You speak of being a life long Christian and as such it seems that you better than many other people would unerstand the importance of christmas to christians and that anyone making claim that they may be offended or not be offended or understand is a lame execuse used by those people who are determined to end Christianity and/or Americans believe in God. to wit the call at the Democratic convention to remove God from the agenda.
I for one am becoming very annoyed with groups such As "Freedom From Reigion (Wisconsin based group) that petition the courts in Texas to prevent football cheerleaders who signage Bible verses
As my hero Popeye says"I can't stands no more."

As for cards coming to the office, I believe that it signifies a recognition by the senders that the office may not be totally made up of Christians and therefore the cards should simply celebrate a holiday season that is celebrated differently by different religions. It is usually considered good business to be as inclusive as possible. I would assume that you, as I, recieve many Christmas cards with religious themes, but you and I are known by our friends to be Christians. If someone sends me a secular or Santa themed card, I think no less of the sender or the message. while it is and will always be, true there are groups and individual athiests who will try to stir the pot, it may also be true that we Christians have used our majority position to make things occaisionally uncomfortable for folks of other persuasions. Popeye indeed said that, but he continued to be harassed by Bluto.
