Christmas Card Messages for Your Boss: What to Write
A Christmas card to your boss should be polite without grovelling. Thank them for one thing and wish them a good break.
Keep it friendly, keep it short, and keep anything you wouldn't say in the kitchen out of it.

Frequently asked questions
Should you give your boss a Christmas card?
It's a nice gesture but not expected. Keep the message professional and warm, and don't pair it with an expensive gift.
When should I post a Christmas card in the UK?
Royal Mail usually sets its last recommended second class date in mid December and first class a couple of days later. Check the Royal Mail website for this year's dates and post a few days before to be safe.
What is a good example of christmas card messages for your boss?
"Merry Christmas, and thank you for your support this year." is one of 6 examples on this page. Pick the one closest to the tone you want, then add a specific detail of your own - a shared memory, a date, a name - so it reads as yours rather than copied.
Can I copy these messages word for word?
Yes. Everything on this page is free to copy, print and read out - no permission or credit needed. Changing one detail so it fits the person is all we would suggest.
