If you’re in a rush or just not sure what to write use some of these out-of-office email examples in your next auto-response email message.
I can’t remember if this was just an outgoing voice message before routing you to an individual, or for a voicemail, but I remember a fun December phone message from a small company (I think an insurance agency) sung to the tune of a Christmas carol–something like Jingle Bells.

Other than the tune, it wasn’t overly holiday-centric (for those who don’t celebrate the holidays) and it was cute.
