A Christmas card lives on a mantel for a month. Use the real estate. Skip the Times Roman year-in-review. Write a few sentences only this household could send.
How to write it
- If you're not religious, 'Happy holidays' or 'Wishing you a warm season' lands fine.
- Skip the photo card if you mailed one last year and the photo is what you've been mailing for five years.
- If you have one line that's specific to the recipient, a memory, a wish, write it inside the printed card.
Examples
Real examples of christmas cards by relationship. Use them as a jumping-off point — the best card is the one with at least one specific detail only you would mention.
Wishing you every quiet, well-fed, candlelit moment this season. Love you all.
Merry Christmas to your whole household. Hoping the year ahead is kind. Love from ours to yours.
Wishing you a warm and gentle close to the year. Looking forward to seeing you in the next one.
