Questions
What do you write in a Christmas card for your family, from abroad?
A Christmas card home when you can't be there does two jobs: it names the missing honestly, and it puts you at the table anyway. Write it early — it means more than the presents. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.
How long should a Christmas message be?
One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
Say it to Family abroad in their language
The phrases natives use, and full messages by a native speaker — sent as a card in that language.
