Q: Which stores or restaurants are giving a deal on holiday gift cards?
I want to buy gift cards this christmas,I'd just like to know if anyones has a promotion.
A: Denny's has, buy a $25.00 gift card & get a $5.00 for yourself.
Q: Where can I get Christmas Cards that say that it is OK to say Merry Christmas?
"It's Merry Christmas! Not Happy Holidays!"
"It is OK to say Merry Christmas to me. I will not be insulted."
"Keep Christ in Christmas!"
That is the general theme and tone I am looking for.
I am getting ready for next Christmas so most of the work will already be done when I pull them out of storage next year.
A: Yeah thats what I was going to say, make some cards. Its going to take longer to make them rather than going out to the store and buying them, but i mean you have a whole year. What your wanting them to say is not really what you would normally find inside a Christmas card so to get them just the way you want them you're most likely going to have to make them yourself. You could always do a search on yahoo and see what websites it brings up. Try something like 'funny Christmas Cards' or something like that.
Q: Do you exchange holiday cards and gifts with your coworkers, and do you feel pressured to do the same for them?
this new girl just started and she gave me a christmas card and signed it "love with her name"...I called her and thanked her, but felt her nice suggestion was bit weird. We're not F-ing family, cards and gifts don't mean that i have to be extra nice to you, ...I got inot an argument with one of the temps, the next day he give me a card. I wish them happy holidays but I don't like to give gifts or exchange things, feels like a bribe to get me to be nice to them
A: No. As you said, they are not family or friends. They are co-workers. A nice 'happy holidays' before Xmas is enough just before leaving for the holidays.
Just be professional.
Q: last year the President of USA sent Christmas cards stating happy holidays instead of merry christmas.?
He did this because it was a problem with the head of the very countries they are at war with to state Merry Christmas so the Presidnet had cards printed that stated Happy Holidays. Do you agree with him doing this? If not, you better send him a note telling him so, and for the Canadians, Prime Minister Harper is also NOT allowing Canada to use the Merry Christmas, and also Wendy's doesn't decorate, or McDonalds, or Burger King and I think its a damn shame to deprive children from those decorations . Do you agree?
A: Sometimes we are overly concerned about offending people. It's sad. The majority of people in this country still celebrate Christmas, but we can't offend the minority and have to say Happy Holidays. It's kind of silly. I understand the idea behind it, but still.
Q: christmas cards...is it ok to send them to family from you and your spouse?
so is it ok...if you live with your spouse but you are not engaged or married...to send xmas/ holiday cards to family and friends?
A: That is what they are for, send them to all, and if they take offense, too bad.
Q: Should I keep or throw out Christmas cards and others?
So, I've always wondered if people keep the cards they get for holidays or if they throw them away afterwards.
A: I've got cards dating back to 1964. They are useless junk, but they bring back wonderful memories.
Q: Do you like receiving Christmas cards?
I do if they say Merry Christmas. If they say Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings - they become trash quickly.
What do you do with the cards that avoid using the word Christmas?
A: Yes dear,
I love receiving and giving Christmas and Hanukkah cards.
I don't receive any cards that avoid saying the words Christmas on them unless they are from businesses, anyway Someone will hand write it in.
Merry Christmas dear.
Q: How soon can you send out Save the Date cards for an Anniversary Party taking place during a holiday?
My husband and I are planning an Anniversary Pary for New Year's Eve 2008. We originally eloped, so this 5 year mark will also include a Vow Renewal ceremony. We are expecting the majority of his guests to come from out of town, so we bookedeverything (banquet room, hotel rooms, etc.) at one venue. Because it's a holiday, and one many people plan for in advance, is one year advance too much notice for a Save the Date card? The idea is to include something in our Christmas cards.
Also, the ceremony itself is a surprise. We'd just like to invite our guests to a themed Anniversary Celebration, like "The Black & White Affair," where guests would dress is black and white. How would we word something like that?
A: They are generally sent at least 4-6 months prior to the event but, if you are planning a destination event, such as an island or another country, it is strongly recommended that you send them 12 months in advance if not longer. For seasonally busy and tourist locales or on or around a holiday it is best to send them 9-12 months in advance. Your guests will then have ample time to make all the necessary arrangements needed to be a part of your special celebration and may even extend it into a vacation of their own.
Here are some guidelines on what your cards should state, your names, date of celebration, city or town and state of where it will take place. Also, because Save the date Cards are a recent trend and many that have not attended a wedding, or other event, recently they may mistake them for the actual invitation, so be sure to include something along the lines of, "Invitation to follow", "Invitation and details to follow", "Invitation will follow" this is usually placed at the bottom of the card.
If you need to keep your guest list to a minimum, make a list of close family and friends whom you want to make sure will be able to attend and mail them a Save the Date Card, you do not need to send Save the Date Cards to everyone you are inviting but, every guest that receives a Save the Date Card must also receive an invitation.
You many want to consider sending them separately from your Christmas cards. That is an extremely busy time of year for the postal system and many cards get lost and because people are so busy, some cards don't get opened. An idea would be to send a "Happy New Year" card this year (an unexpected surprise in their mailbox). "One year from today we will celebrate our 5th anniversary and would love for you to join us" - something along those lines.
Strictest etiquette tells you not to include information about attire on your invitation, but this is more often than not being considered an outdated opinion. Guests appreciate clues about how to dress, and are not as instinctively knowledgeable as they used to be.
Are you looking for guests to simply wear black and white clothing or do you mean a black tie event? If just black and white clothing, simply include a simple statement: "Semi-formal "Black and White" attire requested"
If you are having a formal affair, you can just state "Black Tie" or slightly less formal, but peopel will get the idea it's a fancy party, "Black Tie Optional"
There are many options - Semi-formal, cocktail attire, festive attire, creative black tie, white tie, dressy casual, informal.
Have fun planning your special day!
Q: Looking for an online "CHEAP" site to make holiday cards with photo.

Q: If you were a boss and were sending holiday cards to your workers, what design would you want on them?
Snow flakes? Christmas trees? Presents? Candy canes? Doves? Snowmen? Arctic animals? (etc.)
Would you want the cards to have a cute look, sophisticated look, humorous look, simple look, colorful look, etc.
Lastly, would you prefer a card with artwork on it or a photo of something like trees, snow, etc.?
please give me your honest answers! Thanks!
A: Wow! You are planning early! First, it depends on your employees. How many employees? Size of business? Types of people they are? Type of business?
For instance, if you owned a music store and all your employees are young, alternative types you might want something modern, artsy and graphic. If your employees are day care teachers maybe something cute and sweet. Just to be safe unless you know your employees well, you might want to stay away from anything too religious, like baby Jesus, doves, crosses, as this would offend the non-religious people, or anything too Santa Clausish, elves, as this might offend either very religious people. To be safe, you should select something that is heart-felt, but not mushy or cutsy for as a boss you don't want to be thought of as immature or silly. I'd stay away from cartoons and humor (humor can be misunderstood sometimes). I'd go for simple, colorful, sophisticated, modern art work with a very all-inclusive saying like "Happy Holidays" this covers all the holidays, Christian, Jewish, Kawanza and wouldn't make anyone feel excluded. UNLESS of course, the business and employees are religious.
It really depends on the type of business and type of employees you have.
Q: Should single guys send out Christmas cards? ?
I've sent cards to family in the past and when I visit for the holidays my cards are never on display as opposed to the other people in my family. My handwriting is poor but the cards are usually fairly nice. Is there something pathetic about single guys sending out cards?
A: I think that would be nice. You have good manners and exhibit kindness. The world is in need of those traits. Do it.
Q: Distribution of generic holiday/season's greeting cards?
This may be a dumb question but when is it inappropriate to distribute holiday cards? The cards will not reference Christmas at all but have a generic message. Is it appropriate to distribute them to those of the Jehovah Witness and the Jewish faiths? Or would it be considered offensive? What about other religions or nonreligions?
Please enlighten me. Thanks.
It's not about MY religion. I'm not offended if someone tells me Merry Christmas. It's about THEIR religions and I don't want to upset anyone through ignorance. My question really is... is it ok to give generic holiday cards to anyone or are there certain exceptions?
A: Well, in general, giving a Non Christmas card, for Christmas, isn't quite proper.
Q: Still EX-changing holiday cards???
I have been with my boyfiend for almost 2 /12 years and we are also moving towards getting engaged.
Early on in our relationship, we had some turbulance because two of his ex-girlfriends began to actively pursue him when they found out that he was getting serious with me. They would call him, send him cards for very occassion, etc. It really caused tension between he & I, because I knew that they had motives and I felt that he was perpetuating their interest by always responding to their calls, exchanging cards w/them still, etc.
I am not a controlling person, but I did ask him to please cut them both off, because of their unresolved feelings for him. They obviously were still trying to stay in his life for the wrong reasons.
Well, it's the holidays and by no means was I snooping, but I saw his Christmas Cards about to go out (he owns a small business) for clients & some personal contacts, and sure enough one of his exes was on there.
Should I be upset? I feel it......
One answerer is right, I do need to remain secure, and trust, but because I already stated that this bothered me (him accepting calls/mail from his exes) I am still bothered.
Recently, he said that he is not communicating with either one anymore. He knows it was a hot button. Why the company christmas card then? No sig, no notes, but the thought. These girls were stating their regrets and deep feelings; they weren't just being friendly. I know that he loves me very much and wants to marry me- he said if he wanted to back to either one, he easily could have by now.
As I stated, I don't want to be insecure and mistrusting- but I don't want someone who's heart is still in the past......
I love him and really want to marry him. What do I do? How can I approach this without looking psycho?
A: Well, he didn't respect your wishes, and for that you should be upset.
But it's just a Christmas card--not a love letter by any means. Of course, I'm assuming it was a generic card. You are the one getting engaged to him, not her. As long as you trust him, it should not be an issue. However, if you find other cards going out to his ex, then you should address the issue.
If it were me, I would've been tempted to add my name at the bottom of the card (Happy Holidays, from Joe & Jane). ;o)
Q: What should I write in the Christmas cards we send to our customers?
We own a small auto repair shop & really want to show our appreciation and wish them a happy holiday season.
A: How about: Merry Christmas from your friends at "Business name"
