Kinda cute and sweet, but too much sweetness causes tooth decay. Not a fan of Christmas seasoned products anyways. I prefer to spend my money on glühwein with family and friends instead of kitsch products. The dark colours are fitting to chocolate and ginger bread, but I would have done them in a more classical white, red, green colour theme.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

I like 'em. It looks like a Natalia Silva deck, and I've typically enjoyed her designs. If only I could buy her designs again, like in the good ol' days. But, until she fulfills the KS projects she never completed, and finds a way to earn back our trust, I'll sadly have to go without.

Yeah, it would be nice to grab these. I agree that red/white/green color schemes would be more festive, but then these would look even more like a Natalia Silva deck, and these *definitely* don't want to look like a Natalia Silva deck. Nobody would want to have their project confused with a Natalia Silva project. Especially a first time project creator... from Hong Kong....

It's probably just coincidence, right?

I'm probably just jumping at shadows.

Although, Natalia, if you're reading this... please fulfill your older projects! Please! And, then, maybe we can give you some suggestions for how to earn your way back into our trust. Cosmo Solano did it. So can you. But, it starts with fulfilling your outstanding projects.

Not that you're reading this. But, if you were.

Oooooh, I never thought about that... mmh...

I can't confirm or dismiss this though. It is hard for me to recognize a style from Natalia though, I honestly feel that she has a pretty generic style not really something with a destinct hand writting or personal style, I never understood why she was praised that high by some back in the days. Her work is solid aka average good but not one inch more for me. But different strokes for different folks, maybe there is something that I just don't see. :)

I really don’t get the black background on this deck. Takes away from the Christmas theme IMO.

I understand the Christmas->snow->white connection, but I also think it makes sense with black. It's literally the darkest time of the year, so you see a lot of Christmas lights in the dark (gold and white on black).

It doesn't make the deck bad or anything, but IMO it does take points off.
