What a Christmas quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

How the Christmas style shapes it

Christmas widgets use pine green, berry red, cream and a little gold. A countdown to 25 December is the classic, joined by a festive clock and a gift list.
