I think I see the problem here.
LOL. Exactly.
I can’t tell you how fast I would not attend a party like this. The lecturing tone of this invite as well as the list of don’ts like you’re a child is nauseating.
How ‘bout just skipping the party altogether and giving us the afternoon off. Much more enjoyable that way.
....or you can call it a Christmas party and attendance is optional.
Doesn’t #2 contradict what they say they want to achieve? Because if the point is to not be a celebration of any particular holiday or tradition, why then the need to “educate” anyone about other faith traditions or other holidays??
Its like they contradict their own criteria as they establish their non holiday holiday celebration.
Even in my very liberal and very diverse office, this would probably be laughed at.

As a former professor that is what is known as a professional fail.
Here’s a tip” give the Muslims a day off. And lock the doors if they show up outside the party.
~Avoid religious symbolism, such as Santa Claus, evergreen trees or a red nosed reindeer...
Saint Rudolph?
Anna Ryan’s Email address is . . . unfortunate.
Why?
Do Muslims have to make Ramadan all-inclusive?
Do Hindus have to make Diwali all-inclusive?
Do Jews have to make Hanukkah all-inclusive?
So why do Christians have to make Christmas all-inclusive?
If non-Christians feel left out, too bad. Go find your own holiday and celebrate that. Don’t try to change our culture or ruin it for the majority.
I think it's a safe bet to say, not a Trump voter.
Anything even remotely resembling “fun” or a “party” appears to be missing from both approaches.
Like most lefty academics, the approaches are joyless, sterile and duller than death.
When planning December office parties have plenty of booze and offer large bowls filled with condoms. Merry Christmas! that coincide with the Christmas season, it is a challenge for event organizers to make celebrations "all-inclusive."
Sorry, I do not find “Festivus” funny at all. It is an attempt to water down and squelch the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ.
The same mindset that forces participatory celebration of Gay Pride Month.
Are you trying to trigger a jihadist and his wife?
