Forumosaurus Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Would you? I mean those at work, in the office, do you wish them happy Christmas? Do you get them a secret Santa? Do you write them a card? Just interested to know because I'm not clued up on the etiquette of this. I mean I'd say most people now days see Christmas as a festival which doesn't much concern religion anyway so, what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I see Christmas as a giving celebration rather than receiving. I don't and I've never thought of Christmas as a religious event, but that doesn't stop me sending the odd card to people close. It's also for me a time to chill for a while knowing that the vast majority are doing the same, although that's becoming less frequent these days...more's the pity really. I have friends of many faiths who send me wishes or cards...I don't question their motives, that would somehow lack style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowersfade Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 i'm jewish we do not celebrate xmas day however me and my friends inc a muslim swap gifts and cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartown Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes I would. After all, you're not trying to proselytize - merely telling them that you hope they enjoy the day (and surely they're entitled to do that irrespective of their religion - or lack thereof?)

spooky3 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I don't waste paper or kill trees! Bah humbug! But I always wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year, even though i'm atheist, but I like to spread good positive cheer! Have Fun!

Nothing wrong with wishing well to others regardless of their religion. When the Muslims in our office are celebrating Eid, some of them bring in some fantastic Asian food.
