Funny Christmas cards for your son

Funny cards for a son work best when the joke is about a thing he does, not a thing he is. The sock under the bed, the four hundredth question before breakfast, the sudden hunger at 9pm. Keep it kind, keep it light, and let him laugh with you. A card that makes a boy giggle and then reread it is doing its job.

3 things to write inside

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

  1. funny Merry Christmas, [first name]. I would like it noted that I have found the same sock under your bed four times this year. I love you anyway, and the sock sends its regards.
  2. funny Dear [first name], you asked 4,000 questions this year and I answered about half. Today the answer is yes, you can have a biscuit for breakfast. Just this once. Merry Christmas.
  3. funny [first name], it is Christmas, so I am officially pretending I did not hear you ask if it is time yet at 4.30am. Merry Christmas, little legend. Please go back to bed for ten more minutes.

Questions people ask

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

Keep it short and about him. Name one thing you noticed this year, like a new skill or a habit that made you smile, then say you love him. Small and specific lands better than a long speech, and he will remember it.

Can I send a Christmas card to my son by text or email?

Yes. You choose a card, add your own words inside and send it as a link. He opens it like an envelope on his phone or tablet. If he is young, send it to your own phone so you can open it together.

Can I schedule my son's card for Christmas morning?

You can. Write it any time before, set it to arrive on Christmas morning and it will be waiting when he wakes up. That means you do not have to remember on the day, which is generous of future you.
