The only neighbours who give us a Christmas card are the Muslim ones.

Same :)))

Yes I give them a Christmas card and a box of biscuits or chocolates and they give us a chocolates too for Xmas.

Also we give them chocolates for Eid and they normally give us something too.

We get on really well with our Muslim neighbours and respect each other's cultures

DontStopThinkingAboutTomorrow Most people we mix with regularly see Christmas and Easter as religious feasts - some more so than others. We are regular church attenders, our children went to faith schools so our ‘family friends’ tend to be church attenders too.

We live in a tiny village, where the church is central to village life.
Even when our children moved to boarding there were Carol services and a nod to the religious basis for Christmas.

Our families share a religious heritage, so all the cousins and wider family attend church at Christmas. I know very few people for whom it’s an entirely secular holiday. Even at work the majority would give a nod to the religious feast. Most people have cribs, many have Advent wreaths.

I can’t imagine celebrating Christmas without really knowing what was being celebrated. It would feel like taking children to a birthday party with no idea whose birthday it was; everyone singing happy birthday but not to anyone in particular.

I'd give a card which had a winter scene on it but didn't say anything about Christmas and id write 'happy holidays' or 'seasons greetings' in it or something... because you still get the day off work etc and they will probably still be having a family get together even if they don't celebrate Christmas...

Why would you do that?

The OP would be sending a card because they celebrate Christmas and to show they're sharing a bit of that joy around.

When I get Eid cards from neighbours (which I do every year), I fully expect to see Eid Murbarak written on the front. Not 'Happy Holidays' or anything else.

Just give them a Christmas card and stop overthinking. Nobody's offended by Christmas and if they are such delicate flowers that they take offence at an act of kindness, then that's their problem (disclaimer, they won't be offended).
