No "Merry Christmas" - VF

It seems that it is un-PC to say "Merry Christmas" in case you offend people who are not into Christmas. I find it quite strange (almost annoying) when everyone says "happy holidays" all the time (although not as strange as when everyone says 'happy mothers' day when you are not a mother - that has happened to me before when travelling here). At the Post Office they ask if you want 'holiday stamps' (BTW cards are normal price not a special 'cards only' price like in NZ, but more on that later); when you say yes you would like holiday stanps they ask 'which collection'? The Christmas ones have Christmas tree ornaments and snowmen etc on them, then there are 'Hannukah', 'Kwanzaa' and 'Eid Greetings' options. The Eid one looks like it is written in Arabic (which I would have thought would be un-PC, but maybe it is very correct to have that). I said 'Merry Christmas' to someone without even thinking at Jamie's work Christmas party and then thought 'oh, no; what if he is Jewish?'. Thankfully he was Catholic (most if not all of the partners are either Jewish or Catholic - a very interesting mix I would think).

Re: posting Christmas cards.... the ones we have are quite large (21cm x 17cm) and in NZ or Australia they would be more expensive to post as they are bigger than a letter, however as they are a rectangular size, and most importantly under 1oz in weight, they are a standard 37c to post. If you have a "non-regular" size, eg a small square envelope with dimensions of only 10cm x 10cm, then regardless of the weight you have to pay an extra 12c . We have a few to send that are smaller (to Jewish and Hindu people) and as I didnt have 49c stamps I just put the small cards inside the bigger envelope!
