What do you write in a Christmas card?
Three lines is plenty: a greeting, one personal line (a memory, some news, a thank-you), and a warm close. For example: "Merry Christmas! We loved seeing you at the lake this summer. Hugs from all four of us."
What is a good short Christmas message?
"Merry everything and happy always." "Peace, love and second helpings." "Warmest wishes from our noisy house to yours." Short works best when the card already has a photo doing the talking.
How do you sign a Christmas card from the whole family?
List everyone, oldest to youngest, and don't forget the pets: "Love, the Garcias (Ana, Luis, Mia, Leo and Biscuit)." If the kids can write, let them sign their own names; grandparents love it.
Is it OK to send a digital Christmas card?
Yes. It's the only kind that still arrives on time if you start on the 23rd, it costs nothing to mail, and a video card actually moves. Many families send paper to a few people and a link to everyone else.
Can I put these messages on a card with our photo?
Yes. Tap any message, add a family photo, and HiWith shows your family in a Christmas scene in about 10 seconds. The preview is free; the finished card without a watermark is $9.99, or $19.99 for the family Christmas pack.
