Funny Christmas cards for your grandpa

A funny card for Grandpa wants a dry, slow punchline, like the man himself. Think shed, car, television remote, the thing he does with the newspaper. Do not rush it. He will read it, say nothing, and then bring it up at lunch.

3 things to write inside

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

  1. funny Grandpa [first name], I measured twice and cut once because of you. Then I cut it wrong anyway. Happy Christmas.
  2. funny Dear Grandpa [first name], you told the same joke three times last year and I laughed all three. I am ready for another round.
  3. funny Grandpa [first name], I have not forgotten that you said you would leave me the shed. I have already measured it. Love always.

Questions people ask

What can I write in a card for my grandfather who has everything?

Skip the present talk and write a memory. A day you spent with him, something he taught you, a thing he says. Grandfathers who have everything are often short of being told that it mattered.

My grandpa is not good with technology. Can he still open an e-card?

If he can open a text message, yes. Send it to him directly, or to someone nearby who can open the link on his phone and hold it up. It opens like an envelope, with no password or app to download.

Is it okay to be funny in a card to my grandpa?

Usually, and he will probably like it more than a mushy one. Keep the joke warm, aim it at yourself or at something you both know, and finish with one sincere line so he can see you meant the rest.
