This is interesting to read. It does make me feel a little bad, though, because I do send out holiday cards. I try to get the holiday right if I know that someone celebrates Hanukkah or Solstice, but I don't always succeed. (I do make a note of it if I get it wrong, so I can fix it for next time.) And I frequently am late - well, last year I sent them in February, so I missed pretty much all possible Decemberish holidays. This year I've missed Hanukkah for most of my cards.

But I'm sending them out to let me friends know that I'm thinking of them, not particularly because I'm affiliated with any particular holiday. Should I not send cards to my Jewish friends? I don't want people to think that they're an afterthought, because they aren't; it's my traditional yearly "Yes, I'm alive" note to people. (And prior to LJ, this was sometimes the only time people heard from me every year.) But if it's going to be upsetting to people to get holiday cards, I certainly don't want to do it.

What do you think?
