Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Christmas card message?
A warm wish for the festive season, something personal if you know the recipient well, and a hope for a happy new year. It does not need to be long - two or three sincere lines are perfect.
When should you send Christmas cards?
Post them in the first or second week of December to ensure they arrive in good time. For international cards, send even earlier - early December at the latest.
Should you send Christmas cards to people who don't celebrate Christmas?
If in doubt, send a "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" card instead. This acknowledges the festive period without assuming the recipient celebrates Christmas specifically.
Is it OK to send an e-card instead of a physical Christmas card?
For colleagues and acquaintances, an e-card is perfectly fine. For close friends and family, a physical card carries more weight and feels more personal.
