Short notes for Christmas cards

Handwritten cards only have room for a line or two. Simple faces like (◕‿◕) are easy to draw by hand; save the complicated Unicode ones for texts and digital cards.

For friends who find Christmas hard

Not everyone has a merry December. For someone who is grieving, alone, or just tired, a low-pressure check-in usually lands better than a cheerful greeting.

    No pressure to be festive. Just thinking of you this week (っ´▽`)っ

    If you want company on the 25th, there's a seat and a plate here for you ♡

  • After the day

    Glad the holidays are almost done? Coffee next week, my treat ☕(◕‿◕)

Late and Boxing Day wishes

  • Belated

    Sorry I'm late! Hope you had a merry Christmas (^_^;)🎄

  • Food coma

    Still full from Christmas dinner (´-ω-`) Hope yours was just as good!

Frequently asked questions

  • What is a good Christmas kaomoji for a text?

    🎄(◕ᴗ◕✿) is cheerful and short, and Ψ(・ᴥ・)Ψ is a reindeer kids love.

  • Should I say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays at work?

    If you are not sure everyone celebrates Christmas, Happy Holidays is the inclusive choice. In teams that celebrate, Merry Christmas is fine.

  • Will Christmas kaomoji show on every phone?

    Yes on modern phones. If a rare symbol shows as a box, choose a simpler face built from common characters.
