The holiday season is the time to appreciate the best of what you love.

Well, we love books. So we like books to theme all of our gifts. That’s why we found book-based greeting cards to brighten our holiday season.

 

 

  1. Game of Thrones

This one takes place in winter so its easy to find a bunch of holiday cards, most of them humorous. Since the book and show have big fans, there are a lot of witty cards to choose from so we chose some of our favorites above.

 

 

  1. Star Wars

Technically this was a movie that became a book later on, but the books have their own fame. This book series also has a huge fan base, and therefore a plethora of greeting cards.

 

 

  1. Harry Potter

We all know this is THE holiday movie. Near Christmas, this movie plays NONSTOP on a whole handful of channels. Being one of the most modern iconic books on this list, there is merchandise everywhere. Holiday cards are very easy to find and there is not a single one that isn’t perfect.

 

 

  1. Hunger Games

This isn’t particularly a happy story, but there are enjoyable holiday cards for its fans. Though a much more limited selection then the books listed above, there are still enough to put all your friends and family ever in your favor.

 

 

  1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This is a classic holiday book and movie. Many of Dr. Seuss’ books are made into greeting cards for all times of the year. The Grinch is the iconic anti-Christmas, therefore it is only right to have some pro holiday cards to let people’s hearts grow two sizes.

 

 

  1. Wuthering Heights

This seems to be a book that everyone reads near the holidays. Readers of the book have created some great holiday cards to go along with the story. One even has a plot summary of the book on the front-SPOILERS!

 

 

  1. The Nutcracker

Since this is a holiday story, there are tons of holiday cards based on it. Nutcrackers and ballerinas are icons of the holiday. We selected some of our favorites that represent the holidays to us.

 

 

  1. Charlie Brown

The most iconic of the movies, the first one, is also one of the most iconic books in the series. The lamppost in the middle of the winter is the iconic Narnia symbol. It also happens to be a perfect holiday card image. Even for your more conservative family members, this book has some classic looking holiday cards.
