Funny Donkey Christmas Cards, Pack of 10

About the design

Two donkeys in a snug Devon stable have solved the problem of where to hang the Christmas stockings. There's no fireplace and no mantelpiece, but there are four very long ears, so each donkey has a red stocking hanging from each one. They look extremely pleased with themselves. The card is called Hee-Haw-liday Cheer.

Donkeys have been part of the British Christmas story for a long time, and Devon is home to one of the country's best-known donkey sanctuaries. Those long ears aren't just for stockings. They help donkeys hear over long distances and lose heat in the hot, dry places their ancestors came from. That same desert ancestry is why donkeys need a good shelter in a British winter: their coats aren't as waterproof as a horse's, so a dry stable full of straw, like this one, is exactly what they want.

It's a warm, funny card for donkey lovers, families with children who've just been in the school nativity, and anyone who has ever adopted a donkey as a Christmas present. It pairs well with the sheep choir for a farmyard theme.
