Using "wanted to" as an expression

When writing a holiday card, for example (although it applies in many other situations), does it make sense to write

"Wanted to wish you Happy Holidays!"

My point is that the person will be reading the card you sent. The action of wishing someone Happy Holidays has aready been undertaken. Because of that, you know longer WANT to wish, you have wished.

Isn't it correct to say instead:

"Wishing you Happy Holidays!"

because the writing is present-tense?

Any help is appreciated!
