I previously mentioned the Doctor Who Christmas cards available on the BBC Doctor Who web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now IO9 has a gallery of geeky sci-fi cards, including the gems below<\/a>:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

I am grateful to Jeff Carter for pointing out the existence of Star Wars snowflake patterns.<\/a> And the official Star Wars blog has things like a gingerbread AT-AT<\/a> and a mostly chocolate Ewok village<\/a>. The Star Trek fan<\/a> may prefer redshirt cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you prefer hard science rather than science fiction on your holiday cards, then the Hubble Space Telescope site always has a nice selection of printable cards with amazing astronomy photos on them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And presumably all geeks of every sort will enjoy hearing the National Weather Service robot singing \u201cDeck the Halls.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Now all we need are some Higgs Boson<\/a> holiday cards, and we\u2019re all set\u2026<\/p>\n
