Christmas Card Messages for Your Auntie: Funny, Sweet and Short

Aunties are often the fun relative, so a Christmas card for yours can be a bit cheekier than the one for your parents.

Below are messages sorted by tone. Pick one, then add a single line that only the two of you would understand. That line is the bit they'll keep.

Warm

  • Merry Christmas to the best auntie anyone could ask for.
  • Thanks for always being in our corner. Happy Christmas.

Funny

  • Merry Christmas to my auntie - basically a mum, but with more prosecco.
  • Happy Christmas! Thanks for all the things Mum doesn't know about.
  • To my favourite auntie. Don't tell the others. Merry Christmas.

From a child

  • Merry Christmas, Auntie! Love you to the North Pole and back.

How to write it so it lands

  • Aunties love a card from the kids - get them to sign it themselves.
  • Sign off the way you'd actually talk to them, not the way a card company would.
  • Write the card before you wrap the present so it doesn't become a rushed scribble.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a Christmas card for an aunt?

Thank her for one thing she did this year, or tease her for being the fun one. Both go down well.

How long should a Christmas message for your auntie be?

Two to four lines is plenty. A short message with one specific detail beats a long, general one.

When should I post a Christmas card in the UK?

Royal Mail usually sets its last recommended second class date in mid December and first class a couple of days later. Check the Royal Mail website for this year's dates and post a few days before to be safe.

What is a good example of christmas card messages for your auntie?

"Merry Christmas to the best auntie anyone could ask for." is one of 6 examples on this page. Pick the one closest to the tone you want, then add a specific detail of your own - a shared memory, a date, a name - so it reads as yours rather than copied.
