Cowboy Christmas Cards

Here’s something a little different: Western-themed Christmas cards.

You won’t see them around much, they are pretty cool. They show scenes of winter that don’t include snow, which to some is a pretty radical idea. And, of course, they showcase the cowboy motif.

These types of Christmas cards sport

• Cacti,
• Cattle,
• Horse shoes,
• Pueblos,

and sometimes some Southwestern Native American themes. Of course, there are also the cowboys. Maybe they’re sitting around a fire, trying to keep warm while sharing some Christmas joy. Or maybe there will be a solitary cowboy sitting atop his horse on a lonely bluff with a star shining brightly above.

These types of Christmas cards are uniquely American and celebrate the western and southwestern lifestyle.

And they are a little different, since Christmas tends to be Euro-centric with images of snow covered evergreens. But, despite their unusual-ness, they still impart the spirit of Christmas.
