Funny Christmas cards for your niece
A funny card for your niece should treat her as clever, because she is. Tease the thing she is obsessed with, the way she negotiates bedtime, the comeback she's been practising. Make it good enough to show her friends.

- funny Dear [first name], I'm still the fun one. Your parents will deny it. Look at the evidence. Merry Christmas.
- funny Merry Christmas, [first name]. I have been practising for your next game of cards. I intend to lose gracefully, which means badly.
Questions people ask
What can I write in a Christmas card for my niece?
Tell her something specific you admire, mention a shared joke, and say you are on her side. A niece will remember a card that treats her as a real person, whatever her age.
Should I write to my niece or to her parents if she is young?
Address it to her. A parent can open it and read it aloud, or help her find the link on a phone. Keep the words short and bright for little ones, and put in a line a parent will enjoy too.
Can I send one card to my niece and nephew together?
You can, but it often works better to send each one their own card with their own message. Siblings notice who got what, and a personal line for each avoids any argument over who got the better one.
