Best practices
The 24th evening or the 25th morning
A message sent during Christmas Eve dinner stands a good chance of only being read the next day. The morning of the 25th often works better, except for families who celebrate on the evening of the 24th.
Adjust to how close you are
An identical message sent to your whole list gets noticed. For people close to you, one specific sentence changes everything; for everyone else, a simple sincere wish is plenty.
Frequently asked questions
Is it better to send on the 24th or the 25th?+
It depends on the person: the evening of the 24th for those who celebrate then, the morning of the 25th for everyone else, when the phone is checked calmly.
Can you put emoji in a Christmas SMS?+
Technically yes, but a single emoji drops the limit from 160 to 70 characters, so the message risks being split into several parts.
