Address the card to them, add some well wishes for the festive season (example: Wishing you a very merry Christmas and happy new year), depending on your familiarity, a joke (I hope your New Year's resolutions last at least until February!), and a sign off, making sure to include your name!

When is the best time to send Christmas cards?

The best time to send your personalized Christmas card is for it to arrive before Christmas, so your recipient has time to read and enjoy their card, before proudly displaying your hard work at their home in time for the big day!
