Tips for writing it
Keep it inclusive
“Happy holidays” and “season’s greetings” work for everyone. Use “Merry Christmas” when you know they celebrate it.

A line about something you did together this year makes a seasonal card personal.

Set the card to open on the last workday before the holidays.
