Funny Christmas cards for your cousin

Funny cards for your cousin should lean on the shared past. The terrible holiday, the family wedding, the aunty who still brings it up. A line only the two of you get is worth ten general jokes.

3 things to write inside

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

  1. funny [first name], if anyone at lunch asks about the thing we both know about, I have no idea what they mean. Merry Christmas.
  2. funny Dear [first name], let's agree on a plan to sit together on Christmas Day, away from the one who talks about property. Happy Christmas.
  3. funny Merry Christmas, [first name]. Remember the holiday house with the one bed and the spider? I still do. So does the spider.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a card to your cousin?

Use a shared memory or a family joke. Cousins grew up with the same stories, so a line like 'remember the holiday house' says more than a general greeting. Add a note about catching up soon.

Is it weird to send a Christmas card to a cousin I rarely see?

Not at all. A short message at Christmas is how plenty of cousins stay in touch. Keep it light, mention something you both remember, and say you'd like to catch up. It rarely feels forced.

Can I send a different card to each of my cousins?

Yes. Choose a card for each one that fits how you know them, and write your own message inside. You can schedule all of them for Christmas morning, so nobody gets theirs late.
