In keeping with the character(less) features of Futura and also considering that whomever would actually use such a typeface would not normally partake of holidays, this is about as exciting as Futura gets :)

Stop Graham you're killing me, not even a sans snowflake that would fall so fast it would crash through the roof of a car? That would be the bold of course : )

The menorah is missing some candles.

Feels like a Volkswagen holiday.

Your snowman also seems to be missing a head...unless that's an emoticon snowman. :)

In the Futura future heads on snowmen are unnecessary decoration from the past; just like serifs and uneven stroke weight.

These geometric representations of binary orders (2⁰, 2¹, 2², &c.) are my Christmas present to Paul Renner.
And to everyone:
Happy Christmas! Happy New Year! I wish you all new clothes and fresh eyes, and may your lives be twice perfect.

I can do this without leaving TextEdit.

Amidst the snowflakes: ornament, Santa hat, manger, tree.

Do you mind if Sarah comes to my house tonight. Hell, my wife hasn't winked at me like that in years. One time she got something in her eye and looked like that though : )

Sure, she can come over, Michael--just don't wear anything that makes you look like a Moose :-)
