What to write in a personal Christmas message to your boss

We’ll be getting a bit personal for this set of ideas. These messages are for those bosses who not only work hard but encourage you to better yourself through inspiration and mentorship.

If that’s the case, firstly, are they hiring? Secondly, this is where you’ll really want to get creative. A personalised Christmas card for boss is a great way to do this, and you can use these messages as a blueprint or a starting point.

Of course, if these sentiments are captured perfectly in the following messages, feel free to use them in their entirety.

To [your boss’ name], thank you for your guidance and inspiration throughout the year. A very merry Christmas to you and your family.
Now that the holiday season is upon us, it seems the right time to say thank you. Your advice and insight have been a great help, and the lessons I’ve learned here are something I hope to keep long into the future. A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!
I hope the holidays serve as a reward for a job well done. Thank you for all your help and advice, and a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you for your leadership this year, it’s been a great help and inspires me to do better every day. A very merry Christmas to you and yours – and I look forward to a prosperous new year back at work.

Or here are some sentiments best delivered as a team.

To our hard-working leader, a very merry Christmas to you and yours! We hope your holidays are full of mince pies, lots of presents and plenty of time with family. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year, from all your staff!
To the hardest working boss on the planet – Merry Christmas! We hope you take plenty of time to relax, unwind and enjoy the festive moments with your family. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
To an amazing boss, thank you for making this such a great place to work. Merry Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
From the whole team here, we want to wish you a fantastic Christmas! Thanks for all your help, advice, and guidance, and for making this company such a fulfilling place to work.
You’ve taught us that anything worth doing is worth doing well, and we hope you take this outlook into your holidays, with plenty of relaxation, and time spent with family. Merry Christmas from all of us.

What to write as a funny Christmas message to your boss

Now that we’ve compiled a range of individual and team-based messages for you to deliver, let’s move away from the simple, although well intentioned flattery, and on to some messages that we hope will make your boss laugh out loud.

If your boss likes to crack jokes, doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and loves to get everyone involved, here are some funny merry Christmas card wishes for your boss.

We hope your Christmas is one of peace and calm – unlike our office!
Santa only works one night a year – I think it’s time to let him go. Merry Christmas!
To our hard-working boss, we hope you take some time to relax this Christmas and forget about work – don’t worry, we’ll definitely do the same! Merry Christmas!
Your leadership has kept our brains engaged throughout the year. Though, mostly we’ve been thinking about what to do during the holidays.
With all the festivities, the office is a lot like Santa’s workshop, which I guess makes you our jolly old leader. A very merry Christmas to you and yours!
I thought it was Santa coming down my chimney, until I heard you asking whether I’d finished that report. A very merry Christmas to a hard-working boss!
Christmas is a time to relax, forget about work, and perhaps have a drink or two – in that case, we apologise in advance for our behaviour at the Christmas party. Merry Christmas!

And here are some messages that incorporate Christmas quotes for your boss, with an amusing twist.

Charles M. Schulz said that ‘Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.’ In that case, I have some reports that need finishing. Merry Christmas to a wonderful boss, from your equally wonderful staff.
Mother Theresa said about Christmas that ‘It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.’ Which I suppose explains why you haven’t given us a pay rise in a while. Merry Christmas!

How to create a personalised card for your boss

Now that you’ve prudently picked the perfect message, it’s time to deliver it in a fantastic, personalised card!

Personalised cards are great not only for creating a message that’s totally unique, but with our easy-to-use personalisation tool, you can make your message as long and as thoughtful as you like. And you can effortlessly edit the size, font and colour of the text, so not only is it a perfect fit, but it looks beautiful as well.

You’ll be able to search through our huge catalogue and find the perfect design no matter what your festivities are. And you can deliver a personalised message with cards that are heart-warmingly traditional, eclectically offbeat, and rib-tickling funny; all created lovingly by a team of independent artists.

But if your boss is as brilliant as your message describes, why not delight and surprise them with one of our amazing specialist cards. Here’s a couple of the wonderful types we have on offer:

Boomf Bombs – these confetti cards are real showstoppers! An amazing, personalised photo cube complete with your own unique message, which bursts out of its packaging amidst an awesome confetti explosion. It’s no wonder they’ve gone viral! An exciting treat to liven up any special occasion.
Confetti Cannons – like our famous Boomf Bombs, these spectacular cards are released upon an unsuspecting recipient with an amazing confetti display, flipping up to reveal your own photo or one of our unique designs, and a personalised message. The complete card is also wrapped in an exciting design of its own, with many options to choose from.

Those are just two of our amazing confetti cards that can help take your celebrations to the next level. But whichever of our high-quality cards you choose, we hope we’ve helped you write the perfect Christmas wish for your boss.
