Or to wish them a Merry Christmas? A person that I know says it isn't disrespectful or rude but I say it is.

I don't think so. If they are your friends, then they should just be happy to know that you were thinking about them during the holidays. I send everyone the same card, because *I* am celebrating Christmas and thinking of them. I don't try to find anything neutral, I just get what I like. I am a Christian and am celebrating Christmas, so I refuse to pick one that just says 'holidays'. If I ever had someone ask that I not send them a Christmas card, then obviously I wouldn't. That has never happened. Actually, people that do not celebrate Christmas will usually respond with a quick note or letter wishing ME a Merry Christmas and catching up on what has been going on in their lives. I wouldn't worry about that at all - just send them what you like. :)

I'd be less worried about offending people. If your Jewish friends know you're Christian or at least celebrate Christmas, then they should understand you're not going to make another expense out of spending more money on cards that are themed especially for them. You could always write in the card, happy holidays or happy hannukah (sp). I think everyone pretty much accepts the idea that Christmas trees are holiday-ish. They even decorate malls with them. You never see menorahs or anything like that. Oh, guess they're called "holiday trees" by some people. You can always pass it off as being that.

Rude Xmas Cards

If I know someone is Jewish, I'd send him/her a Hanukkah card or wish him/her a happy Hanukkah if I see this person. If I don't know what a person's religion is, I'd say Merry Christmas.
If I'd say Merry Christmas to someone and he/she corrects me and says he's/she's Jewish, I would then say Happy Hanukkah. I don't mean to be disrespectful or rude at all.

Saying Merry Christmas is not bad. I know practicing Jews who say Merry Christmas.
Sending a Christmas card to a Jewish person, however, is tacky.
Anyhow, it's not anti-Christian to say Happy Hanukkah either.

I don't think it is rude to send them Christmas cards.
It would be more rude, in my opinion, to exclude them. They likely know that you are a Christian, just as you know that they are Jewish.
Instead of wishing them a Merry Christmas, you could wish them a Happy Hannuka or Happy Holidays.

so many Happy Holiday cards to choose from that it's silly to send anything else. Jewish ppl celebrate this time of year so yes send Happy Holiday mssg. Sending Merry Christmas
isn't so much rude as it is ignorant.

It is disrespectful because they celebrate Hannukah, not Christmas. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. The proper thing to do is to send a card that says "Seasons Greetings" or "Happy Holidays."

Send a Happy Hannuka (spelling??) card or a Happy Holiday card...don't send a "Merry Christmas" greeting card.
