Funny Christmas cards for your daughter

Funny cards for a daughter are best when they tease the things she is proud of, like her opinions, her storytelling and her ability to talk through a whole car trip. Keep the joke warm. She should finish reading it feeling seen and a little bit smug. If she snorts, you have it right.

3 things to write inside

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

  1. funny Merry Christmas, [first name]. Thank you for the nine hundred questions, the opinions on my outfit and the commentary on dinner. I would not change a thing. Except maybe the volume.
  2. funny Dear [first name], you have not stopped talking since February and it is the best soundtrack I have ever had. Merry Christmas to my favourite narrator.
  3. funny [first name], I have checked, and yes, it is allowed to have chocolate for breakfast on Christmas morning. I am the parent, so I made the rule. Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a Christmas card for your daughter?

Say one specific thing you love about her, then tell her you love her. Maybe how she laughs, how she stands up for her friends, or the way she sings to herself. She will notice the effort, and a few true lines beat a page of general ones.

Is it too late to send my daughter an e-card on Christmas Eve?

No. Pick a card, write your words and send the link, then it arrives straight away. Or schedule it for Christmas morning so it is the first thing she opens. Either way, you have time.

Can my daughter open the card herself?

Yes. It arrives as a link and she opens it like an envelope on a phone, tablet or computer. For younger girls it works well to open it together, with you reading the inside line out loud.
