This will depend upon the number of people who would be receiving your cards. If you will send cards to a large number of people, you must start writing your Christmas cards in the following manner.

Make another bunch of cards for friends whom you do not treat as very close and other bunch for acquaintances or business clients etc. with whom you have very formal relations.
• By Thanksgiving, you are done with address writing. Now start writing messages in the cards. You can start with the bunch of 'not so close friend' where you have to just write the names of the receiver and sign it with a simple message wishing Merry Christmas. Then you can write special Christmas cards for your dear ones with personalized Christmas messages. While doing this, you have now to sort your cards on the basis of distance they have to travel- a bunch for long distance cards, other bunch for cards that have to go abroad and another bunch for local cards.
• You should complete writing your messages on cards by the end of November, after which you have to send your Christmas cards.
