I've been emailing friends and guys I'm in communication with to wish them a Merry Christmas. Invariably I get a response of some kind, but no Merry Christmas in return.

Does wishing someone a Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday or whatever have some significant meaning to men that I am missing?

Individualized holiday greetings are a custom that is fading away. Most of the folks on my Christmas card lists are older relatives and friends.

I'm not active in eH right now, but I would not go out of my way to send holiday messages to my matches. It just wouldn't even occur to me to do that.

If that's what you're asking.

If you were in communication, but hadn't met yet and you got an email wishing you a Merry Christmas, would you return the wish or just ignore it and comment on other parts of the email?

I'm not dating or receiving Matches, but if I were in communication, and they sent me a Merry Christmas, I would certainly return the message.

Maybe they're going to be alone on Christmas?

I hear on the news some people don't like to say it. They'd rather say "Happy Holidays".

It takes all kinds.....

Hey VB_Girl! Merry Christmas to you!

The few people I've sent emails with Merry Christmas in them have responded in kind. Only one I haven't told Merry Christmas is my Jewish guy friend... but he really like the Christmas card I gave him. I wished him Happy Hanukkah a week ago.

I expect I would ignore this, myself.

I do not really have attachment to holidays.

Certainly.

However, this brings up something I had not considered. I've never been active in eH through a holiday period and I guess I will plan not to be in the future. But if I was, and a match sent a holiday greeting, I imagine I'd reply (if I was able) to say that I'll be back in touch after the holidays.

I imagine that most people take a breather from their matches through the holiday period... right?

Of course not.

In my temporary state of insanity I emailed my ex-EH match (four dates) from last year...wishing her a Merry Christmas and just letting her know I came across an article about her church and that I had her in mind when I read it.

Yeah...crazy I know.
