As long as you’ve covered the basics—dates of your absence and who to contact in your absence—you should be good to go.
You can set the ‘favourites’ phone calls to pass through the DND but does this also apply to their text messages or only their phone calls?
Pro tip: The first works well for both voicemail greetings and email responders, while the next two are most appropriate for emails.
Yet, sometimes compiling the right words can be a bit daunting. You want to be polite, clear, firm, and perhaps even a little festive. Plus, it’s often a task we leave until we’re just about to run out the door for a holiday break.

It’s kind of a ridiculous OOO anyway since by the time I get it from you, I have already sent my email.
I recently described myself as being “out of the virtual office.” Away from the virtual office” would probably have been even more precise. I think whatever you say, people will understand what you mean.

Thank you so much for your email. I love it already. It’s wrapped so nicely in its charming subject line that I just knew this message was going to be something special. Gifts like these just don’t come around every day.
