Seasons Greetings?
Do you wish "Happy Chanukah" in the same way you wish "Merry Xmas"?
Do you wish someone "Happy Chanukah" in the same way you wish someone "Merry Xmas"? I have met some Jewish friends on my travels, and I wish to send them seasons greetings. But I'm unsure what to write. Thank you.
The Aish Rabbi Replies
If you'd like to send your friends greeting cards, they should say "Happy Holidays," "Season's Greetings," or "Happy Chanukah" - but not the name of other holidays like Xmas, Ramadan or Kwanzaa.
To make your life easier, many Jewish sites provide free, online holiday greeting cards.
