One of my co-workers, who was involved in a lot of committees and consequently got even more than the usual share of email around my place, put up an OOO message that said she was going to be “on pot for the week of the 15th.”
A Christmas closure email is an email sent to the staff stating that the office, institution, etc. will be closed for the Christmas holidays. It can be one that a store will send to customers as well. What to Include in a Christmas Closure Email? If you need to create a Christmas closure email you can keep in mind the following points:

If you want to learn how to set up your OOO message with a self-hosted email, you can follow our quick guide called How to Create Email AutoResponder in cPanel.

I hate to break it to you, but I’m on annual leave until [end date] and will have limited access to my emails until then.
