<p>I concur with speckledegg. I find the choice of cards “off.” There are SO many warm, professional, appropriate cards that have a neutral season’s greetings or happy holidays cards – better to pick those. </p>
<p>BTW, the partner wanting a more religious card? That’s not appropriate either, IMO.</p>
<p>No, I don’t know that the partner wanted a more religious card, a poor choice of words on my part. I should have said generic cards.</p>
<p>I now understand the importance of keeping things more professional, but I do understand why my husband thought the cards would be ok. He has worked with these woman for over 10 years and does have a relationship with them that I believe in his minds would allow him to send this type of card. I also see his partner’s point of view, and being as the card was signed by the practice, his opinion does count. I guess it is unfortunate that the partner never took an interest in the card the last 10 year; it would have allowed the guys one less thing to disagree over this year!</p>
<p>Being that I have been out of the work force for 25 years, I really hadn’t put much thought into what would be appropriate, so thanks for opening my eyes just a bit. That said, if my daughter received one of these cards from her current boss, this family would still see the humor in it. Her boss is a great guy and she would take no offense to a card like the one my husband gave.</p>
<p>Maybe next year my husband would be really inappropriate and send his staff Hannukah cards instead; wonder what his partner would say to that!!!</p>
