How to write it so it lands
- Write in clear, larger handwriting so it's easy to read without hunting for glasses.
- 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 should I write in my grandad's Christmas card?
Mention a memory with him or something he taught you. Grandads often won't say it, but they're chuffed to read it.
How long should a Christmas message for your grandad 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 grandad?
"Merry Christmas, Grandad. Thank you for all the stories, the laughs and the sneaky sweets." is one of 9 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.
