How to Write a Christmas Card: Step-by-Step Guide

Last Christmas, I found a small box on my doorstep. No name, no branding—just a kraft paper package tied with red string. Inside? A beautiful handwritten Christmas card, a cinnamon stick, and a little note that simply said: “Wishing you warmth, wherever you are.”

It wasn’t just a card. It felt like a gift in a box. A moment of pause in the chaos. And that’s exactly what writing (and sending!) your own Christmas cards can do.

So, if you’re sitting there wondering “What do I even write in a card?”—grab your favorite pen, a cozy drink, and let’s get into it.

💌 1. Start with a Friendly Hello
You don’t need to be formal. You’re not writing to a tax office. Try:

• Hey Sarah,
  To my favorite humans,
  Merry Christmas, lovely

Tip: Using beautiful stationery greeting cards makes even a simple “hi” feel special.

✨ 2. Add Your Holiday Wish
This is where the magic begins. Keep it kind, light, and sincere:

• Wishing you a warm, sparkly, snack-filled Christmas.
  May your holidays be full of joy, love, and zero email alerts.
  I hope your tree’s as full as your heart this season.

Even one sentence can go a long way.

🎁 3. Make It Personal
This is your moment to connect. Remind them of something you shared:

• I’m still thinking about our snowy walk last year.
  Missing your terrible (but festive) dance moves.
  Christmas isn’t the same without your cookies.

These little personal notes are what turn Christmas cards into keepsakes.

🖋️ 4. Sign Off with Love
Some sweet endings:

• Big hugs and warm wishes,
  Love from all of us,
  See you under the mistletoe?

And there you go. One thoughtful message = one big smile.
