Sweet Christmas cards for your best friend

A sweet card to a best friend is rarer than it should be. You tell each other everything, but seldom this. Say thank you for staying, say you are glad you chose each other, and do not worry about sounding too soft. They will keep it.

6 things to write inside

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

  6. sweet You are the first person I tell everything to, [first name], and I never have to explain myself. That is a gift. Merry Christmas.

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.
