I have sometimes wondered why solstice cards have not been mass
marketed. There are "Holiday Season" cards available with many
different themes but very few with this ancient and venerable one.
Maybe Hallmark doesn't think the "pagan market" is big enough.
Anyway, some Winter solstice cards are available from

There are a couple designs which are not bad. One has the
cuneiform symbol for the sun on the front and a blurb on the back
explaining the history and meaning of solstice festivals.
Inside it says "Happy Winter Solstice".
Service is quick. They sent my order priority mail.
