Christmas Toasts for Dads

As the head of the family, you are at the heart of Christmas celebrations. The family sits down for the cozy Christmas dinner, with anticipation and cheer, looking up to you as you raise your glass to a toast. This is the time where you rise to the occasion, and deliver words that are memorable, and will set forth a tradition for generations to follow.

Here are some famous, time-tested toasts which you could consider for the evening:

Joy, Joy (Scottish Christmas Toast)


May God shower joy upon us, my dear family.
Christmas brings us all good things.
God give us grace to see the New Year;
and if we do not increase in numbers
may we at all events not decrease.

On Happiness

Wishing you more happiness
Than all my words can tell,
Not just alone for Christmas
But for all the year as well.

On Peace and Prosperity

Peace and plenty for many a Christmas to come. (Irish Christmas Blessing )

May peace and plenty be the first
To lift the latch to your door,
And happiness be guided to your home
By the candle of Christmas.

For a long life

May you live as long as you Wish,
And have all you Wish or long as you live.
This is my Christmas Wish for You.
