Questions people ask
What do you write in a Christmas card for a coworker?
Keep it warm and specific. Thank them for one thing they did this year and wish them a restful break, and one or two sentences is plenty.
Should I say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to clients?
If you don't know how a client celebrates, Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings is the safe, friendly choice. Use Merry Christmas when you know they celebrate it.
Is it okay to give my boss a Christmas card?
Yes, a sincere card thanking your boss is always appropriate. Keep the message professional and skip expensive gifts, since a kind note is what people remember.
Is this free?
Yes. It is free and you do not need an account.
Do you save what I type?
No. Your details are only used to write your message and are not stored.
Can I edit the message?
Yes, and we recommend it. Change any line so it sounds like you.
How do I make it more personal?
Add one or two real details: a hobby, a memory, a nickname, or an inside joke.
