These hilarious Christmas cards speak to your inner Scrooge

There's no Christmas law that says Christmas cards need to spread holiday cheer.

Since 2008, comedian John Cessna has been sending questionable Christmas cards to his friends and family, inspired by his mother's suggestion to "sober up" and start sending cards for the holidays.

Cessna shared his collection of brilliant cards on Imgur for everyone's enjoyment.

Focusing on the "sober up" part of his mother's request, Cessna's staged photographs feature a bunch of alcohol and drugs, or illustrate compromising situations likely caused by irresponsible binges. Nothing says Christmas like passing out on toilets, being tied to a tree with your pants down or burying a body.

Cessna's cynical and borderline nihilistic cards are a perfect inspiration for the Scrooges and holiday-haters among us.

Be careful what you wish for, moms.
