Christmas season truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Spreading holiday cheer to family members and friends is what the true spirit of Christmas is really about.

Times are changing, and singing a Christmas carol or two at each house just isn’t as common or appreciated as much. People stay on the go and just don’t have the time, and the ones who do go caroling tend to stand silently on porches waiting for the door to open, but it never does. Bah Humbug!

Well, let me help with making these rough times into better times. Let’s spread the Christmas spirit with funny Christmas cards. Everyone remembers a good laugh. Take a couple moments to make your own holiday greetings or Christmas card, (your computer is handy for that) or buy a blank Christmas card from the store and write one or two of these funny Christmas sayings.

No need to be ordinary, when you can be unique. A Christmas present is great, but a handwritten card that says “Merry Christmas” with some of these funny quotes and “Happy New Year!” will be sure to deliver a warm feeling to their heart during Christmas time. 

I have put together a few different categories to help you choose the perfect sayings for your cards. Just use this cheat sheet, fill out your cards for all the special people on your Christmas card list, and drop them at the post office.

Let the mail carriers be your magic wand to deliver these funny messages full of Christmas cheer and chuckles!
