6 Tips for Writing His Christmas Card

A great wish becomes unforgettable with a little personal touch. Try these:

1. Lead with a specific memory. The night the power went out in a storm, your first Christmas in a new home — a real moment beats a generic line.

2. Write in your own voice. One honest sentence in your words is worth more than a long borrowed poem.

3. Reference his world. Hockey practice, snowshoeing at the cottage, shovelling the driveway at dawn — details prove it was written for him alone.

4. Handwrite it. Even messy handwriting beats a printed insert. He will keep a handwritten card.

5. End with a plan. Skating under the lights, cocoa by the fire, a slow morning together — give the card a future to look forward to.

6. Add one private joke. Sign it the way you always do, then tuck in something only he will understand.
