Holiday Texts/BBMs

What�s the etiquette on holiday texts/BBMs? If I get a mass text from someone with holiday wishes, I generally don�t reply. You shouldn�t be sending out a mass text and expecting an individual reply. But if someone messages me individually, I will reply to them.

How do you guys handle this?

Sincere ppl get sincere replies and mass SMS msgs get template reply.

i don't send mass messages except to my sales team at work as what i had to say was meant to be said to the entire group.

It is impossible to send an individual message to everyone who deserves it however I do the best I can. Those that don't get a message is probably because I didn't think to send one. No hard feelings are intentioned.

Sincerity is essential in this world and unfortunately too much of it has disappeared in recent times.

You also just combo a template in, change the person's name.

Reply to individual msg:
Thanks, I salute you with a great Christmas as well. Best wishes to you, your family and all your loved ones. Hope you get everything you wanted plus even more, as you deserve. If I don't get the chance to speak with you before New Years, have a great one of those as well. Take care, be safe, see you soon.

Reply to mass msgs:
Fuck you I converted to Islam.

I reply if I feel like it, and don't if I don't. Just because you don't reply to someone's text, or even send a Christmas card in the mail, doesn't mean you wish a person poorly on Christmas!

Yeah, I agree. I mean, if you send someone a text, you don't expect a reply right away or ever since they are probably with family and not on their phone.

If i have time I reply. I like getting the messages tho, even if they are a canned message.

I'm guilty of sending mass texts on christmas. And I get my fair share as well. I don't send them expecting a reply. If I get one, that's nice. And sometimes it will spark conversation. Either way, I send the message to people I care about. I'd rather send a small msg sending Christmas cheer than sit there ignoring my family for an hour while I type out individual texts that essentially say the same thing.
