Sweet Christmas cards for your son

Sweet cards for a son do not need big words. They need one honest sentence from you, the kind he will keep in a drawer for years without admitting it. Say you are proud, say you are glad he is yours, say you love him. Boys often read these twice when nobody is watching, so make the first read count.

7 things to write inside

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

  1. sweet [first name], you make our house louder and our days better, and I would not swap either. Merry Christmas, my darling boy. I love you more than all the chocolate in the pantry.
  2. sweet Merry Christmas, [first name]. This year I watched you get braver, kinder and a bit taller, all at once. I am very proud of you, and I would be even if you stayed the same size.
  3. sweet Dear [first name], thank you for the hugs, the questions and the drawings stuck on the fridge. Having you around is the best bit of every day. Love from me.
  4. sweet [first name], whatever is under the tree, the good part of my Christmas is you. Hope today is full of cuddles, custard and a very silly game.
  5. quiet [first name], I am glad you are mine. Merry Christmas.
  6. quiet Merry Christmas, [first name]. You are loved, today and every other day.
  7. quiet [first name], I am proud of you, just as you are. Love from me, always.

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.
