Christmas gift for dad: 12 texts to send
A Christmas gift for dad is often an object. The one he keeps is a chat you already have: the "you home safe?", the route, the weather in your city.
The personal gift is that chat, printed. MonLivreSMS makes it a book from WhatsApp, texts or Messenger. You see it before you order.
A detail only he would know
A Christmas text for your dad doesn't describe love. It brings back a scene only he was in.
Dad, you texted "you home safe?" at 1. I said yes. Tonight I'm saying it again: yes, and thanks for asking.
You sent the route at 6. I still have it. I got there. You didn't have to ask twice.
I kept the photo of the shelf. Not for the shelf. For your hands, the day you showed me how.
You wrote "ok". Nothing else. I knew you'd read it.
What he does without saying it
An ordinary week swallows these lines. They're usually the ones that reach him on Christmas Eve.
You left the engine running. I saw you in the mirror. Thanks for waiting.
The screwdriver is still in its place. I never wrote this: I know where it is because you showed me twice.
You sent the weather for my city. I hadn't asked. You sent it anyway.
You checked the tires before I left. You didn't say anything. I saw the gauge on the seat.
Christmas Eve
Short enough to read between two dishes.
Tonight, read this before dessert. Nothing to answer. I just wanted you to see it.
Merry Christmas, Dad. Not for the parcel. For the moment you still check that everyone got home.
I'll do the dishes. You sit down. The rest can wait.
If the table gets too loud, come back to this. I'm glad to be here. That's all.
The gift under the tree
A text goes out on Christmas Eve. The personal Christmas gift for dad is the year's conversation, printed, with the messages nobody else has.
MonLivreSMS makes that book from WhatsApp, texts or Messenger. You see it before you order. Not a line engraved on a mug. Your words, in the order you actually said them.
Frequently asked questions
What's a personal Christmas gift for dad?
A text on Christmas Eve, then the book of the chat where those words already live. MonLivreSMS prints that chat. It isn't your lines engraved on a mug. It's your messages.
We barely text. Does it still work?
Yes. The book is often "you home safe?", a route, the weather, an "ok". That is the chat with your dad.
Is this for a boyfriend?
No. This one is for your dad. Christmas gifts for a partner live on other pages.
What if Dad is gone?
This page is for a father you can still write to. Words for a tribute are on another page of the blog.
