Merry Christmas, Wishing You Lots of Laughs

Merry Christmas, Wishing You Lots of Laughs

If there is one sound that belongs in an Australian backyard at Christmas, it is a kookaburra having a laugh at exactly the wrong moment. 😂🐦🎄 “Merry Christmas, Wishing You Lots of Laughs” features a hand-drawn kookaburra holding a present, ready to deliver a proper dose of Aussie Christmas cheer without a snowflake in sight.

This one is made for bird lovers, nature nuts, proud Aussies, overseas friends, teachers, grandparents, neighbours and anyone who loves the sound of a kookaburra more than Mariah Carey by mid-December. It is warm, friendly and broad enough for almost anyone, but still has that unmistakably local Well Drawn character.

There is a little pun without needing a decoder ring: the bird brings the laughs and the message does the rest. The inside is completely blank so you can add a family update, a thank-you, a heartfelt Christmas note, a quick joke or simply sign off with love. No pre-written sentiment, no generic verse — just your words and one very amused bird.

If you are looking for a kookaburra Christmas card, Australian bird Christmas card, funny Aussie Christmas card, Australiana greeting card, this one brings together wildlife, humour and a relaxed local Christmas feel without turning into another generic red-and-green card.

Laughing all the way ✨

Well Drawn cards are for people who would rather send a smile than something stiff and overly serious. Every design begins as an original hand-drawn illustration by Kristian Terry in Yarraville, Melbourne. The sketchy lines, warm characters and playful lettering are deliberately human. Nothing is trying to look factory-perfect; the charm is in the little quirks, the hand-drawn texture and the joke that feels like it came from an actual person.

The artwork is printed on premium 300gsm C grain watercolour paper. It has a satisfying weight in your hand and a subtle texture that suits the illustrated style beautifully. That means the finished card feels like a proper little object rather than a thin piece of promotional stock. A brown kraft envelope is included, so once you have written your message it is ready to post, hand over with a gift or quietly leave on a desk before the office closes for Christmas.

Each card is A6 when folded, approximately 14cm high by 10.5cm wide. It is easy to post and compact enough to sit nicely with a present, but there is still plenty of writing space inside. Because it is blank internally, you are not stuck with someone else’s idea of the perfect Christmas wording. Write three words or three paragraphs. Add an in-joke, a family update, a bit of gratitude, a recipe for pavlova or a warning about Uncle Steve’s karaoke. Your message gets to sound like you. 💌

Properly Melbourne-made 🎄

Well Drawn has been creating greeting cards for more than a decade and has collected 2,000+ five-star reviews along the way. Customers come back for cards that are funny without feeling disposable, colourful without being overworked and personal enough to stand out in a stack of mass-produced greetings. This kookaburra design is especially good for an Australian audience because it celebrates the sort of Christmas many of us actually know: warm weather, native birds, noisy backyards, family chaos and plenty of laughter.

It also makes a useful all-rounder for your card drawer. The message works for friends, family, neighbours, teachers, colleagues and anyone who deserves a laugh. Buy one for a particular person or keep one in reserve for the inevitable last-minute card emergency. If you are buying several, mix it through the wider Well Drawn Christmas range and give everyone a different pun. No two mantelpieces need the same joke. 😄
