<p>Yesterday, November 19, I received my very first holiday card, from my wonderful friends at <a href="https://upwithpaper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Up With Paper</a> | <a href="https://uwpluxe.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UWP Luxe</a>. And with the arrival of that beauty — which will fortunately live forever (once I post it later today) in the #happymail highlight on my Instagram profile — ; the holiday card season is officially on! </p>



<p>To ensure that this year&#8217;s round of yuletide correspondence is suitably dynamic and uplifting, I&#8217;ve got a guest post from the inimitable Jason Arbuckle of <a href="https://jfalkner.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">J. Falkner</a>. He raises an ultra-important question that must be considered out the gate — and also graciously provides us paper nerds with an exclusive coupon code not to be sneezed at. Take it away, Jason!</p>

<p>Yes, suddenly it&#8217;s that time to decide … drumroll … what is your holiday vibe going to be?</p>



<p>Of course, we&#8217;re just having some merry fun with you: last thing anyone needs as the new season advances is to feel stressed!</p>



<p>But if you enjoy anticipating what&#8217;s ahead, we wanted you to be sure to see the jolly collection we have on offer here at J.Falkner Cards.</p>



<p>Whether you be a Christmas Classicist or a Holiday Maximalist, we&#8217;ve got the design for you. So, let the cavalcade begin!</p>

<p>Maxi Decor.<br>Why just one bauble, where there could be two or three or many more? For you, &#8217;tis the season to overdo it (but tastefully, of course!).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/xmas-vibe-3-794x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10020016"/></figure>



<p>Clean Classic.<br>You like to mark the season, but take a Coco Chanel approach to decoration: best to edit in order to elevate.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/xmas-vibe-4-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10020017"/></figure>



<p>Color Rich.<br>You like traditional red &; green, but you aren&#8217;t afraid to add more colors to make it modern: deep burgundy, hot pink, and apple green.</p>

<p>Tropical Punch.<br>If you&#8217;re trading pine trees for palm trees this year, there&#8217;s still every reason to celebrate. And maybe even more so (lucky you in the sunshine!).</p>

<p>Woodland Warmth.<br>Or maybe you prefer to get into hibernation mode over the holidays: put on the fire, surround yourself with friends, and share hugs all around.</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-87715" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-87715 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="87715" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-13945 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-birthday-cards tag-british-design tag-gift-wrap tag-greeting-cards tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-taab-london tag-thank-you-cards tag-thank-you-stationery tag-the-paper-chronicles tag-thomasin-arnold-baker" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/fresh-from-the-uk-meet-taab-london/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=585%2C585&;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=770%2C770&;ssl=1 770w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/250216_taab_03.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/fresh-from-the-uk-meet-taab-london/">Fresh from the UK, meet TAAB London!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2016-03-09T13:51:30+00:00">March 9, 2016</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="13945"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>

<p>Thank you so much Jason! While I am still determining my vibe, a 20% discount is quite generous, and you have clearly outdone yourself design-wise this year. Remember folks, these vibes (and relationships, and memories) will effortlessly spring back to vibrant life each time it&#8217;s pulled from its colorful envelope lodgings! </p>
