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.
