I love this! I don’t think its annoying at all– its literally sharing the mission of your work.
I think there must have been a discussion about this here in December, because when I recently came to set my OoO recently there was some previous wording along the lines of “I will be spending time with my family during the festive season and will not be checking my email until (date)”.
