Do your family cards say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?

We are Christian and would much prefer to send a card that says merry Christmas, but live in New York where a lot of the recipients are Jewish or a different religion. Should we stick to happy holidays to be PC? Is it appropriate to send a merry Christmas card to someone who obviously does not celebrate Christmas?

If you want to say merry Christmas just send it to your Christian friends. I find it odd to be wished merry Xmas when I dont celebrate. I dont mind wishing others merry Xmas but I dont want to be wished merry Xmas.

You do whatever you want. We personally say Happy Holidays because we are Agnostic leaning Atheists but enjoy all sentiments we receive.

Say what you want. Im Jewish and send Seasons Greetings or Happy New year cards. I am never offended if someone sends me a Merry Christmas card.

If you want to wish people a Merry Christmas, just leave the different religions off of the recipient list.

I'd say "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". People can ignore the Christmas part.

You celebrate Christmas, so there's that.

I've gotten a "Happy Diwali" card from Indian friends and I have never once thought "but I don't celebrate Diwali". Normally I think "oh how nice".

Our card said merry Christmas. I didn’t think too much of who would be receiving it, our friends. They know there’s no intention or ill will. We’re not trying to convert them lol.

I have Merry Christmas and send a different card to our non-Christian friends

I am Jewish and prefer a Happy Holidays card because I feel like there should be room for NOT celebrating Christmas...but I do not think ill of all the people who send me a Merry Christmas card.

We're Christian but our cards say Happy Holidays because that feels more inclusive for everyone on my list.

Our cards say happy holidays. I literally only say merry Christmas on Christmas Eve and day.

Christmas is one holiday during the winter months. It's celebrated one day. On that day I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. My cards say Happy Holidays because that covers Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, Diwali, etc.

We say happy holidays because there are so many celebrated at this time of year.

I'm an atheist and my cards say Merry Christmas. I send them to all friends and family, even those who are Muslim and Jewish. I know they all celebrate Christmas to a certain degree because they are my friends and family members and I know them. I don't send Christmas cards to people who I don't know well.
