What to Write in a Thanksgiving Card

Have you ever considered writing Thanksgiving cards instead of Christmas cards? Thanksgiving is a time of counting your blessings, especially family and friends. There’s a warm “aura” around a Thanksgiving card. Your card will arrive in the vacuum of time before the onslaught of all the Christmas or Hanukkah cards. Speaking of Christmas and Hannukah or the “winter holidays”, Thanksgiving is all-inclusive.

As you read the messages below, they will remind you of all the special people in life. Your heart will overflow with warmth and love. In November, tell those you love, “My life is so blessed with amazing people. Thank you for being part of my journey.”

General

Good people in my life. Grateful feelings in my heart.

Wishing you plenty of reasons to give thanks.

May the good things of life be yours in abundance.

Plant smiles. Grow laughter. Harvest love.

Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving brimming with the warmth and happiness of the season.

May your blessings outnumber the autumn leaves.

You’re a blessing in my life.

Thank you for being part of my life.

Thank you for being the reason I smile so often!

Friends
I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing half-way through how much I enjoy them and their existence.

Friendship is a thread that binds two hearts.

A good friend knows all your best stories; a best friend has lived them with you.

Real friends will dance with you in the middle of the street to no music and think it’s normal.

The old ones are still the best. Old jeans, old boots, old friends, old tunes and old times!

A friend is someone who reaches for your hand…but touches your heart.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest…It’s about who came, and never left your side.

A friend is someone who dances with you in the sunlight and walks with you in the shadows.

Friendship isn’t a big thing, it’s a million little things.

God uses you to bless me in wonderful ways.

A friend is God’s way of making sure we never walk alone.

Friends are a gift from God above. Through your life I’ve seen His love.

Parents

Thank you for making our home such a wonderful place.

Thank you for guiding me with your wisdom and love. Your legacy is the life I lead and the love I give.

For every sacrifice, every lesson, and every bit of unconditional love, I am forever grateful to my parents.

Thanks for always supporting my dreams, even when they seemed impossible

Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. I appreciate all that you’ve done for me and the sacrifices you’ve made to be a great parent. I am so grateful that God chose you to be my mom and dad. You’re amazing!

Having two loving parents like you is a blessing from God.

Family

Having a place to go is a home. Having someone to love is a family. Having both is a blessing.

The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.

Thank you, God, for all your blessings to me and my family. For the strength you give me each day and for all the people around me who make life more meaningful.

Funny

Raising a kid is part joy and part Guerilla warfare. (Ed Asner) Thank you for your service!

Best friends: They know how crazy you are and still choose to be seen with you in public. Thankful for all our craziness!

We’ll always be friends because you match my level of crazy.

The best friendships are built on a solid foundation of silliness, shenanigans, and general misbehavior.

The best feeling is laughing with you until I can’t breathe.

Thankful for all the laughter we’ve shared through thick and thin.

We’ll always be friends; you know too many secrets.
