writes:Does anyone know how to write an apology in a Christmas card? I've never been good with words so I'm not sure if i should just wish the person i care about a happy holiday or to just say "I'm sorry" for hurting them? Ideas? I screwed up and said some hurtful things when i was angry. I've been trying to show her that i changed and how sorry that i am by apologizing numerous times. I even wrote her a few long emails and she's still hurt and not really talking to me.How can i express this in a Christmas card without detracting from Christmas?

Anymore appologies and you're boardering on stalking and being creepy. You've appologised and now you have to wait for her to come back, if she does at all. If she doesn't all you can do is move on.

 if youve apologised in writing before a couple of times, youve gotten your msg across ok. Write her a christmas card by all means to let her know youre thinking of her, but say only what you'd say in a card to a relative... anything more than a "hope youre doing well" and youve gone too far.

Don't. Christmas cards are not for a "get out of jail free card" or "I'm sorry please forgive me".
YOU have already apologized many times, one more time won't make a difference.
Let her TAKE her time, and decide WHEN and IF she is ready to let it go.

 If you have already apologised by email and she still hurt and not talking, I doubt writing an apology in a Christmas card will ease her hurt to any degree.
There is no way you can write anything unChristmassy in a Christmas card without detracting from Christmas .......
You might need to simply accept the fact the hurt you inflicted is still being dealt with and that the ball is in your victim's court ....... weather she kicks it back to you or not is her decision.
