116 Texts To Wish Those You Love A Merry Christmas

Sending Christmas cards with your kids adorably smiling and perfectly posed in a field — in matching outfits, no less — is a lovely way to wish the people in your life a Merry Christmas. But let’s face it, we’re not all going to be able to pull that off every year. And the real point of a Christmas greeting is just to make the person you’re sending it know that you’re thinking of them and remembering them on the holiday. So for that purpose, a Merry Christmas wishes text, particularly one that’s a little more creative than just “Merry Christmas 🎄” does that just as well.

While texting can be seen as a more shallow form of communication than the card or the handwritten letter, the mom group text is a lifeline for many, and a friendly text letting someone know that you miss them or just checking in can really brighten someone’s day.

Whether they celebrate the religious aspect of the holiday, would appreciate a literary or poetic quote about Christmas, are a romantic partner (or perhaps someone you’re hoping to turn into a romantic partner), or are a kid who just got their own phone, these texts have you covered to wish them Merry Christmas in a creative way.
