Christmas Card Verses

Choosing Christmas Card Verses

Since there are many Christmas card verses available, choosing the right words for your holiday greeting can sometimes seem like an impossible task. However, the job will be easier if you consider the following:

• How do you feel about the Christmas holiday? Ideally, your card should have a verse that makes a statement about your personality.
• Do you tend to procrastinate? If your cards won’t be mailed until December 24, you may want to opt for a New Year greeting instead of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
• Who is receiving your card? For example, a saying you find humorous may not be appreciated by your grandmother or your boss.
• Do the people on your holiday card list celebrate Christmas? If you’re sending cards to someone who is Jewish, a general winter greeting may be a better choice than a very religious Christian Christmas sentiment.

If you truly can’t decide what to include on the inside of your Christmas card, consider making two or three different card designs. Or, you can purchase the Christmas quote stack from Die Cuts with a View and attach each vellum sentiment to your card with brads or eyelets. When you’re making handmade greeting cards, your options are endless!
