How do you write a simple Christmas wish and when to send it?
At Rainbow Socks, we know that gifts and wishes—just like socks—always come in pairs. That’s why we’ve decided to bring up the topic of Christmas wishes — something many people find tricky, but few are brave enough to ask how to get right…
When it comes to family gatherings, the answer is relatively simple. On Christmas Day — usually at the start — it’s tradition for the head of the family to open the celebration with warm wishes and a cute Christmas saying. Things get trickier, however, when it comes to sending Christmas wishes with love to friends and colleagues.
On the one hand, you don’t want to intrude or interrupt their family time. On the other hand, it’s clear that a thoughtful message shows you care. So when is the right moment for Christmas wishes to ensure the recipient has time to read and enjoy them? Should it be just before Christmas Eve? Or is Christmas Day better?
Our tip: better sooner than later! We don’t recommend leaving your wishes to the very last minute. Sending them on Christmas Eve is ideal — but not too early. We suggest either late afternoon or just after the Christmas Eve dinner. The morning is usually a whirlwind for everyone!
Once you’ve picked the perfect moment, it’s time to find a cute Christmas saying and the right words to go with it. If you’re like us and prefer quick, heartfelt solutions, you’re in the right place. Below, you’ll find a ready-made list of Christmas wishes with love to send via message.
- Wishing you a Christmas full of love, laughter, and cosy moments.
- May your heart be light and your home be warm. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
- Love came down at Christmas – and I’m sending some your way. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
- Hoping your holidays are filled with everything that makes you smile. Merry Christmas!
- May your holidays be filled with too many fairy lights, just enough hot chocolate, and the perfect excuse to do absolutely nothing. Merry Christmas – sending love, laughter, and a little bit of sparkle your way!
If sending Christmas wishes with love via message doesn’t quite feel like your thing, you can always use these ideas in a traditional Christmas card… and pair it with gift socks, delivered straight to the recipient’s door. Order early to make sure they arrive before Christmas Eve!
Sending Christmas wishes is one thing — replying to them is a whole different story. How do you say thank you in a kind but not too ordinary way? That’s where we come in. Creativity is our middle name, and we’ve got your back.
Christmas is that magical time when everyone winds down and – as we’ve noticed – even the most serious people allow themselves a little humour. So, what is the best thing to wish for Christmas and how should you respond? Instead of the classic “Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too,” why not go for something funny or a bit more personal? Bonus points if it matches the tone of the original message.
Before you jump into writing, here’s a quick cheat sheet for replying to Christmas wishes with love:
- Start with a thank you. It can be as simple as ‘Thank you!’ or something more heartfelt like ‘Such lovely wishes — I hope they all come true!’
- Return the sentiment without copying. A casual ‘Wishing you all the best too!’ works great.
- Add something personal if you like: ‘Hope you enjoy a cosy family Christmas and find a moment to relax.’
- Close with your own touch – a cheerful greeting or funny sign-off can make it feel more ‘you.’
- Remember: your tone should match your relationship. The way you message your best mate won’t be the same as how you write to your boss. Christmas wishes — just like presents — work best when they’re personalised!
Some may say it’s obvious, but let’s face it — we’ve all had moments of blanking on how to reply. Hopefully, our mini guide inspires you to act. After all, it’s better to respond warmly than leave someone waiting.
There are some things that make Christmas complete, and Christmas wishes with love to your dearest and nearest are definitely one of them. When is the right moment for Christmas wishes, how to send them, and what to say in reply? We believe you already know the answers, and starting today, Christmas wishes won’t make you anxious anymore.
With Christmas just around the corner, we’d also like to wish you a Merry Christmas. May your celebrations be warm and full of colours — just like our Rainbow Socks, the perfect Christmas gift for everyone.
