Those are bloody jangleplatz!
But then, I usually refer to Christmas as "Christian Usurpation of a Pagan Holiday Day" ...

Oh my god - I LOVE those cards!
I usually favor making my own Xmas cards, since I have a disdain for the whole retail-commercialization aspect of the holiday:
I will post my "Merry Little-people Xmas" card when I get home because I can't find it online right now.
Nate and I are officially celebrating Festivus this year.
How can you go wrong with a holiday that has its own Ice Cream?
(yes, it's real...and its SPECTACULAR)

I'm spacing her URL, but I think Mustardseed has a selection of seasonally-appropriate cards that she's made. They're not as funny as the ones you posted, but she's a pretty good artist/illustrator. Hopefully, she and/or Jaeger can chime in here.

Hi-larious as those are, they're still Christmas themed, and my challenge is finding "holiday" cards that don't reference ANY religion (both because I'm not Christian and my mates range from Christian to Jewish to Buddhist to Wiccan and much between), and I hate having to buy individual cards!
so now I just don't send cards. Ah, how the stress level plummets!

I'm fond of "Have a happy whatever."
Or,
"May your nondenominational/non-religious holiday be filled with environmentally safe and gender appropriate joy."
Or,
"Happy HanaChristmaKwanzaaca!"
My kids favorite,
"What did I get?"

This year, due to finances everyone will probably get a Christmas adaptation of my favorite birthday card. It'll be especially entertaining to watch certain family members try to grasp why the Dali Lama is on their Christmas card, hehehe. Anyhow, on the front of the card is the Dali Lama about to open a present, standing around him in anticipation are the monks who are giving him the gift. Inside the card - Dali Lama has opened the present and is overjoyed at the contents, all of the monks are also greatly excited at the sight! The box is empty & the Dali Lama is exclaiming: "NOTHING!!!! JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!!!!"

Wow. Thanks for calling me out, Moto! LOL
I do have some cards for sale on GCU: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/millefiori
They are *mostly* non-denominational. Though some are more so than others. And, alas, none of them are funny.
However if y'all have any ideas for anything in particular, I can custom-make cards for you. I believe GCU has a minimum order of 25 cards for a custom order.
One of the good things about GCU is that you can use any of the images you find on there and write your own inside copy and buy as many or a few as you want. Bad side is that it's POD so the pieces are a little higher.
