Dads are often the quiet heroes of Christmas, the ones who untangle the lights, carve the turkey, and always know where the batteries are hiding. Whether your dad is sentimental, funny, or a bit of both, writing something heartfelt or slightly cheeky in his card is a great way to make him smile this Christmas.
