What To Write In A Christmas Card To Share More Merry

The wonders of Christmas don't just happen, they're created. There’s nothing better than setting up your Christmas tree full of twinkling lights and your favourite ornaments, making your favourite Christmas cookie recipe and having the smell waft through the house, and sitting down with your favourite Christmas music playing to write out messages to your loved ones.

Whether you need to write three, or seventy-three, sometimes we run short on the merry little ways to fill a card.

To help you out, we’ve created a list of tips and inspiration from Hallmark writers to help get you started and to make those cards your own.

For Friends & Family

It’s a big deal when family or friends are celebrating their first Christmas as a married couple, in a new house, with a new baby or any other exciting holiday firsts. Be sure to call it out in your personal message to them.

  • “Peace and joy to you and yours this Christmas season.”
  • “Wishing you a very merry Christmas and the chance to do all that you love in the new year!”
