What should I write on this postcard to my friend/former coworker?
Ha ha, I know what you mean -- I loathe writing holiday postcards! I'm quite happy to send someone a card, but it's such a waste of holiday time trying to think what to write on the blasted thing!! Anyway, how about saying you are having a lovely time wherever it is, and then mention a couple of sightseeing trips you've been on, then put the food/weather is great. Use nice large handwriting so it fills the space!

As a Muslim would you be offended if I gave you a Christmas card?
Not at all, in fact I would be happy.You see, I was born and brought up in 1970s Britain. Back then, there was no shame in being Christian, as society was much more socially conservative, and everyone celebrated Christmas openly as both a religious occasion and as a cultural tradition.As Muslims, we did not celebrate Christmas from a religious perspective, but did celebrate it as a tradition, complete with Christmas tree, Christmas dinner (with halal turkey), Christmas crackers (the ones you break to get the little toy inside), gifts to and from Christian and non-Christian friends complete with Christmas cards. We used the holidays to visit friends and family, as is Christmas tradition.I remember those times very fondly and with affection. It saddens me that Christianity has taken less of a role in modern British society, and in some instances promoting Christmas as a religious occasion is frowned upon by some in society, despite the fact that other religious occasions such as Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah are not.Don’t get me wrong - I’m not a person reminiscing of the past with rose-tinted glasses. A lot of stuff was really bad then, such as racism and being called wog and Paki as a little boy, but Christmas was a special time. I am glad Britain is a more progressive society now, but also sad that Christmas has become less special to others on that journey too.
Small gift I can put in a christmas card?
I'm sending several Christmas cards to my friends and family in Germany. I'm planning to craft my own cards and would like to attach a small little gift to each card. The gift has to be very light and small enough to fit in a standard Card envelope. Any ideas?
Will Christmas Cards disappear eventually?
Hopefully not! But it's not an unreasonable concern. I recently wrote a blog post about adapting the Christmas card tradition to the modern age using the best of print and digital publishing. You can check it out here: Make homemade Christmas cards the new old-fashioned wayThe basic idea of the post is that there are some factors like time, cost, and environmental concerns that make mass producing paper cards a less-than-ideal option for some, but there is a way to find a balance between efficiency and thoughtfulness. A digital card can be meaningful, personalized, and well-designed, and you can use that card you design as a starting point for a physical homemade card for your close friends and family. There's a great tool called Lucidpress that has beautiful free templates for Christmas cards. The blog post talks about how you can use these templates for the above-mentioned strategy. Here is one of the templates, just to give you an idea:
Is it OK to send a Jewish friend a Christmas card?
I'm a non-observant Jew. That is, I am culturally Jewish, identify as Jewish, but am a non-believer and don't practice any religion.I get Christmas cards all the time and appreciate that my friends thought of me. I especially like the annual Christmas cards with photos of the family and kids and what people have been up to the past year.All things considered, I prefer Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays but Merry Christmas is fine. The more secular the better; I prefer if there is not a heavy religious message or image. But even then, I take it kindly -- it's nice to be thought of this time of year. They have their beliefs and I respect them.Conversely, to my Jewish friends and family I may send a Happy Hanukkah card, and to others I'll send Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays with a winter setting but no religious symbols (like decorated Christmas trees).
What should I buy my co-workers for christmas?
I would only give gifts to the people you like, if there are co-workers you don't like, then I don't see the point in giving a gift! For me, I got a box of Candy Canes, I'm going to give one to my boss, I know it's cheap, but I think it's different and sweet, and it is Christmas related, usually no one does anything for anyone else anyways in that place, so I don't see it as a big deal not giving everyone a gift!
