Sweet Christmas cards for your grandson

A sweet card for a grandson is one place where a few plain words from a grandparent can do a lot. Say you are proud, say you think about him, say you cannot wait for the next hug. He may not say much about it. He will certainly keep it.

Questions people ask

What do I write in a Christmas card for my grandson?

Keep it warm and personal. Mention something he did this year, say you are proud, and tell him you love him. A line about a game you play together or a day out you shared will mean more to him than any general verse.

Can I send a card to my grandson if I live far away?

Yes. You pick a card, write your words and send the link by email or text, usually to his parent. They can open it with him on Christmas morning, like an envelope, and he gets to hear from you even if you cannot be there.

How do I send a card to a grandson who is too young to use a phone?

Send it to his mum or dad. Schedule it for Christmas morning and ask them to open it with him and read the inside line out loud. Little ones love hearing a grandparent's voice, even through a parent.
