Support Christian Businesses this Christmas!!

Merry Christmas friends! I simply adore the holidays. Celebrating my King Jesus' humble arrival in this world is all I think about at this time of the year. (Okay, I admit it, I've already been in Christmas mode since late September...) And since September, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the holiday season. I've never been a big fan of holiday shopping, but this year it dawned on me that holiday shopping is actually an opportunity. It's an opportunity to serve, to bless and to encourage. This year, Satisfaction Through Christ, along with some great friends, is seizing that opportunity by calling one and all to shop with Christian-owned Etsy shops and businesses!


Shop Christian Owned Etsy Shops and Small Business with this jam packed list of our favorites from Satisfaction Through Christ and Friends 

Why? Because it's an opportunity to buy gifts, decor, and treats for our friends and family, while blessing another Christian family somewhere out there. It's a new way of giving into the Kingdom of God. Since I started my own Christmas Etsy shop a few years ago, I've been passionate about "shopping small business." But this year I felt God pressing "Christian-owned shops," and, can I say, I think He's onto something brilliant? So, enjoy browsing our list of 50 Christian owned Etsy shops, and consider doing some or all of your holiday shopping with them or other God-honoring small businesses that your run across. And if you can't make purchases this year, will you spread the word? Truly, it will be a gift in itself for these shop owners! Oh, and hey, just so y'all know - none of these shops had to pay to be on this list. We went looking for them, and asked them if we could give them this little gift. 

  Imagine the gift you might bring to a fellow Christian by spreading the word about their Etsy shop? We're asking everyone we know to share this image via Facebook! (Or anywhere else you'd like to share.) Christians, will you consider shopping with Christian owned businesses first this year? What a holiday season we can have, together in Christ! Merry Christmas from Satisfaction Through Christ and Friends
