Talking points

For managers and team leads.

- Confirm holiday dates and cover arrangements early, especially when Christmas falls on a weekend. - Thank colleagues who are working over the period, and make sure they know who to escalate to. - Remember that not everyone celebrates, and that the season can be hard for some people.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

Not everyone celebrates Christmas, some work through it, and for some the season is lonely or difficult. Keep messaging practical about dates and cover, and warm without assuming.

How to feature this in your newsletter

  1. Plan ahead — Add Christmas Day to your content calendar at least 2 weeks before the date so you have time to gather content and images.
  2. Choose your angle — Will you run a dedicated special edition, or include it as a section in your regular newsletter? Bigger events work well as specials; smaller ones fit into your weekly digest.
  3. Involve your people — Ask employees to share their stories, experiences, or ideas related to Christmas Day. User-generated content always gets higher engagement.
  4. Include a call to action — Give readers something to do: attend an event, share a message, learn something new, or donate to a cause.
