should you give Muslim neighbours a Christmas card?

[grannyinapram]

YABU
you shouldn't as they don't celebrate
YANBU
you should or else its excluding them

Do they give you a card for Ramadan or Eid?

I give my Muslim colleagues Christmas cards, just as I do for everyone else. They appreciate the kind gesture.

If your friends/friendly with them then yes. I've had Muslim neighbours and friends give me gifts & cards even though they dont celebrate it.

I would.

If christmas cards are in your culture then do it.

Being Muslim doesnt mean being mortally offended by well intended gestures from another culture.

If you would usually give your neighbours a Christmas card then I would.

Give a 'seasons greetings' card perhaps?

I give a generic seasons greetings card.

I’ve done it to friends, colleagues and acquaintances over many years.
I just avoid religious scenes and phrases.
For most people, it’s a secular festival based around family.

Is it a Muslim practice to give cards for those holidays?

I guess it depends on your relationship with them to an extent as well as their faith. The vast majority of Muslim families I've known have been happy for their children to take part in Christmas activities at school etc, some send cards and I've not known any to be offended at receiving them.

If you know them well enough to consider giving them a card, then give the card. I imagine they would appreciate the thought and you can just write something neutral inside such as "Wishing you a happy holidays and here's to a better New Year".

My Muslim neighbour gives me a Christmas card & I give one back, I wouldn’t send a religious one but there are plenty of nice cards to choose.

Muslims don't usually give cards on Eid as it's not really a custom. Some people do buts its not as common as Xmas cards.

All the muslims I know celebrate Christmas, as in it's a holiday/family time.

If you're friendly with them anyway then I would.

I think some muslims do celebrate. I would give them a card. Maybe write, we hope you get some fun family time or chance to relax this month. Rather than "have a lovely Christmas" or whatever.

I do. They gave me food at Eid and it was such a lovely, thoughtful gesture. We give them mince pies and a Christmas card at Christmas in return. I think it’s a lovely part of living in a multicultural country to share parts of one another’s celebrations.

Christmas is haram for Muslim people. Why would it be excluding when they can't celebrate anyway

I have a lot of Muslim friends. Literally every single one of them celebrate Xmas and exchange cards. I’d give them one, but wouldn’t necessarily expect one back

Yep and a nice box of biscuits or sweets

A muslim friend of mine is the most Christmas-mad person I know. She’s always first to give out cards, loves decorating, buying presents, enjoying Christmas events etc. I always give her a card.

Do you have children? Have you /they written cards for their class?

I give our Muslim friends a Christmas card and they have always said that they appreciate being included in the celebrations. They have a Christmas tree at home and FC leaves presents for their son too. My last employer was Muslim and he didn't celebrate Christmas at home but went all out at work with a tree and an office Christmas dinner/gifts, he loved us all to be part of it. There were always treats and food at Eid too. Like a pp said, it's lovely to share in the events that are important to others.

My Muslim aunty sends me a Christmas card every year.

I send my Christian neighbours cards and a chocolate box at Christmas and twice a yr at Eid I send a plate of sweet treats that we've baked. Never got anything from them on either occasion but that's fine with me.
