Holiday Gifting Etiquette question

[dmoney]

I would just give her a gift whenever you can. I am sure she will be more than thankful for it in general. Personally, when i have done gift exchanges in the past and there have been mixed religions (I am jewish, but have done secret santa type things with people who celebrate christmas as well) It was just done when everyone could get together.

Now, if you wanted to give it to her during Channukah, by all means do so. The holiday starts Sunday night at sundown and is over Sunday before Sundown.

I agree, I'd give it to her whenever you can. It's more about the thought than the timing.

I think either way is nice! If I had a jewish friend give me a gift during Hanukkah because they celebrated that, I would be touched. However, if they thought to give it to me at Christmas because I celebrate THAT I would also be touched

One of DS1's taekwondo instructors is Jewish. We just give him his gift at the same time as all the other instructors, usually in mid December.

+1 for whenever, it's more about the thought then the holiday.

Ehh the month of December is pretty much free range for gift giving, regardless of what you celebrate. I know I get gifts from vendors all month and we drop off gifts for teachers/security guards/friends whenever it's convenient.
