Questions

What do you write in a Christmas card for a friend?

A Christmas card for a friend is a thank-you for the year as much as a seasonal greeting. Name something the two of you shared. 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.
