Six best practices for writing your own personalized holiday message

Crafting a personalized holiday greeting doesn’t have to be tricky or time-consuming; it simply requires a few basics and a dash of creativity. Follow these practical steps to create greetings for this Christmas and holiday season that make your friends, relatives, colleagues, or customers feel special.

You may be wondering, "Where do I start?" Well, friends, the magic lies in finding the right balance between universal good wishes and individual sentiment. Here's our top tips writing a personalized message.

1. Keep the recipient in mind

Always keep in mind who the greeting is for. This will influence the tone, content, and style of your holiday wishes. Do they prefer a formal approach or a more relaxed tone? A heartfelt message for a family member might differ from a professional note to a client or associate.

2. Express genuine sentiments

Personalization stems from authenticity. To make your holiday messages extra special, include your well wishes, gratitude, or heartfelt thoughts in a genuine and meaningful way. This shared sentiment will add a touch of warmth to your message.

3. Include a personal touch

Can you add something distinct that ties the greeting to the person? Maybe you'd mention an inside joke, a shared memory, or talk about their best traits. This is what makes your message truly personalized and memorable.

4. Recognize the significance of the holiday

When crafting holiday messages, it's important to consider the significance of the holiday for your recipient. If they celebrate a particular tradition, weave this into your wishes. Acknowledging the holiday and conveying your understanding of its meaning to them can strengthen the connection between you two. 

5. Set a positive tone for the new year

As you wrap up your holiday message, consider including well wishes for the year to come. Encourage hope and optimism for a New Year filled with happiness, success, and good health. This furthers the uplifting spirit that holiday messages are meant to deliver. 

6. Keep it concise

While you want your message to be meaningful and personalized, it's also important to keep it concise. Long messages may lose their impact when the main sentiment gets lost within the words. Be succinct and ensure your heartfelt message shines through. 

Pro tip: Remember, the best holiday greetings come from the heart. So, be sincere and authentic. It's your sentiments that count, not the word count or complexity of language.
