It’s that time of the year again when everyone feels the need to unwind, relax, socialize and make merry. The Christmas bells and the promise of new year is when most of us go on long breaks from work to rejuvenate and recharge. It’s only warranted to take a few days off after putting in a lot of hard work. Since everyone feels jolly this festive season, it makes sense to come up with smart and creative out-of-office messages that can bring a smile to the face of your colleagues and clients as well.
It’s time to ditch the boring out-of-office messages. Wondering how to spice it up? We have some templates ready for you.

Hi there,
You’re reaching me at a time when I am merrily busy bidding adieu to 2023 in absolute style. However, if your message is urgent, you can resend it to me with a subject line that says ‘It’s urgent’.
If not, I suggest you also clink glasses of champagne with your loved ones and enjoy the last few days making memories.
Will revert to you in the new year now.
Best wishes,
(Your name)

Your email has reached my mailbox, but I guess it will get my attention on (…). I am at the moment busy binging on cookies, wine, plum cakes and hot choco fudge. And no, I didn’t say all this for you to salivate. But now that you’re salivating, I suggest you too gorge yourself on cookies and sweets.
Will discuss work once I get back. Thank you for your patience.
Best wishes,
