Writing to your boss is easier with a simple rule: be respectful, be specific and keep it short. These messages are polite, warm and safe for any workplace.

Put your message on a card. Copy a wish above, add a name and download a card with Santa. Open the card maker.

What to avoid when writing to your boss

Skip jokes about workload, pay or gossip. Don’t write more than three or four lines. Mention one real thing, like a project or support you received, and end with a simple wish. Sign with your name and add your team if it’s a group card.

Frequently asked questions

Is it appropriate to give my boss a Christmas message?
Yes. A short, respectful message is a thoughtful gesture and is usually well received.

Should it be an email or a card?
Either works. A card feels personal; an email is fine for remote teams.
