With the outbreak of WWII, the sending of Christmas cards followed the same patters as with WWI. There was a decline in the sending of cards as raw materials were scarce and government put restrictions on paper usage. Again we saw an increase in parcels being sent to the front. However, cards were still sent to the troops to boost morale, give them hope, and make them feel proud of their efforts. Again, they had patriotic themes. Some were humorous or cheerful with bold colors. Some were simple designs with flags, ships, tanks, airplanes, gasmasks, or soldiers. A common sentiment was that of joy for the season and peace for the year. Popular wartime titles were: "To You Wherever You Are", "From Someone Who Misses You", "Across The Miles", "From Back Home", When You Come Home Again", "To A Grand Person in the Service", "Christmas Greetings To Someone in the Service", and numerous cards to "Sweetheart", "Husband", "Son", and "Nephew".

As in WWI, many regiments produced their own Christmas cards. Some were very well designed and made of high quality paper. Others of various services were less expensive looking. Very rare of those Christmas cards allowed to be sent home by prisoners of war.
