Funny Christmas cards for your granddaughter

Funny cards for a granddaughter are at their best when you make yourself the joke. The dance moves, the TV remote, the biscuit smuggling. She gets to feel clever and a little bit in charge. Keep it gentle, keep it cheeky, and let her read it aloud to anyone nearby.

3 things to write inside

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

  1. funny Merry Christmas, [first name]. I have been practising my dance moves for you. They are not good. Please be kind when you see them. Love from your embarrassing grandparent.
  2. funny Dear [first name], I have hidden the good chocolate where your mum will never look. I will show you after lunch. Cross your heart and say nothing. Merry Christmas.
  3. funny [first name], you are so clever that I now ask you how to work the TV. Merry Christmas, my little genius. I will pay you in biscuits.

Questions people ask

What should I write in a Christmas card for my granddaughter?

Say something warm and specific. A memory from the year, a thing she said that made you laugh, or a plan for next time you see her. Then tell her you love her. She will remember that you noticed, more than the exact words.

Is it all right to send a granddaughter's card to her parents?

Yes, and it is often the best way. Send the link to her mum or dad, schedule it for Christmas morning, and they can open it with her. She gets to hear the inside message in a familiar voice, which is half the pleasure.

Can I send one card each to several grandchildren?

You can. Pick a different card for each child, write a separate message inside, and send them one at a time. That way each grandchild gets a card about them, not the same one with a different name on it.
