Tips for Work Christmas Messages

• Keep it professional with clients and senior leaders; save the jokes for close teammates.
• Mention a specific win or moment from the year to make the message feel personal.
• Use “Happy Holidays” when you aren’t sure whether someone celebrates Christmas.
• Send before the break so it lands while people are still checking email.
