The challenge lies not just in finding the right words and avoiding clichรฉs, but in matching your messageโs tone to the relationship and format. โThinking about you this holidayโ might sound odd if addressed to your manager, for example, but perfectly fine for that friend you secretly wish were more than a friend.
