I unfailingly acknowledge receiving the card, but ask, "What Holiday was it you were celebrating? If it's Christmas, just say so! If it's Hannukah, 'Happy Hannukah' is fine with me.

I explained it thus, "I will cease saying Merry Christmas when I on Christmas Day I can apply for a passport, have my mail delivered, open a checking account, have my garbage collected, apply for a drivers liscence etc. So until then Merry Christmas to everyone."
