After some serious down-dragging pandemic years, when I created Christmas cards with “ruff year” and “ANOTHER ruff year” (if you’re still stuck, you can have a look at them here; also here are cards with “ruff year” and “We’ve Moved!”), I decided to spread some positive vibes this holiday season with cards that say “‘Tis the Season for PAWSITIVE VIBES!”
The designs below all share this funny line from your pet (dog or cat), but the compositions vary in terms of number of photos and other elements. All cards offer a year-in-review Christmas letter on the back, but some also have New Year wishes on the front. Others say only “What a year” for a less cluttered, more elegant and minimalist design. Also, you can change the greeting “Merry Christmas!” with whatever you want, provided it fits on that line, and then I also created some pawsitive vibes cards with “Happy Holidays!” in case you like that font and all-caps look better.
I hope you’ll enjoy them.

If you’d rather prefer a card on white, here’s a companion piece, with New Year wishes instead of “What a year” and the greeting “Happy Holidays!” Year-in-review letter on the back.

Here are two versions with 3 family photos, as sometimes it’s hard to find 3 vertical ones if one doesn’t take a great many family pics.

But Rudolph has paws too, so if you don’t have a pet dog or cat but like this cute, funny message on these cards, here are two versions you may enjoy.

For some reason, I got very excited this year about square Christmas cards, but I realize that some people have gotten used to rectangular cards and prefer those, which is why I created a number of such designs as well.
Here’s a Christmas card which also doubles as a holiday moving announcement.

Here’s the above version with Rudolph, as a folded greeting card.

And here’s a rectangular holiday moving announcement card with Rudolph and “Oh deer, what a YEAR!” I played a little more with the fonts on this card, because Rudolph is so unbelievably cute to me, especially in this image where he wears a red Christmas hat and matching scarf.

The Pawsitive Vibes rectangular Christmas cards have a more minimalist, elegant feel. Here are the versions on a golden background. They both have a long year-in-review letter on the back.

Versions on white and folded greeting cards on both a white and a golden background are available as well.
Again, remember that you can personalize the “Merry Christmas” greeting on all the cards.
Here’s another design with pawsitive vibes Rudolph, in case you only have two good vertical family photos—or if you like the stylized golden Christmas tree.

And here are two other, more minimalist, square designs on white.


Finally, I have some designs with both a pet dog (or cat) and Rudolph! Here’s one such card.

These cards are SO cute! I love “oh deer, what a year!” — it can apply to so many situations.
