[quote=Anonymous]We have friends of many faiths (or no faith at all) and want to recognize the spirit of the season without hoisting my beliefs upon them. For my close family, I send religious cards since I know they are Christian. Other's get general season's greetings cards.  And although you call it "Christmas time", it really is a holiday season with many celebrations.  
Hanukkah varies a little each year. This year it was Nov 27 - Dec 5.  It will begin Dec 16 next year and will end (shock) Dec 24.
Eid al-Adha varies year to year as well. It was October this year, but was in Dec in 2006, 2007, and 2008. 
Diwali varies year to year as well (Oct/Nov).  It was Nov 3 this year.
Kwanza is always Dec 26-Jan 1. 
If you want to keep Christ in your Christmas, go ahead. We keep Christ in Christmas in my house - it's not all about Santa and gifts.  But you should recognize that not everyone is Christian, so sending a Muslim or Jew a "Jesus is Born!" card is ignorant and insensitive.  Wouldn't you find it odd for them to send you a Hanukkah or Ramadan card?[/quote]
