Frequently Asked Questions

What should I write in a colleague's Christmas card?

Keep it warm, brief, and professional. Mention a specific contribution or shared moment from the year if you know them well; otherwise a sincere "Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a successful new year" works for anyone.

Is it okay to send religious Christmas messages at work?

For close colleagues you know share your beliefs — usually yes. For wider distribution (team-wide, company-wide), use religiously-neutral phrasing like "Happy holidays" or "Season's greetings" to respect everyone.

How do I send Christmas messages to coworkers in different offices?

Digital holiday eCards solve the distribution problem — a branded card arrives in every recipient's inbox at once. It feels more intentional than a mass email and doesn't rely on anyone being in the same room.

What's the difference between a Christmas message and a holiday message at work?

Christmas messages are specific to the holiday. Holiday messages are inclusive phrasing that works for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or people who don't celebrate a particular holiday. Default to "happy holidays" for wide distribution.

Should I send a Christmas card to my whole team or individually?

A branded team-wide card with a personal note for each recipient is usually the best balance. Digital eCard platforms let you do both in the same flow.

When should I send Christmas messages to coworkers?

The week before Christmas is ideal — late enough that people are in a holiday mindset, early enough to arrive before PTO. Avoid the actual holiday weekend.
