What to write in a Christmas card
Say one true thing about the person or the year, then wish them a good Christmas. Two lines is plenty: a card is read in ten seconds, and the specific line is the one they remember.

Three things that make a Christmas card land
- One specific line beats three general ones. Name a moment from the year if you can.
- For work, keep it about the year you shared, not their family, unless you know them well.
- Sign it the way you would say goodbye to them in person.

Questions
- What do you write in a Christmas card to family?
- Something only your family would understand, then a wish: "Merry Christmas. Save me a seat at the table" says more than a paragraph of season greetings.
- What should I write in a work Christmas card?
- Thank them for the year and wish them a restful break. Keep it short and about work: "Thank you for a good year of working together. Enjoy the time off."
- Is it Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?
- Merry Christmas if you know they celebrate it. Happy holidays or season's greetings when you are not sure, which is common for clients and coworkers in Canada.
