If you’re still on the hunt for this year’s hol­i­day cards, this set by Sane and Able, The Londoner Christmas Games, is def­i­nitely a fun and one-of-a-kind option. The story:

Not too long ago in a time before Rubik’s Cubes, the Internet and bendy buses, London held an annual Christmas Games which were open to all denizens of the fair city. The games would be a rau­cous time with streets filled with wor­thy Londoners pit­ting their wits against each other in an effort to be crowned The Londoner Games Champion in their cho­sen discipline.

To com­mem­o­rate these lost times we have cre­ated a col­lec­tion of six indi­vid­u­ally illus­trated Christmas cards, each depict­ing a dif­fer­ent tra­di­tional London sport. Although some of the sports are still played by small pock­ets of Londoners down foggy cob­bled streets, the like­li­hood of chanc­ing upon one of these games in the flesh is a rare spec­ta­cle, sadly.
