(Image courtesy of BeWater HK) Earlier this week, Hyperallergic published an [article by Jason Li](https://hyperallergic.com/hong-kongs-protesters-subvert-the-holiday-season-with-radical-christmas-cards/), a Hong Kong-based cartoonist and designer who wrote about how protesters in Hong Kong are subverting the holiday season with Christmas cards that convey their political message of freedom and democracy. In a long Twitter thread responding to Li’s article, hundreds of readers from Hong Kong have shared their favorite radical, creative Chrismas card ideas under the [#freehkxmascard](https://twitter.com/hashtag/freehkxmascard?src=hashtag%5Fclick&ref=hyperallergic.com) hashtag. The cards, rife with protest memes and slogans, were too impressive not to share.
