Funny Christmas cards for your best friend

A funny card to a best friend can rely on a thousand private jokes. The holiday, the haircut, the wedding. Write the line only they will understand, add a small thank you at the end, and wait for the reply that is just a row of crying faces.

3 things to write inside

Swap in their name. Change anything that doesn’t sound like you.

  1. funny [first name], I know every embarrassing thing about you and I am holding on to it as a Christmas present. Merry Christmas, you lovely disaster.
  2. funny Dear [first name], I am writing this a week early because I will definitely forget. We both know it. We both love me anyway.
  3. funny [first name], I have decided your Christmas present is not telling anyone what you did at the last wedding. You are welcome.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a Christmas card for a best friend?

Write like you talk. Reference something only you two know, say thank you for something real, and add one sincere line before the joke returns. A best friend wants to hear your voice, not a polished message, so keep it personal and a little silly.

Is it okay to send a rude Christmas card to my best friend?

If your friendship runs on insults, a rude card is a compliment. Keep it affectionate, swear lightly, and avoid anything you would not say to their face. The sincere last line is what turns a rude card into a keeper.

Can I send a few different cards to my close friends at once?

Yes. Choose a different card and write different words for each, so every friend gets something that sounds like your friendship with them. You can schedule all of them for Christmas morning, or send them as you write them.
