Religious Christmas Card Greeting

Im making my Christmas cards now. They are for all family and friends. Some are not religious, or not Christian. What would be a good greeting? I dont like the tired "Happy Holidays". I was thinking "Have a Magical Holiday", do you like that? Or, is it ok to write "Merry Christmas" since Christmas is also a secular holiday (Santa, etc.)?
Clarification: Some friends are Jewish. Some friends and family may not be religious. I just want to make one version of the card, thats why I need a greeting that covers everyone.

I like magical holiday and might use that myself.thanks

Not all Christmases are happy. So if you have a friend who's having a terrible Christmas, what do you send them? Try one of these FIVE cards ...

throw them in the bin?

I don't think it's a 'sin'. I recycle mine.

This year I am really touched by those who've taken the time to mail me Christmas &/or Holiday cards (I have differing religious family observances). Cards are not as inexpensive as they used to be and it takes time to select, and write in them. I feel very loved when I receive them. And while it does take me time and effort to do the same, I get alot of joy from sending cards as well. My card list is way shorter now than it used to be. But I love this way of saying I Love You.

What do you all think when you get a card? Please stay kind in your answers, if you can. Thanks.

Just wondering - do you feel the same?
Thx Ozcar, Solomon, Jon, and Hannah, yes we agree on this one. You all had wonderful personal sharings here.

Dear Ambassador - If we didn't know the true meaning of Christmas, you have printed it out for us. Cards are a way of extending LOVE which is to me what JC is ALL about. So thanks for your sharing, but it makes me wonder if anyone ever sent you a loving blessing in card form in honor of the One Whose Birth we celebrate annually? If not, then so be it, this is your first official Card of the Christmas season. Peace to you and abundant blessings in the New Year. Enjoy your 2 pts.

Everyone else, enjoy your thumbs up :)

I give no thumbs down on this Q.

I do not have everyone,s mail address so let me just do it this way.

I hope and pray that everyone who reads this will have a great time during the holidays. That you will be safe,that you will be healthy, That you will be with those you love and who love you. Just try to remember during all the eating and present opening what Christmas is really all about.

When I think of the gifts, I try to remember that the greatest gift ever given happened over 2000 yrs ago when God gave his only begotten Son. John 3:16

When I think of all the wonderful food that will be eaten over the holidays I try to remember that Jesus told the disciples
in the upper room. As often as you do this do it in remembrance of me.

When i think of the beautiful trees all decorated with their ornaments, I try to remember that Jesus hung on a tree made into a cross for me that I might have life and have it more abundantly.

When I think of all the families gathered at this time of the year,I try to remember that I am now part of the Family of God.And that one day soon all this will be over with and I will be Home for Christmas for ever and ever.

I hope and pray that everyone has a Merry Christmas,

I have several non-Christian friends, but I also have several devoutly religious friends. What can I print in my cards that will cover everyone?

You can always offer a greeting of wishing them the best during the winter season or something.

Take a peek at greeting cards at the store or online to get some ideas and tweak them to fit you.

I've seen some wishing people a safe and healthy New Year, etc.
