How do you say "It has been awhile since we spoke I hope everything is okay" in Japanese
I have a good idea how to say it in Japanese but I want to sound a little native when speaking and not a textbook robot.
たとえば、 「久しぶりだなぁいかがですか?」
So I am looking for other ways then that. I have Christamas card I want to fill out and use different greetings.

If you're writing casually, you could say: 久しぶり。元気にしてる?
久しぶりだなぁいかがですか?sounds like a mix of casual and formal styles. You don't mix them normally in Japanese.

We distinguish the formal and casual form depending on the relationship, the status, the age...so could you give us more information? For example, a Christmas card to your close friend of the same age, younger than you, older than you, to your teacher, etc.
