For years I sent out "Happy Winter" cards. This wasn't an effort to stay non-denominational, rather an "I can't get these done during the holidays" maneuver. Here's a round up of some of my traditionally styled favorites this year. May you have better luck than I in getting them out before February.

I like #6 especially. Lovely. But wait, no Thomas Kinkade cards among your favorites ;)
I like #6 and #9, though they're all great. It's so hard to find attractive, non-cheesy holiday cards!
Like them all but anything with PEACE are always my favorites.
They're nice, but I really love the letterpress holiday cards and gift tags from Bears Eat Berries http://www.etsy.com/shop/BearsEatBerries?section_id=12472560
This moose one is my favorite! http://www.etsy.com/listing/87304402/letterpress-holiday-moose-greeting-cards
They are pretty, but almost all of them are still Christmas-oriented (anything relating to "Peace" ought to conjure up images of the nativity scene)
I loooooove Nib and Tuck cards. Simply amazing. http://www.nibandtuck.com/
I do my own photographic postcards. Enough for a few lines of sentiment and good wishes + a money saver too. Also make a point of doing a few Hanukkah cards. #s 1,2,4 & 9 are good.
"Traditional?" No. Nary a MERRY CHRISTMAS in the lineup. 'Modern' might be a more apprpriate term here.
*adding* or Hanukkah either, for that matter.
Tis the season
I like a Christmas card to say "Merry Christmas" somewhere. I would also like to find a Christmas card for my mother that does not refer to "mom" but that's a topic for another day.
I like these cards. Letterpress is elegant. But I'm another who'd like to see a "Merry Christmas" or two in there. It's okay to say it. Really.
Beautiful cards, but none of them mention "Christmas".
