Funny Illustrations
Illustrations are a popular medium through which humor is expressed in yuletide cards. Artists are paid a handsome sum by the manufacturers of these cards to come up with quirky illustrations that express the yuletide sentiments of joy and merriment in unique and humorous ways. Most artist present common Christmas themes with a quirky twist to elicit laughter by means of the greeting cards they illustrate.

Humorous Messages
Humor is very aptly conveyed through the written and spoken word which is one of the reasons why humorous messages often compliment funny illustrations on yuletide cards. These messages vary between simple humors to rather irreverent jokes however nobody seems to be complaining and instead there is a significant buyer base for these cards. The primary aim of such forms of yuletide greetings is to bring a smile or to evoke laughter from the person on the receiving end. One of the reasons why these cards are so popular is that when greeting family members or strictly platonic friends many people choose to avoid overtly sentimental messages which is the basis for most traditional greeting cards. While cute humorous messages are extremely popular whilst greeting family members, many opt for irreverent humor whilst greeting friends.
E Cards
Such is the variation amongst humorous cards that one is likely to find cards that have slangs and profanities printed on them too. This purely reflects the everyday colloquial communication that happens amongst like minded friends. E cards are known to be particularly humorous and often irreverently so. However, this is not at all surprising for the times that we live in. Some cards even poke fun at popular yuletide tradition such as the indiscriminate drinking of wine. A perfect example of funny Christmas card quotes is a reference to both white and red wine with the line, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas but if the white runs out, I'll drink the red".
