Funny Christmas cards for your grandma
Grandma humour is quiet and well aimed. She knows about the time you were sick in the car, and she has been waiting for the right moment. A funny card to her should be gentle, with a little bite: the biscuits, the opinions, the phone calls that last forty minutes. Make her laugh and she will tell everyone at the next lunch.

- funny Grandma [first name], I have decided you are the family's most reliable source of biscuits and opinions. Please keep both coming. Love always.
- funny Dear Grandma [first name], I am sending this by computer because I know you will phone me within the hour to say it arrived. I will pick up. Happy Christmas.
- funny Grandma [first name], I promise to eat whatever you put in front of me on Christmas Day. I cannot promise to enjoy the cranberry thing. Love you.
Questions people ask
What do you write in a Christmas card for a grandmother?
Keep it personal and short. Name one thing she does that you love, say thank you for something specific, and sign off warmly. Grandmothers keep these cards, so a real detail like her scones or her telephone calls means more than a polished line.
Should a card to my grandma be formal or casual?
Write it the way you talk to her. If you call her Grandma and she calls you by your full name, a slightly more careful tone suits. If you tease each other, tease. She will notice if the card does not sound like you.
Can I send a Christmas card to a grandma who is not on email?
Yes, as long as someone can open a text. You send the card as a link, so a parent, aunt or carer can open it on her phone or tablet and read it with her. You can schedule it for Christmas morning so they are together when it arrives.
