Common questions

What's a personal holiday message instead of a generic "happy holidays"?

Name the specific holiday you're referencing and add one detail about how you know the person — even a brief "thinking of you this Christmas" reads as more intentional than a greeting broad enough to fit anyone on a mailing list.

What do you write in a holiday message to a coworker or client?

Warm but brief, and generally safer to keep general ("happy holidays" or "wishing you a wonderful end to the year") rather than naming a specific holiday you're not certain they celebrate. A line of genuine thanks for the working relationship fits well here.

Should a holiday message mention a specific holiday or stay general?

Specific when you know what the person celebrates, general when you don't. Getting it right shows attention; getting it wrong is a bigger miss than staying neutral, so default to general with anyone you're unsure about.

What's a good holiday message for someone having a hard year?

Quieter and steadier than your other holiday messages — skip the exclamation points and lean on presence instead: "Thinking of you this season, sending love." An overly festive message can feel out of step with what they're actually going through.
