As we head into Thanksgiving, I want to say thank you. This year asked a lot of all of us, and you showed up for each other and for our customers again and again. I'm grateful to work with every one of you. Please log off, rest, and enjoy the long weekend with the people who matter to you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is a good moment to say what often goes unsaid: thank you. For the late fixes, the patient reviews, the help nobody asked for, and the good humor through all of it. I'm thankful for this team. Enjoy the break, eat well, and leave Slack closed. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, team! I'm thankful for each of you, for green builds, and for the fact that nobody books meetings on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Go forth, eat pie, and please don't check Slack between helpings.
Official team policy for the long weekend: second helpings are encouraged, laptops stay closed, and any work talk at the dinner table is a policy violation. Thank you for a great year. Happy Thanksgiving!

Send it Wednesday morning
Plenty of people leave early on Wednesday. A message at 10 am gets read; one at 4 pm lands in an empty office.
Make the thank you specific
Thanksgiving is the one holiday about gratitude. Name one thing the team did this year, and it reads like you mean it.
Mind the long weekend
Most offices close Thursday and Friday. Tell people when you're all back, and don't schedule anything for Monday morning.
For team leads
The weeks around Thanksgiving are when half the team is out and nobody knows which half. Forgot puts everyone's time off, public holidays in every country and your release dates on one calendar, so you know who's covering before you log off.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026: always the fourth Thursday in November. Most offices close Thursday and Friday, and people are back on Monday, November 30.
Thank them for the year, ideally for something specific, and wish them a restful long weekend with their families. Two or three sentences is plenty. Ending with "please log off" is always welcome.
Keep it short and sincere: a thank you for their support or something you learned from them this year, and a wish for a good holiday. Skip anything that sounds like asking for something.
To your own team or coworkers, yes: a pie joke is harmless. For clients and people you don't know well, pick the warm or professional version.
