Receiving an Xmas card from someone who previously sent Happy Holidays cards

For the last XXXX years I rec’d a Happy Holidays card from the non-Jewish Chief Elected Official of our town. This was not sent from Town Hall or at Town expense, but from his home address, and he addressed the cards and paid the postage.
He did not run for re-election this year. Today I received a Merry Xmas card from him.
He no longer needs Jewish votes (not that he ever received mine) so he is no longer sensitive to our feelings. In the past we’d display these cards from local politicians (including US Senators, Congressman and Governor) and businesses in the office waiting room as a form of ‘free’ advertising. My Roman Catholic Italian-American receptionist opened the card, marked the envelope trash and put it in the junk mail pile. My younger daughter tends to look through that pile while having morning coffee then throws it all in the shredder.

We do much of our business with Non-Jews, but do not send holiday cards. We also do not hold a holiday party for clients…..we publish a small advertisement in the local town paper saying that in lieu of holiday celebrations, our firm is donating to the local food and clothing bank to aid all area residents in need as cold weather sets in.

Why do you write words that were NEVER posted?

Neither the OP or myself said the card came from a ‘Friend.’

Some businesses, professionals, neighbors and politicians send greeting cards this time of the secular year.

Those who do not live their entire life in a self imposed ghetto are likely to have some interaction with non-Jews in America and other places.

I don’t have a Jewish cleaning lady, I highly doubt one exists within 50 land miles of my home. Should I not open a card that comes from my cleaning person with her heartfelt wishes? No, I have good breeding, will open it, read it and when I see her I shall thank her for remembering me/us.

Not every business I can use for my personal and professional needs is or can be owned by a Jew. If my banker sends the CTL firm a holiday card wishing us a prosperous New Year and appreciating our business, should it just be tossed in the trash? NO

I know you work among Non-Jews as you have posted you teach in the NYC Public Schools, so you venture beyond the ghetto walls, learn to behave like a mentsch, you represent frum yidden to those who have little other interaction with us.
