With the Christmas season rapidly approaching I was curious if any Cornish language Christmas cards are available. In Wales the card shops, both national and local, are full with greetings cards in Welsh. I would love to send Cornish xmas cards this year. Any suggestions? icon_confused

Thanks for the help. It'll probably be best to make my own. I wasn't keen on the pro-Cornish cards provided in the link by David. I'm after normal cards but with Cornish instead of English sayings and messages. Thanks again.

One advantage, of course, with making your own is that you can use the orthography of your choice, and you miss all the disappointment of opening the box and finding it's Brand X (instead of what you favour!)

How would you write "merry Christmas and a happy new year"?

Nadelek Lowen is merry Christmas, right?

Imagine someone opening the card and seeing Nadelek Lowen, instead of Nadelik Lowen , or even Nadelack Looan !
That would really spoil their Christmas, they could probably sue.
