Greetings to non-Christian friends

[divinefaith]

A curious question- do you guys send greetings to your non-Christian friends?

e.g. Eid Mubarak to Muslim friends or Happy Hannukah to Jewish friends

I try to track and remember the Jewish feasts and days, and send out a general greeting as I don’t have the pleasure of having Jewish friends in “real life.”

I have in the past but I’m lousy at remembering much of anything besides Christmas. And I send Christmas cards to non-Christian friends & relatives - no one has complained yet.

Well wishes and greetings are really not contingent on religion, is it?
it thought that’s why companies came up with “Happy Holidays” cards.

I wouldn’t pigeon hole my friends.

Pretty much my default as well. I just send out Happy Holidays during the holiday season since it’s a safe catch all for all religions and even non-religions (since many of the holidays are either secular or have a secular component).

I don’t really have Muslim friends, just distant acquaintances. However, I find it useful to know the Islamic holidays.

I say Happy Hanukkah to everyone, even Christians. If a Christian or cultural Christian were to get offended, I would say “Jesus is Jewish.”
