Christmas Quotes About God

The reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of Christ. It often gets lost in the commercialism and rush of the rush of the season. A homemade Christmas card lets you tailor your holiday message to the season; to celebrate in your own way, the reason for the season. Add a lovely quote and touch a heart that may have lost sight of the meaning of Christmas.

“This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone. “ - Taylor Caldwell

"Christmas celebrates the awesome and amazing fact that God is grander,
wiser and more mysterious than we could have ever imagined." - Dan Schaeffer

"Christmas is a gift of love wrapped in human flesh and tied securely with the strong promises of God. It is more than words can tell, for it is a matter for the heart to receive, believe and understand." - Unknown


"Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind." - Helen Steiner Rice

Christmas Quotes About Family

The holiday often finds families miles away from each other or, estranged by misunderstandings, words tossed in anger, or differences in lifestyles or beliefs. The holiday season is the perfect time to reach out, to try to build a bridge, and a homemade card with a personal message might just do the trick. Add a Christmas quote about "family" for even more meaning.

  • "The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other." - Burton Hillis
  • "Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

Christmas Quotes for Business

A homemade Christmas card is a nice touch for those that support your business too. It shows you care a little more than those pre-printed cards that cost a fortune and your business associates are sure to notice. So, keep it generic, keep it light, but add that special quote.

"Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance - each beautiful, unique and too soon gone." - Deborah Whipp

"Keep your Christmas-heart open all the year round." - Jessica Archmint

"Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." - Oren Arnold

“Remembrance, like a candle, burns brightest at Christmastime.” - - Charles Dickens

A Touch of Homeade

My most precious treasures are the things that have been handcrafted by friends and family. They are my most perfect, imperfect gifts and are in fact, the only material things that I am attached to. They are the gifts made with loving hands and generous hearts and their value cannot be measured.

A Christmas card may seem like a simple gift but when you craft them with love, they are far from simple gifts. Whether elaborately crafted or make with the simple tools of glue and glitter, the love in your heart finds its way to the paper. When a special message, selected specifically for the recipient is added, you can touch that place in a persons heart that may have grown cold or bitter. Give a little part of yourself away this season. It really is the greatest gift you have.
