5. years ago, my Republican father taught me to say "Seasons Greetings"

and "Happy Holidays" when I wanted to buy religious Christmas cards--that was back in the days when you sent cards to everyone you ever met (and enrolled your daughter to hand-write addresses and messages). He told me he was sure that some people on his list were Jewish, and it was best to go with something indeterminate, because Christmas cards were supposed to make people feel good.

I don't think he'd be a Republican today.
