There's something lovely about that moment when you finally sit down to write your Christmas cards. The tree is twinkling, the kettle's on, and you've got a little pile of cards ready to send to your favourite people.

All that's missing? A bit of Christmas music, of course.

So, we've put together a festive playlist to keep you company while you write. Full of Christmas cheer and familiar favourites, it's the perfect soundtrack for a cosy evening of card writing.

Put the Kettle On, Press Play & Get Writing

Whether you're someone who has their Christmas cards written and ready by November, or you're more of a last-minute, where-did-I-put-the-stamps kind of person, we think writing Christmas cards deserves its own little moment.

And what better way to get into the festive spirit than with a bit of Christmas music?

So, find your favourite spot, pop on the Christmas lights and make yourself something warm to drink. Gather your cards, dig out your favourite pen and let our festive playlist do the rest.

A Little Christmas Tradition Worth Keeping

In amongst the shopping lists, present wrapping and endless things to remember, it's easy to forget just how lovely it feels to sit down and write a Christmas card.

A few handwritten words can mean so much.

Perhaps it's a little update for someone you haven't seen all year, a heartfelt message to a friend who lives miles away, or a simple reminder to someone special that you're thinking of them.

And there's something rather wonderful about knowing that, in a few days' time, your card will be sitting on someone's mantelpiece, bringing a little bit of Christmas cheer into their home.

It's one of those little traditions that makes Christmas feel like Christmas.

Make a Cosy Evening of It

Our favourite way to write Christmas cards? Make a proper evening of it.

Light a candle, grab a few festive treats and put your phone to one side (unless it's playing the music, of course).

Spread your cards out, get comfortable and enjoy a little time away from the Christmas rush.

And don't worry if you find yourself singing along more than writing. That's all part of the fun.

You could even make it a little tradition with family or friends. A table full of Christmas cards, plenty of snacks and a festive singalong sounds like a rather lovely way to spend a winter evening to us.

Ready, Set, Write!

If you've still got a few people to tick off your Christmas card list, we've got plenty of lovely designs to help you find just the right one.

From traditional robins and snowy winter scenes to cheerful characters and beautiful festive florals, there's something for everyone.

Each of our cards begins with original artwork created by our talented in-house design team in Cornwall, making every little message feel that bit more special.

So, turn up the music, get those pens moving and enjoy a little moment of Christmas magic.

Because sometimes, the loveliest Christmas traditions are the simplest ones.
