Do you have a favourite Christmas theme that you enjoy seeing year after year?

I'm going to be starting on my Christmas cards earlier this year and I want to include designs that my followers enjoy seeing as inspiration.

I'd love to know YOUR favourite choices! Tell me your faves and I'll see what I can design around those themes!
