including postage and packaging and stuff”. And then there was a bit of a discussion, and a few cups of tea, and then we agreed £9.99 (inc p&p) was a pretty good price to pay for something so inappropriately brilliant.

If you’d like a copy please contact us on info@lovecreative.com, and apologies to anyone who found it inappropriate, distasteful, offensive. It really wasn’t intended to be that way.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.
