130+ original christmas wishes you can copy in a single tap. Every line is written in-house for Saylines — nothing here is scraped or reposted — and every card is free to download and share.
The December calendar matters more than the wording. Cards posted after about the fifteenth arrive looking late regardless of what is in them, and a message sent on the twenty-third reads as a reminder rather than a thought. For family abroad, send in their morning rather than yours.
The hardest Christmas messages to write are for people having a difficult one, and most collections skip them entirely. There is a set below for exactly that, written to acknowledge the year rather than wish around it.
Christmas messages are written in bulk and read quickly, which is why most of them land as politeness rather than warmth. The ones that get kept are usually the shortest and the most specific — a line that names the person, or the year they have had, does more than a paragraph of general goodwill.
The collections below are grouped by who you are writing to, with a short set for a text, a warmer set for a card, and a lighter set for people you joke with. Everything here is written in-house and free to use.
Most Christmas messages are written in one sitting, for a long list of people, which is exactly why so many of them read the same. The sets below are split by who you are actually writing to, because a message to your mother and a message to a client are not the same job.
Cards are usually posted in the first two weeks of December; messages are sent on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. For people in other time zones, send in their morning rather than yours.
One specific thing about the person or the year, then a short wish. Two honest sentences beat a long block of general cheer, and they are what people actually keep.
Acknowledge it rather than wishing around it. Saying you are thinking of them, without insisting they have a wonderful time, is kinder than forced cheer.
Yes. Every line here is original to Saylines and free to send, post or print without credit.
