Cleaner doesn’t celebrate Christmas

My very lovely cleaner mentioned today that she doesn’t celebrate Christmas. I’d normally give a card and a box of chocs as a small present. Would you do it anyway? Thinking of waiting until new year.

Thanks for all the views. It’s nice to come back to a range of opinions.

Since she's bothered to tell you she doesn't celebrate, you'd be being disrespectful to give her anything.
Just to clarify, I asked her if she was done with her Christmas shopping because that was where I was going and that was when it came up. It wasn’t like she was going out of her way to make it clear she didn’t celebrate Christmas.

I’ll get a thank you card and small present. I’ve realised it’s actually nearly been a year since she’s been coming so that can be my reason.
