It's that time of year. And as I go through my address book, I realize I have four Jewish people, 2 Muslims and an atheist I would also like to send cards to.
I purposefully bought a few extra cards that don't mention Christmas to send to people that I know don't celebrate it (although they are still kind of Christmas themed, I couldn't get away from that). I'm curious though, what's the protocol for people who may or may not celebrate Christmas, but you aren't sure? I don't want to alienate my friends, but some of them are just acquaintances, and I am one of those people who sends a card to everybody (unless someone has really, really pissed me off, like my landlord).
I'd love to hear from both sides, people who celebrate Christmas and people who don't.
PLEASE do not turn this into a religious debate, I just want to know if I am doing the right thing.

We have the same issue. We're actually making our own cards this year, so they didn't have reference to holidays at all (well, barely). My feeling is, a card is a nice thing to receive, particularly when everything is online nowadays, and good friends won't get offended and will know that a card is meant to say "hi and you're important to me" not "I demand you celebrate the same holidays I do".

How about the generic "Happy Holidays" card? I think maybe even a "thinking of you" card or a friendship card would be nice. They may not celebrate the same holiday but I think they would appreciate you taking time to recognize the friendship. Or you could do nothing at all and they probably wouldn't even notice. LOL
