Frequently asked questions
What do you write in a Christmas card to a colleague?
A thank you for something specific and a wish for a good break. Two lines is right.
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 colleagues?
"Merry Christmas and thank you for all your help this year." is one of 8 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.
