Tips for Hanukkah messages

• Use the classic greetings: Happy Hanukkah and Chag Sameach (happy holiday) are always right.
• Mention the eight nights: light, candles, latkes and family time make a message feel festive.
• Keep work notes simple: a thank-you and a wish for a bright, peaceful holiday is plenty.
• Send it in time: Hanukkah starts at sundown, so a message on the first afternoon arrives for the first candle.
