An official bureau for unofficial feelings Form APS-24

The Arctic Postal Service has one department nobody talks about: the Bureau of Unusual Greetings. It operates from Finnish Lapland, in the dark season, under the joint authority of an old drum and a shopping mall Santa.

The Bureau produces downloadable postcards for situations ordinary cards can't handle — when "Merry Christmas" is too little and a phone call is too much. Each one is painted, scribbled, and approved by at least one reindeer before it enters circulation.

You buy the card, the download arrives instantly, and the rest is between you, your printer, and the people on your list.

Funny LaplandNº 001

Merry Christmas. Period.

He has been decorated against his will. The greeting is sincere. The mood is not.

Funny LaplandNº 002

Reindeer Choir Practice.

The harmony is questionable. The enthusiasm is not. They have been practicing since November and it shows.

Funny LaplandNº 003

The Christmas Spirit Arrives.

The reindeer have seen something. The small figure in red is unaware. The greeting stands despite everything.

Funny LaplandNº 004

Print & send

The polar night is long. The card list is longer.

8 racks are in circulation. New issues appear when the drum feels like it — which, historically, is whenever the calendar hands it an excuse.
