What to write
Christmas messages for family and friends
Personal Christmas messages that fit on one card.
A personal Christmas message needs no big words: name something you shared this year, say what the person means to you, and wish them a good holiday. Three sentences in your own voice beat a long poem. In Germany, cards should arrive a few days before 24 December.
Short
A few words that still say a lot.
- 01
Merry Christmas. I am thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you soon.
- 02
A note in ink because you matter to me. Happy holidays and a good new year.
- 03
Wishing you quiet days, warm socks and good people around you.
- 04
Thank you for this year with you. Merry Christmas, and all my love for the next.
- 05
May the new year bring you more reasons to laugh than the last. Happy holidays.
- 06
So glad you are in my life. Merry Christmas.
- 07
Even if we see each other too rarely, I think of you often. Happy Christmas.
- 08
Here is to a new year in which we see each other more. Merry Christmas.
Warm
For friends, old and new.
- 01
This year was not always easy, but you were there when it mattered. Thank you, from the heart. I wish you a calm Christmas and a new year that is kind to you.
- 02
When I think of this year, I think of our long talks and how much we laughed. Thank you for your friendship. Merry Christmas, and let's meet again soon.
- 03
Between all the lists and plans, I just wanted to write: you matter to me. Have a lovely holiday and an easy start to the new year.
- 04
Thank you for every message, every call and every evening you simply listened. Merry Christmas and a year full of good surprises.
- 05
Some people make life a little brighter. You are one of them. Thank you for this year, and merry Christmas.
- 06
Across the miles I send you a big hug in ink. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a new year in which we see each other again.
For family
For parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and everyone who belongs.
- 01
Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I think of Christmas evenings at your house and the smell of your kitchen. Have a lovely Christmas, with all my love.
- 02
Dear Mum and Dad, thank you for everything you have given me, this year too. Merry Christmas, and see you very soon.

Even though I cannot be with you this year, I will be at the table in my thoughts. Merry Christmas to the whole family.
- 04
Dear sister, I am so glad we have each other, even when we argue. Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
- 05
Dear family, this year showed us how much we mean to each other. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a healthy new year.
- 06
A greeting from far away to all of you: I miss you and look forward to seeing you again. Merry Christmas.
When should the card arrive?
In Germany, Christmas is celebrated on the evening of 24 December, so a card should arrive a few days before. Cards abroad need more time; allow at least a week for most of Europe.
When you order, we show you the date we will post your card, taken from our capacity calendar.
How to make it personal
Name a moment
A trip, a long phone call, a dinner. One shared memory makes the card unmistakably yours.
Say what they mean to you
A simple sentence is enough. People keep cards for exactly this line.
Use their name
Start with the name you would call them by, not a formal greeting.
Send your Christmas card in ink
Choose a starter text or write your own. A real fountain pen writes it, and we post it from Hamburg.
