Since you are extremely busy getting everything ready for the big day, we have made it easier and have searched out some of the best sites on the web. These are user-friendly and a snap to print out.

Free Christmas Postcards

Xerox online has many Christmas cards in either a postcard format or a full card format. This is a great way to print out the entire card with your own personalized greeting inside of it. This is all free to do and they have a great selection to choose from. However, not all the designs come in full-card-mode. Just scroll down to the bottom to find the ones that are available. If you want to make wrapping paper and gift tags to accompany your card, xerox has that, too!

  • The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~ Burton Hillis
  • From home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other. ~ Emily Matthews
  • When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness. ~ Bob Hope
  • Heap on the wood, the wind is chill; But let it whistle as it will, We’ll keep our Christmas merry still. ~ Sir Walter Scott
  • A Christmas candle is a lovely thing. It makes no noise at all, but softly gives itself away, while quite unselfish, it grows small. ~ Eva K. Logue
  • I made myself a snowball, As perfect as could be, I thought I’d keep it as a pet, And let it sleep with me. I made it some pajamas, And a pillow for its head, Then last night it ran away, But first – it wet the bed! ~ Shel Silverstein

Now that we have taken the struggle and frustration out of finding that perfect card with the perfect verse, look at all the free time you will have left. Use these moments to grab yourself a hot beverage, sit back and put your feet up, all the while feeling good about keeping on budget and making something from your heart – you can even wear your pajamas, if you want.
