THE First Minister has unveiled his official Christmas card for 2023.
A drawing by a pupil in Glasgow has been selected as this year’s card with most being sent out as “e-cards”.
The card tells people to “have Yousaf a very merry Christmas” and features the First Minister inside a sleigh beside Santa in Pollok Park.
A post on the First Minister’s official Twitter/X account said: “First Minister @HumzaYousaf’s official Christmas card has been designed by a pupil from St Monica’s Primary in Glasgow.
“In a change from previous years, most will be sent as e-cards to reduce costs and environmental impact.”
A number of people took to social media to comment on the card with one user saying: “Well done the young artist and the school. Love it.”

“Well done to my old school,” said another while a third commented: “Excellent work.”
Last year’s card was also designed by a pupil from Glasgow and called for action on climate change.
A fourth Twitter/X user described the card as “genius” while somebody else said: “Love this.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
