40 Holly Jolly Christmas Greetings For Dad
Christmas is the perfect time to show some appreciation for one very important man in your life. And no, we’re not talking about Santa. Let’s be honest: Old Saint Nick already gets plenty of attention around the holidays.
No, the important man we’re referring to is Dad. While you can probably never pay Dad back for all those presents, you can at least send him a thoughtful greeting at Christmastime. It doesn’t have to be sappy, either. The following list of Christmas messages for Dad run the gamut from sentimental to silly, so you can find just the right words to make your old man jolly.
