Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Rustic Sign (Free Printable)
Easily add a little bit of rustic Christmas charm to your holiday decor and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas with this free printable sign!
I am always excited for Halloween to pass because it means I can get away with playing Christmas music all day long! If I had to choose one song as my favorite Christmas carol, it’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” I have no less than 10 versions in my iTunes Christmas playlist! I could just put those 10 versions on repeat and be a very happy girl.
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG!
There are so many versions available, but I really love the classic versions the best. My all time favorite however, is Rowlf. You know, the Muppet. Back in the late 70s (early 80s?) John Denver did a Christmas special with the Muppets and Rowlf sat at his piano and played this song. It is such a sweet moment between the character of Rowlf and John Denver. Watch this version and tell me you don’t love it too.
It’s a tradition for us to watch the entire John Denver & the Muppets Christmas special but I play this song over and over during the holidays. Unfortunately you usually can’t find the actual special anywhere, however I did happen to locate a DVD at a retro dvd store online. My kids don’t quite get it, but we still watch it!
What is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas About?
The song was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. The original version was depressing and melancholy, but Judy Garland, who was the first to sing the Christmas classic in the movie Meet Me in St. Louis, insisted that lyrics be changed to make it more pleasant. The holiday ballad was later altered further at the request of Frank Sinatra to make it the wistful song of hope we know today.
The song speaks of hope and encourages us all to make the most of the present.

Each year I create a new printable for the song and this year’s version goes along with the rustic plaid/buffalo check vibe we’ve got going.
For best results print on at least 60 lb. cardstock. Original size is 8″ x 10″ but you can set your printer to print 5″ x 7″ if you choose.
To print the Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas sign, you will need:
Color Printer – This is the one I have and use daily. I print color printables, word documents, and even photos.
60 lb. Cardstock – A good quality cardstock is important to get good quality color for your printable. You can certainly print on regular paper, but cardstock is best.

Thank you!
You are so welcome Carole! Thanks for stopping by.
love this! is there any way to change it from a pdf to a jpg so I can print it on photo paper at Sams club?
Depending on your computer program sometime you’re able to do that but I don’t offer it here.
Is there anyway to get this as an 11×14? I love it!
Hi Rachel, you could try printing it that large – it might be fine. But I’m sorry it’s only available as an 8×10.
Do you have a commercial.use license that we could buy to turn the printable into a tshirt? I would love to make it and sell them if you have a commercial license.
I don’t. I make these prints as a free gift for my readers. They are not for sale.
I absolutely love your print “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. Is there anyway I could have one that says a Cozy Christmas?
Hi Kristin,

I love this print, but everytime I try to save it it only saves the link….I am wanting to take it to get it printed at office depot. I am able to save the one that has a watermark with no problem….any suggestions?!?!
On my pc,I just click the download link, and the print pops up in a new window. They towards the bottom there are options to print or save.
So cute! Thank you for sharing it…I just hit print! 🙂
