Yesterday, I decided to make some Christmas story bible verse cards to use as gift tags. I thought they would be the perfect addition to small treats and gifts and serve as a great reminder to us all during the Christmas season. Though I was planning on tying them on cheese straws and cake balls for the most part, I had another idea at Target last night...candy canes!
These are SO easy, not to mention inexpensive, to carry around with you and hand to the friends you see during the day as well as the people you come in to contact with. Think about giving one to the person that takes your coffee order, your dry cleaner, manicurist, hair stylist, carpool friend, etc. The possibilities are really endless and this is a great way to remind everyone of the real reason so the season! It is often the little gestures that make the day of those around you!
While I tied most of my tags on traditionally, I did flip some of my candy canes around. When I was teaching Sunday School last week I learned that a candy cane turned over is a "J" which can remind as all of Jesus. I love all the little things I learn in teaching the littles.Below are the simple (read not perfectly spaced...not a professional here, but I sure did try)printable tags for you to download. I also uploaded a smaller version on Scribd for those that might be interested!

This is lovely! What a great idea. I'm working on some pink and green printables for Christmas, but I love the design and sentiment of this gift. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea!
I <3 this idea! Thank you for sharing. xx
Nice idea! Did you know that the candy cane is already a representation of Jesus? It was created in the 17th century to look like a shepherd's crook and symbolize the Good Shepherd Jesus Christ.
Hopsy, these are so sweet! Perfect for little Sunday School friends and teachers. I always smile when I hear the "legend of the candy cane" because when year when our rector was doing the children's sermon portion of the service he held up the candy cane upside down, and asked what letter it was. Of course, all the little cherubs shouted, "J!" He then asked, "whose name starts with J?" and one little towheaded angel piped up, "Mine does! Joe!" Needless to say, this brought the house down. And, of course, the little angel was one of my very own!
You are such a rock star. These are fantastic.
Oh we did this last week at my church! The red on our candycanes was for blood, white for sin, and the actual candy cane respresented a shepherds crook. I loved handing these out to strangers and it really did make their day!!
what a creative idea! I really love this =]
