Just have to share how snopes.com is attempting to discount this movement.
Claim: E-mail proposes an effective scheme for overwhelming the ACLU's operations with Christmas cards.
Status: False.
Origins: This piece first began circulating at the tail end of 2005, during the so-called "War on Christmas" controversy...
It is based on the erroneous assumption that the ACLU engaged in litigation and related tactics to pressure businesses and other entities into dropping the use of the word "Christmas"...
Above all, perhaps, one might consider whether engaging in deliberate deception and attempting to sabotage an organization's operations over a chimera isn't the antithesis of what Christmas (and Christianity itself) is supposed to be about.

Why would a Jew send a Christmas card to anyone?

many, if not a majority, of the ACLU'a leadership (at both the national and state level) is comprised of secular Jews. Send them Chanukah cards. Try to find Chanukah cards that show the huge public menorahs from all over the world.

I hate to break this to you, but many, if not a majority, of the ACLU'a leadership (at both the national and state level) is comprised of secular Jews.Even more of a reason to send them Christmas cards!

Actually, I do give Christmas cards to my Christian friends, and I make a habit of telling everyone I see during the Christmas season "Merry Christmas," since it's a safe assumption that most people you see in public will be Christian. And being Jewish, if someone says "Merry Christmas" to me, I smile and give them a big, "Thank you! And Merry Christmas to you too!" I can't imagine why people would get upset when someone wishes them a Merry Christmas, especially a stranger who would never know that you're NOT Christian. Unless they're just looking for something to get upset over.
My Christian friends who know I'm Jewish do wish me a Happy Hanukah.

I must be thick-skulled... I have never understood how it is possible to be a "secular jew"... anyway, send them Happy Hanukkah cards too. That should do it!

You're my kind of person! My best friends are jewish (I'm a convert at heart if not in form) and they do not get offended when people wish them Merry Christmas...it's a way of showing appreciation to people and not a curse!
