Thanksgiving Card Messages

Thanksgiving card messages: what to write from the UK

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. If you're sending from the UK, post about ten days ahead — these Thanksgiving card messages cover family, friends, hosts and the ones you only see on video call.

Copy any of them straight in. Every card is blank inside, so you can add the bit only the two of you would understand.
