Tis the season to eat everything in sight and blame it on festive spirit. Have a brilliant Christmas!

Wishing you a Christmas with no family arguments, no burnt sprouts, and no one suggesting a walk in the rain. Basically, a miracle.

Writing Tips

Know your audience

A joke that works for your best mate might not land with Great Aunt Margaret. Keep it cheeky rather than crude, and everyone will enjoy it.

Add a warm line at the end

The best funny cards close with something genuine like "But seriously, have a wonderful Christmas." It rounds off the joke and shows you actually care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to send a funny Christmas card to everyone?
For close friends and family who share your sense of humour, absolutely. For more formal relationships, like a boss or elderly relative, consider toning it down or pairing the joke with a sincere wish.
What topics should I avoid in a funny Christmas card?
Steer clear of anything mean-spirited, political, or likely to cause offence. The best Christmas humour pokes fun at the shared absurdity of the season rather than targeting individuals.
