How To Sign Christmas Cards - Christmas Card Etiquette
Believe in your *elf* and your Christmas cards will be best in *snow*.
And after all that time spent on finding the right holiday cards and presents, and time spent at parties and around the table with friends and family, it's no wonder your camera roll is filled with sweet shots of you and your family (especially after it took you 10 minutes to get the perfect shot). Don't let those pics get lost in your phone, print them in a holiday-themed photo book (print them in a high-quality Layflat photo book and add blank text pages to create a personalized gift), or hang them on your wall with Canvas Wall Tiles. And if you love saving your favorite memories from every month, print 30 pictures each month with a Monthbooks subscription.
General Christmas card closings are great for more formal relatives and friends. These classic closings are fool-proof and can basically be used to all levels of acquaintances.

Is your family known for having a crazy Christmas card? Get a closing that matches your fam’s funny vibes with a silly closing that’ll make your recipients smile.
It’s the most wine-derful time of the year,
A mistle-toast to the holiday season,
I love you from head to mistletoe,
You’re sleigh-in’ it,
Believe in your elf,
Have your elf a merry little Christmas,
Wanting to make sure your holiday card signatures are just right? Here are some more concrete examples of how you can sign your holiday cards this year.
From the family: You can include your children's names, or just sign with the family last name
Example: Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas, Love the Anderson Family OR Love Tyler, Erika, Avery, Josie, and Finn
From the office: To keep things professional, it’s better for your closing to include the rest of the company rather than just yourself.
Example: Happiest Holidays from your friends at Mountain View Financial
From a friend: Keep it casual! Odds are your friend is getting cards from work and her 90 year old aunt—she has enough “best wishes” to get her through 2087. Make your closing funny and light.
Example: Missing you from head to mistletoe! Your Bestie, Ellie
When you go to sign your Christmas card, consider your relationship with the recipient. Is this a family member who is more on the formal side? A friend who’s seen you ugly-cry over a college breakup? A colleague or boss? Take your rapport into consideration before you start signing.
