Have a little bit of fun with someone you love this holiday season with these disheartening Christmas card designs. Thanks to an innovative fold design this card cleverly looks like it's bad-mouthing you until you open it up to reveal a heart-warming inscription.

Etsy shop seller FINCH and HARE creatively designed this funny festive cards as a humorous alternative to a traditional well-wishing holiday card. The card comes with the loving inscription, "Santa has some favorites & one is you" written a stylish uppercase red and green typeface onto a plain white card. However when the card is closed it is folded in such a way that the original inscription's letters are rearranged to read "Santa hates you." When you first give this card to someone you'll love they'll assume you're being mean until they open it up to read the lovely inscription on the inside.
