Here's Cards from GWB and Reagan. What no Christmas wishes?

And Palin's own channel, Fox News, apparently doesn't give Christmas cards either. It's Holiday Wishes.

Come on Right-Wing Evengelicals. The War on Christmas is really you doing to yourselves.
 
No Kwanzaa wishes? I am shocked and saddened.
 
according to wikipedia:

Official Christmas cards

"Official" Christmas cards began with Queen Victoria in the 1840s. The British royal family's cards are generally portraits reflecting significant personal events of the year. In 1953, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first official White House card. The cards usually depict White House scenes as rendered by prominent American artists. The number of recipients has snowballed over the decades, from just 2,000 in 1961 to 1.4 million in 2005.

'Secular' Christmas Cards a Long-Held, White House Tradition?
According to a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece by David Greenberg, a professor of history, journalism, and media studies at Rutgers University, White House Christmas cards have traditionally been secular and inclusive in nature, going back all the way to the 1920s when President Calvin Coolidge, a devoted Christian in his personal life, sent out cards void of specific religious references.
