Funny Sheep Christmas Cards, Pack of 10

About the design

In a candlelit Dales barn, the sheep choir has gathered in red and green scarves for the carol service, and the conductor is the smallest member of the flock: a very serious lamb standing on a crate, waving a holly twig. Half the choir is singing and the other half is watching the lamb. It's called Fleece Navidad, and yes, the pun came first.

The Yorkshire Dales are sheep country. Dry-stone walls climb every hillside, and the Swaledale ram, with its black face and curled horns, is the emblem of the national park. Most lambs in the Dales are born in spring rather than at Christmas, so our conductor is either very early or very precocious. Hill sheep stay out on the fells for much of the winter, and their thick fleeces keep them warmer than you'd think.

Send it to choir members, music teachers, farming friends, anyone who loves walking in the Dales, and anyone who will groan at the title and then laugh anyway. It's one of the most popular puns in the range, and it reads well from across the room on a mantelpiece.
