Holiday Cards

I have the time, and the inclination. It's too cold, really, to do other stuff. I really should start making my holiday cards. The only problem is they have to represent me, the person, and me, the business. They have to be fun, funky, pretty, and universally adored. And that's too tall an order.
Not to mention that I keep looking around online, you know... for inspiration? And I come up with 30,000 ideas, and 1,000,000 cards that I absolutely love love love. And I think "Well, I should just buy those cards!" but that sorta goes against the whole graphic designer sending out holiday cards as a self-promotional item sort of grain. But if I end up sorta copying someone else's cards, then that's not right either. But I see these and simply can't imagine doing a better job than that.
Or this stuff and I know that I just about suck as much as anyone could suck when compared to that.
So I guess what I'm saying is I'm stuck. I'm in the creative tar pits. And I can't get out.
