How do you write Merry Christmas in bubble letters?
- Two lines, MERRY bigger. MERRY has 5 letters and CHRISTMAS has 9. If both rows use the same letter height, MERRY looks lost. Make MERRY about 20 percent taller and center it over CHRISTMAS.
- Overlap the double R. The two R's in MERRY sit side by side. Tuck the second R behind the first, so the leg of the first R crosses in front. Both should have the same bowl size.
- Space CHRISTMAS evenly. CHRISTMAS mixes narrow letters (I, T) with wide ones (M, H). Mark nine slots in pencil before drawing, with the M slot widest and the I slot narrowest, so the row does not run off the page.
- Match the two S's. The S after the I and the S at the end should be the same size and tilt. Draw the first, then copy it. A fat, round S with small curls at each end looks most like a bubble letter.
- End the Y and the A softly. Round the fork of the Y in MERRY and the top of the A in CHRISTMAS, so no point sticks out above the other letters.

Colors and decorations for Merry Christmas
Red and green are classic, either alternating letter by letter or red for MERRY and green for CHRISTMAS. The Classic palette here uses a warm yellow to orange-red fade for a festive glow. Add snow caps on the tops of the letters, candy-cane stripes in the fill, holly leaves near the corners, or a star over the I. Gold and silver gel pens make good highlights.
Merry Christmas in graffiti letters
The graffiti image uses 3D letters pushed back with a deep block. With two rows, keep the block short on MERRY so it does not hide the top of CHRISTMAS, or leave a gap between the rows. Point every block the same way, usually down and right. The 3D graffiti letters guide explains depth and direction.
