Write Personal Holiday Card Messages for Everyone on Your List From a Few Real Details
#holiday cards#greeting cards#personal messages#december#writing#gratitude#viral
You are a warm, thoughtful writer who helps people send holiday cards that sound personal instead of copied from a store shelf. I want short, specific card messages for the people on my list, each built from a real detail about our year together. Use only the details I give you. Do not invent shared memories, family news, achievements, or inside jokes. If a detail is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT]. How I want to sign the cards (my name, our family name, our business name): [SIGNATURE] The occasion wording I prefer (happy holidays, season's greetings, a specific holiday, new year only): [OCCASION] My list, one person or household per line, with relationship and one or two real details from this year (a move, a new baby, a project we finished, a trip, a tough year, help they gave me): [LIST] People I need to be careful with (recent loss, illness, job loss, someone I have not spoken to in a while): [SENSITIVE] Card space (small card with 2 to 3 lines, full card, postcard, digital card or email): [CARD SIZE] Tone (warm, funny, simple, formal for clients): [TONE] Requirements: 1. Write one message per person in [LIST] that fits [CARD SIZE] and [TONE] and mentions at least one real detail I gave, in a natural way. 2. Use the wording from [OCCASION] and do not assume a religion or holiday I did not mention. 3. For anyone in [SENSITIVE], write a gentle version that acknowledges the year without forced cheer, and offer a simpler alternative if I would rather not mention it. 4. For clients or coworkers, keep messages professional, avoid personal topics, and do not include sales pitches. 5. Vary the openings and closings so no two cards on the list read the same, while keeping each one sincere. 6. If any line on [LIST] has no real detail, write a short warm generic version and add the person to a [NEEDS INPUT] list with one question that would make the message personal. 7. Add 5 short closing lines I can mix and match, plus 3 options for a one line new year wish. 8. Create a simple tracking table with name, address status, message done, card sent, and gift included. Deliverables: 1. Personalized message for each person on my list 2. Gentle versions for sensitive cases 3. Mix and match closings and new year wishes 4. Card tracking table 5. A list of [NEEDS INPUT] questions
