The Guardian yesterday compared the Christmas cards sent by the leaders of the three main parties, so we thought LDV readers might appreciate seeing the festive missive despatched from Nick Clegg to those lucky people who’re on his list.
Here’s what The Times had to say about it:
…Nick Clegg’s card, drawn by his sons Antonio, 8, and Alberto, 5, is so touchy-feely and brimming with yuletide innocence that one worries it might be delivered with a free hug from the Liberal Democrat leader himself. Is the man in the red suit Uncle Vince?
“It is very sweet,” mused Mr [Ronald Bracey, a consultant clinical psychologist who specialises in media strategy]. “It’s not conveying any political messages and is just simple and naive.”

Chris Huhne’s is a pair of spherical penguins, having gone for the old “competition in the primary schools” approach. I’m not quite sure what penguins have got to do with Christmas (penguins are from the Antarctic), but hey, more original than a tree.
Is it me, or is Mrs Clegg expecting again?
One of the Apocryphal gospels says that penguins were present at Our Lord’s birth.
David Howarth’s is a giraffe putting a star on the top of a Christmas tree – using its mouth.
They don’t want their children in the media – oh no – that would be just awful – indeed…
I love that Nick is cuddling the reindeer LOL
“It is very sweet, It’s not conveying any political messages and is just simple and naive.”
There is a very obvious, cheap crack to be made here…. 🙂

There is a very obvious, cheap crack to be made here, too, given her religion.
For the benefit of all primary children Santa’s reindeer were called Cupid,Blitzen,Comet,Vixen,,Rudolph,Donner,Dancer,Prancer and Dasher but only one is in the the famous Christmas song.Yes,Christmas is for the small children..
