While sending and receiving holiday cards reminds us of the loved ones we haven’t seen in a while, or friends who we’ve lost touch with, deciding how to sign a Christmas card is actually a lot more complicated than it seems. How can you sound cordial but not creepy, caring but not fanatical, brief but not rude? And, wait—you have to take into account all of the different people who will be receiving this card. The same sign-off may not be appropriate for separate categories of people. How do you sign a card for a family member versus a coworker? How do you sign a card without saying “love” or “from”? To make your card-sending slightly easier, we’ve taken the liberty of brainstorming the most tactful sign-offs for Christmas cards. The relationships that we have with different groups of people call for different types of sign-offs. We’ve taken the liberty to compile our list in order to reflect different types of warmth for different types of people.
