What to write in a Thanksgiving card for a friend

A Thanksgiving card for a friend is permission to say the thing you don't say the rest of the year: that you're grateful they're in your life. Name one moment from this year, keep it light if that's your friendship, and end on the wish.

Quick answer

Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for the friend who answers at midnight and shows up by morning. That's you.

Questions

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

A Thanksgiving card for a friend is permission to say the thing you don't say the rest of the year: that you're grateful they're in your life. Name one moment from this year, keep it light if that's your friendship, and end on the wish. 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 Thanksgiving 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.
