Good news!
The Christmas Tarot will soon be a full-fledged, 78-card tarot deck — and it should be available for a Christmas, 2011 release!
The expanded and renamed Victorian Christmas Tarot deck will be published by U.S. Games Systems, Incorporated.
If you were lucky enough to get the original Majors-only deck, keep it: it’s now out of print, which makes your copy a collectible.
If you’d like to be notified when the new version becomes available, please watch this space for news and ordering information — or click here to join my mailing list.
Merry Christmas!

A Page from the Past: An Introduction to the Original Christmas Tarot Deck
Christmas. It’s a time for reflection and contemplation, and it offers us a rare opportunity to leave the everyday world behind.
Now you can experience the magic of Christmas any day of the year, with the nostalgic Christmas Tarot. It’s a wonderful tool for divination, meditation, and inspiration — especially during the holiday season.
The twenty-two cards of the Christmas Tarot deck incorporate all of the mystery of the traditional Major Arcana, the cards that represent life’s greatest secrets.
It’s a deeply symbolic deck, filled with familiar imagery from a simpler time. Shuffle, and you’ll find your readings filled with visions of angels and cherubs, smiling children and their parents, and Santa and his elves. You’ll also discover a thought-provoking view of the Nativity, as well as a new look at the traditional House of God.
The images in the Christmas Tarot deck were carefully selected from Victorian Christmas cards. You’ll be amazed at how well the vintage illustrations correspond to classic tarot designs.
Feel free to browse this website for more information, and visit the gallery of Christmas Tarot images here.
WOW! love it!
Beautiful!
It is beautiful and perfect for the coming days. Love it. Thank you Corrine!
Interesting that you decided to snatch up the Christmas Tarot domain name with a “digital deck”, knowing that my husband and I are working on a real Christmas Tarot http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christmas-Tarot/158770923753
That wasn’t very nice…implying that her deck isn’t “real”. I have quite a few decks that only include the Major Arcana and I consider them all “real”, whether I actually read from them or not. (I really only read from one deck, usually.) And who knows…there are more then enough Christmas images/icons to do a “full” deck later if she wants to.
These cards are beautiful and I love the fact that they are “downloadable”, meaning I don’t even have to print them if I don’t want to. How green is that?! I’m a collector, after all.
Don’t worry, Janet, I became a fan of your FB page, too. I’d like to follow the process of creating a deck, as I would like to create one, too, at some point.

I see Corinne has provided a link to your deck (and some other Christmas decks) on this page.
Charming to say the least. Lots of time, money and creative effort went into the website, which I like a lot, and this charming collector deck.
To those thinking of creating something for the internet, please do not post comments about it on social networks before securing your domain name.
This Tarot deck would not be a reader deck for me, but it has a certain eye candy appeal that I like. I don’t believe this was an “over night” effort. THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US!
So beautiful! I really wanted to visit England this pst year, I can visit now meditating with these magnificent cards. Thank you.

absolutely STUNNING! Thank you so much for making these up and reading the guidebook it’s clear it took a lot of effort but I think you “hit the nail on the head” with each and every description.
Once again, THANK YOU!
I got my photos today and I think they’re beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
This is a very beautiful deck! It is amazing, as you say, how well the images of Victorian Christmas cards correspond with Tarot imagery. I am tempted myself to try and make a whole deck of Christmas tarots. Well, we’ll see how it goes… Thank you for linking to my Tarot Christmas cards! ☺
Thank you for sharing the Christmas Tarot. I’m using it now, in the Twelve Days of Christmas, and I like it very much. I have also enjoyed the process of getting the cards copied, and even printing the book was a joy. It snowed heavily in Holland, where I live. Buying paper for the printer meant walking into the centre of the village and getting covered in show. Getting the cards from the copy shop in the next village by train was an adventure. There were just a few trains, because of the snow.

Such pretty images in this Christmas Tarot deck – I love it. So easy to download and I had mine printed from an on-line processing company that really did the vintage illustrations justice. Lovely!
Hi Corrine,
I just love this deck. I bought it last year, and have enjoyed every minute of using it. I am going to find some creative type to put it on card stock for me.
Blessings,
Storm
This is the most awesome Christmas Deck ever! What fun! Thank you, Corrine, for making this available! You rock, my dear!
