This particular message is too freakin long and it makes me watch it, too. Har har, thanks for wasting my time.
Many companies offer an escape option so that if a caller ends up in a staff member’s voice mailbox, he or she can “escape” out of the mailbox and go back to the attendant menu.

If you would like to return to the main menu, please press the # key.

“Thank you for the message. I am currently out of the office and will not be back until [date]. I shall reply to your message as I return. Should you require any immediate assistance, feel free to contact [person] at [phone number] in my absence. Have a wonderful holiday season.”
Don't leave your sender guessing. Let them know when you'll be out and the date you'll be back in the office — not when you're returning home.
