Christmas is one of the festivals after the New Year’s which is celebrated worldwide. It is observed on 25th December every year to remember the birthday of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God. The date and the celebration began in the 4th century during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Constantine is also known as the first Christian Emperor. While Christmas is an important festival for Christians, where everyone goes to the church to attend prayers or mass, it is not limited to Christianity alone.
Every country in the world celebrate this joyous festival and take time to exchange gifts and greeting cards with each other. Most often gifts and cards are presented together. Greeting cards allow us to keep in touch with our family and the person who receives it will think of the sender and the special moments. Christmas cards can be given to siblings, relatives, friends, customers, clients, boss, and employees. So, here are a few situations and sentences that you can use while writing the wishes on Christmas cards.
1 – Wishing your friends
While wishing a friend the wishes can be either formal or casual. It depends on the type of friendship we share with our friends. The closer the relationship is the less formal wishes can be chosen while writing the cards. You must also keep in mind that not all our friends are Christians. In such situations, you can write the wishes without the religious aspect.
- Dear ‘Name of your friend’, May this Christmas remind you of our Savior’s love and bring you a lot of happiness. Have a Merry Christmas/Have a Happy Holidays.
- Have the best Christmas ever, ‘Name of the friend’.

2 – Wishing your family
Unlike friends, wishing family members is not easy. You must be thoughtful and remember their likes, choices and more importantly, what they mean to you. Personal messages make Christmas cards more meaningful. You can think of an occasion or a particular moment between you and the card receiver and add it in your message.

3 – Wishing a friend or family member far away
If someone close is not going to celebrate Christmas with us, it would certainly hurt the family as well as the person unable to attend Christmas celebration. The above wishes are suitable but if you are missing a very close member of the family below examples may add depth to your wishes.
- Dear/Dearest/My dear ‘Name’, we are really missing you this Christmas. Please know you are in our prayers and we hope to see you soon.
- Though you are far from us this Christmas, you are always in our hearts. Enjoy your present and don’t forget to share your love. Merry Christmas.
