Happy Holidays to everyone with a nice non-religious symbol like a snowman.

Re: Interfaith families: holiday question

I really want to send interfaith card every year, but 1) they're expensive, and 2) by the time I look they are sold out... so I am going to start looking now.

Re: Interfaith families: holiday question

Christmas cards to the Christians, Happy Holidays to everyone else.

I just bought the "generic" Happy Holidays cards from the Christmas Store in Sunrise a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to find pretty non-cheesy cards that have no religious symbolism at all.

The ones I found are blue and white with a snowman and red cardinals flying around. They're really cute. Chat Icon

In the past, we have done both 1) Hannukah cards for Jewish and Christmas for Christian and 2) We have sent interfaith Cards to both.

If Im able to find cute interfaith, then I send those cards.

We send christmas cards to my family. His family does not honor any of the jewish holidays and have never made me feel welcome so they get what they give!

If I can find cute interfaith cards, I send those. If I cant, then I look for ones that say Happy Holidays.

We use to send Christmas and Chanukah cards out...then we started celebrating "Crismicka" so we had cards made that say Happy Crismicka and send those to most people who we feel won't be offended and then we send the more religious cards to those that would appreciate them instead.

Jenn, to answer your ?...your card is just the cutest thing I've ever seen...but I would wait until you guys are married to send "couple" cards.

We've been sending out cards together for years, but i think this one si so cute. I hope they still have it when we do get married!

I'll have to find something else for this year.

Re: Interfaith families: holiday question

The interfaith cards are so expensive though. In previous years we went to get individual cards for family. Hallmark doesn't sell boxed interfaith cards, but 30% of their loose hanukkah cards are interfaith
