How to Sign a Christmas Card
Here are a few tips to make your Christmas card sign-off feel natural, heartfelt, and festive:
- Consider your relationship with the recipient. A card to a close friend will likely have a warmer, more personal tone than one sent to a coworker or client.
- Keep your message consistent with the card’s tone. If your card is humorous, don’t end it with a formal or overly serious sign-off.
- Include a holiday wish or sentiment. A short line of festive cheer, gratitude, or blessing makes the sign-off feel complete.
- Make it personal when possible. Adding your name(s) or a small note unique to your relationship gives your card extra heart.
- Feel free to get creative. Christmas is a time for joy, so don’t be afraid to add a little humor, rhyme, or seasonal flair.
