Use this list of holiday card messages to help you write in your holiday cards. Holiday card messages can be difficult to write, especially if you wish to be unique and creative. Your card will compete with all the other holiday cards sent by friends, family, or businesses. This is especially true if you are writing corporate or business holiday card messages. For personal cards you will want to write something meaningful, heart-warming, fun, or funny.

In the spirit of the holidays and the end of the year, you can focus on being thankful, giving good cheer, or wishing for a bright future year. Holiday card messages are the place to reflect, encourage, thank, or send warm wishes.

1. "Wishing you an abundance of friends, happiness, and fun this holiday season."

2. "We should live every day like it is a holiday, being thankful and spending time with family, and looking hopefully to the future."

3. "Hoping you are surrounded by love and warmth this holiday season. Merry Christmas."

4. "Wishing you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

5. "We wish you health, comfort, and prosperity this holiday season. Season's Greetings."

6. "May your home be filled with the joy of family and friends this holiday season."

5. "Wishing you a holiday season filled with stress, cold, and anger. Hey, at least this is realistic."

6. "Sorry kids, Santa died. But the good news is now you can listen to Santana songs instead of Santa songs at Christmas time."

7. "I think the holidays were created to punish those who have been naughty. I must be on the naughty list every year, cause I feel punished."

8. "I got an idea, let's make a day every year where people are pressured socially to be kind, generous, happy, and patient. Oh yeah, that's already been done. Merry Christmas."

• Match your receiver. Don't write something funny if you can't the the person understanding the joke.
• Use the word "Christmas" for your friends and family and possibly your own business holiday cards if you celebrate Christ's birth. If you work for a company that won't allow the word "Christmas," then quit. Just kidding. Use the word "holiday" instead. Unfortunately Christmas has become four letter word, literally. Now people use X-mas, which I think is for the birth of the X-men or something. I love that movie.
• Get your cards sent at least two weeks early. If you are late, you can just change the date to the next year and be the earliest Christmas card sender for next year.
