You're just jealous because you didn't think of it first... I upmoded you, too though. :) Regardless, it's still a nice thing to do, don't you think?

Nice, but since the holiday in question is Christmas you might as well say it.

what about Hanukkah and the Winter Solstice? Also, the whole month of December is kind of a celebration of consumption in America. ;)

If you send out your notice on the evening of December 24th it's not for Hanukkah.

I think it's more productive to acknowledge all holidays and get 24% more audience, instead of going to extra effort to be sectarian in your good will.

There are plenty of people like me out there, for instance. My family celebrated christmas at this time of year when I was younger. I still feel like having a happy holiday right around now, but I don't connect with any of the Jesus stuff. Thanks to the original poster for wishing me a happy non-christmas-holiday-that-I-celebrate-around-the-same-time-as-christmas (on mine, I get to argue with people on the Internet!).

I feel your point has been thoroughly dismissed now. Happy holidays anyway!
