A heartwarming text

Hey Mum, Merry Christmas! 🎄 Just wanted to let you know that you're the real MVP of our holiday cheer. Thanks for always adding that special touch of magic (and a dash of chaos) to our celebrations. May your day be filled with joy, laughter, and maybe a few cookies that mysteriously disappear. Love you to the North Pole and back! 🎅🏻🍪❤️

A funny-ish text

Hey Mum, Merry Christmas! 🎄 Why did Santa go to music school? Because he wanted to improve his wrapping skills! 😂 Sending you lots of laughter and warm wishes this holiday season. Thanks for being the jolliest elf in our family workshop. May your day be filled with more joy than a kid with a mountain of presents. Love you! 🎅🏻🎁❤️

A text if you’re still not speaking but it’s Christmas so you have to

Hey Mom, as the holiday season approaches, I've been reflecting on the uniqueness of our relationship. It's clear we're both strong-willed individuals, and our differences sometimes lead to clashes. Let's navigate this Christmas in our separate ways, finding our own peace. Wishing you a season filled with moments that bring you joy, even if they're different from mine. 🎄❤️

(Dad’s don’t really text, so don’t go too far out of your way for this one.)

Merry Christmas, Dad. 

Wishing you a delightfully ambiguous Christmas! 🎄✨ Whether we're in the 'Jingle Bells' or 'Silent Night' phase, here's to enjoying the mystery. May your holiday be as undefined as our current status. Cheers to festive confusion and low-key celebrations. 🥂

I hope you got coal this morning.

Merry Christmas to the coolest grandparents ever! 🎄✨ Just wanted to send some extra love your way this holiday season. I know, I know, it's tough being so far away from the amazing grandkid (me!) who makes everything in life shine a bit brighter. 😄 May your Christmas be filled with warmth, laughter, and a sprinkle of the magic that comes with having the best grandkid ever. Here's to more incredible moments together in the coming year!

Love you both to the moon and back.

Here's to a Christmas filled with the warmth of our strained attempts at sibling camaraderie. May your festive spirit be as persistent as our friendly(?) competition. Let's see who can survive the holiday cheer without eye rolls and thinly veiled sarcasm. May the odds be ever in your favour.

If your boss is a corporate drone

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season. Your leadership has been truly inspiring, and I'm grateful for the opportunities to learn and contribute under your guidance. As we approach the end of the year, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the valuable insights and support you've provided.

I am eager to tackle new challenges and take on additional responsibilities in the coming year. I am committed to contributing my best to the success of our team and the organization as a whole. Thank you for your continued trust and mentorship.

May the new year bring prosperity and growth to our team. I look forward to the possibilities that lie ahead.

If your boss is your bestie

Wishing you the merriest Christmas and the happiest of holidays! 🎄✨ Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your fantastic leadership and the incredible camaraderie we share as a team. This year has been a blast, and I can't wait to see what adventures the new year brings.

Your guidance has been a game-changer, and I'm excited about the chance to continue growing together. Here's to more successes, challenges, and shared laughter in the upcoming year.

PS: I’ll never tell anyone what you did at the Christmas party.

If your boss is a pain

(Don’t send them a message. What are you, crazy?)

If you’re working on Christmas

Can I take my break now? As a Christmas treat?

Fun Aunty/Uncle

Hey Aunty/Uncle of Holiday High Jinks! 🎄🍸 Here's to a Christmas so merry, even the ornaments will need a drink! 🍾🎅 May your cup runneth over with festive spirits (and maybe a splash of something stronger). 🥳🥂 Here's to a Christmas feast so indulgent, it makes the naughty list blush! 😈🎁 Get ready to rock around the Christmas tree and toast to the most spirited season yet! Cheers to merriment, mischief, and making memories that require a bit of hazy recollection! 🌟🍻

Boring Aunty/Uncle

Dear Aunty/Uncle of Tranquil Tidings, 🎄☕️ Wishing you a Christmas that's as steady as your favorite recliner and as calm as a quiet library. May your festive season be filled with the soothing simplicity of a well-brewed cup of tea and the predictable joy of familiar routines. 🍵🕰️ Here's to a holiday season that's more serene than sensational, more subdued than spirited. May your days be merry and, well, comfortably uneventful. 🎁📚

If they’re useless

As the year winds down, I can't help but reflect on the rollercoaster of accomplishments and... let's call them 'learning opportunities' we've had together. This Christmas, I'd like to gift you all a friendly reminder that excellence is a team effort, and some of us need to step up.

Let's unwrap the potential for improvement in the coming year.

If you’re a millennial boss

Guess what? It's that time of the year again – jingle bells, awkward family dinners, and my attempt at writing a corporate-speak holiday message. 🎄✨

As we wrap up this rollercoaster of a year, I just wanted to say, 'You guys are, like, the best and stuff.' Let's embrace the awkwardness of the past and make 2023 the year we level up. Like, seriously, let's hustle harder, multitask better, and maybe, just maybe, reply to emails before the third follow-up.

Wishing you a lit holiday season and a boss-level upgrade for the new year. Let's make it less cringe and more awesome! Say hi to your Mum for me!

If you’re a Gen Z boss
