Tips for writing Christmas cards

• Add one personal line: mention a shared memory, a milestone from the year or something you look forward to.
• Keep work cards neutral: "Happy holidays" and "Season's greetings" suit colleagues and clients of any background.
• Sign with everyone's names: for family cards, list each person (and the pets, if you like).
• Write early: doing a few cards a day in late November avoids a December rush.

FAQ

What should I write in a Christmas card?

A short greeting, one personal line about the person or the year, and a warm sign-off is enough. For example: Merry Christmas! It was great to see you this summer. Wishing you a peaceful new year.

What do you write in a Christmas card to a coworker?

Keep it friendly and neutral: thank them for their help this year and wish them a relaxing holiday break and a good new year.
