Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings: As with anything addressing religion, you've got to be careful not to offend anyone—and, if you do, not to leave anyone out.

Companies that specialize in commercializing holy days and holidays alike, and are sensitive to consumer needs, have gone to great lengths with the language to find the right balance. American Greetings, Hallmark, and niche-marketers like the MixedBlessing Company, all have figured out how best to extend greetings with multicultural cards during this season some call Chrismukkah. "The essence of these cards is not about interfaith households as much as it is about friends and family members of different faiths acknowledging the different holidays that they all celebrate," said Shalanda Stanley, a Hallmark product manager, in an interview with ABC News.

So, in the true spirit of the celebrations that are most important to our three regular readers this holiday season, and with the kind permission of social commentator, wordsmith and syndicated cartoonist, Andy Singer, we wish you all a Happy Hanukwanzmas.
