What to Write in a Christmas Card
Christmas is a time to think about what you’re grateful for. And if you’re Christian, that means Jesus Christ.
Christmas cards are sent out annually with the intention of sending a special holiday message to family, friends, coworkers, employees, and clients. The reasons for sending cards are numerous, but they always tell someone you are thinking of them. They can be especially fun because you can send a gift or update those you have not been in contact with about your life. You may want add a photo of your family.

Funny Christmas Card Messages
- Santa was laid off this year. Good thing we have a stimulus package under the Christmas tree.
- Energy and environmental experts predict that, at current consumption rates, Santa will run out of sustainable coal for stockings by 2021. Stop being so naughty!
- I bought you a car for Christmas this year… I meant card. Oops, did I say car?
- I bought this envelope for you and they threw in the Christmas card for free.
- I would tell you, “Merry Christmas,” but I don’t think it would work out between you two.
- Did you know Santa has dyslexia? He often spells his name, “Satan.”
- Too bad we can’t show each other the same Christian love on the road and in department stores the way we do during Christmas time.
- He knows when you are sleeping … He knows when you’re awake … He knows when you’ve been bad or good … He knows how much you make … He’s the government.

- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’s resolution failure.
- What do you get when you take away all the hassle of shopping during Christmas time? A holy day. Happy holidays!

- Santa is just proof that fat dudes are the jolliest. Have a jolly Christmas!

Holiday Message Tips
- Think about your reader. Don’t write something funny if you can’t imagine that the person understanding the joke, and don’t write something Christian if the person does not believe in God or is part of a different religion.
- Use the word “Christmas” when referring to the holiday if you celebrate Christ’s birth. If you work for a company that won’t allow the word “Christmas,” use the word “holiday” instead.
- Get your cards sent at least two weeks in advance. If you are late, change the date to the next year and be the first Christmas card sender of the new year.

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year – and yet,
for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.

PearTreeGreetings from Rexburg, ID on December 07, 2009:
These are fun, terrific messages your readers can include on their holiday cards. I’ve known people who have knocked themselves out creating their own Christmas photo cards, but freeze up when they’re ready to write a personalized note in each one. Even your tips show a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing!
