How do you sign yours?
Some mornings the temptation not to start work is strong. Today was one of those days - a Tuesday that feels like a Monday!, so lying in bed doom-scrolling on the Insta a suggested reel pops up.
And it really made me laugh out loud. It is a clip from a Esther Manito's stand up show Crusade that is currently available on UK TV Play.
It's all about how her husband and his parents sign their greeting cards, reading it won't do it justice so watch the clip to find out.
And that got us thinking, what do people write on their cards they send? What is the correct etiquette we should use here?
If you are sending a birthday card to your bestie Steve, do you put "Dear Steve", "To Steve", "Steve"? Do you even need to put their name because the chances of there being two birthdays on the same day is a bit remote.
Valentine's Day can be a difficult day to know what to write if you want to keep it original and meaningful - although luckily we've written a handy set of Valentine's Day messages to help.
And what about at Christmas? We love seeing a fireplace or sideboard covered in Christmas cards and always have to have a peek to see what people do. It's the age old dilemma.
"Merry Christmas" is already printed inside - do you then have to write something about wishing them a Happy Christmas to show you have put some effort it, or can you just add "and a happy new year" underneath?
But let's face it, when your writing your 49th card they should be lucky you have even bothered to sign it and not just shoved it in an envelope!
If you really need help with writing something in your Christmas card, we've written over 100 ideas of Christmas card messages for friends and family you can write to inspire (or just plane crib off)
And then we get to the final sign off, is it just your name, with love, love and hugs, love and kisses, love and squishy hugs? Do you include the cats, dogs and fish? Do you put kisses, what about a little heart or smiley face?
