Yahoo! wanted to remind people who work hard all year that Yahoo! Mail can help them escape from reality and have fun during the holidays. Yahoo! makes it easy for customers to enjoy what matters most in their worlds and to get more out of life. The #SoOutOfOffice experiential campaign showcased the new Out Of Office features and Yahoo!
