Holiday greetings ideas for your cards, emails, and Business English messages
It’s that time of year when Father Christmas is checking his ‘Naughty or Nice’ list and preparing the reindeer for their special flight!
Because it is Christmas, many of us need to send wishes to colleagues, associates and partners. If you are feeling stuck trying to think of the best and most special Christmas wish, have no fear; here are some holiday greetings to provide you with a variety of options for your cards, emails and social media.
Note: all of these can be made appropriate for all religions / groups by replacing the words ‘Merry Christmas’ with ‘Happy Holidays’.
