Romesh Ranganathan has the sort of expression that suggests he’s already disappointed in whatever you’re about to say. I find that enormously reassuring. On Celebrity Traitors, everybody’s looking for signs of guilt, and Romesh looks like he’s waiting for the bus after a very long week.
That deadpan face deserves at least two Christmas cards. I’ve made one about the naughty list and another about a puzzle. Neither is especially kind to him. Both are meant with affection.
Romesh Ranganathan Christmas Card: Apparently, Looking Tired Is Evidence
“I’M ON THE NAUGHTY LIST. APPARENTLY, LOOKING TIRED IS EVIDENCE.”
A perfectly ordinary exhausted expression has become a full-blown investigation. Seems harsh, especially in December. Most of us look like this by Boxing Day.

Romesh Ranganathan Christmas Card: Keep the Receipt
“MERRY CHRISTMAS, ROMESH. WE GOT YOU A PUZZLE. KEEP THE RECEIPT.”
The puzzle performance was simply too tempting to ignore. Give this one to the person who insists they’re brilliant at puzzles, then spends an hour arguing with the instructions.

A Funny Christmas Card for Romesh Ranganathan Fans
For the Romesh fan who prefers a dry joke to glitter and compulsory Christmas cheer. I’d love to see him open one. I suspect the reaction would be spectacularly underwhelming.
Each card features my own original illustration. It’s a physical printed 7 × 5-inch Christmas card, professionally printed on glossy 280gsm card and supplied with a brown kraft envelope.
Each printed card costs £4. I can send it to you to write yourself, or handwrite your message inside and post it directly to the recipient. Handwriting is included in the price.
These are unofficial, independently illustrated fan cards inspired by the programme, not official merchandise.
