Christmas Cards On Wheels

It's Christmas time and that means it's time for Swedish people to do something really cool. Over half a century has passed since famed illustrator Jenny Nyström's Christmas cards were handed out by the Swedish Post and swept across the countryside essentially bringing Christmas to Sweden.
This year, the Swedish Post has launched a website that lets you take a live virtual tour of a barn inspired by Nyström's original cards and then create your own Christmas card that you can send to friends and family. Once you pick your favorite shot, the Post will create the custom card and drop it in the mail. If there's a better way to say Happy Holidays than joyful Swedish pigs mingling around a grand piano I certainly haven't heard of it.
