Well, for the holidays, we don't have a welcome message, but we have a little doormat with a snowman on it.  I haven't really seen any holiday messages other than "ho ho ho."\n\nAs far as doormat messages in general, I saw a cute one for a rented home/apartment that said, "Rental, sweet rental."

I think you are sooooo right!  I think the only thing would be if you had friends that you knew were of another faith then you could be sensative to their religious beliefs and send them a generic card to wish them "Happy Holidays."  But if you celebrate Christmas then that's exactly what you should say... "Merry Christmas!"

Gifts\nGift giving is very important both business and personal situations \nStyle is everything. The gift itself is of little importance, the ceremony surrounding it is what matters. \nAlways wrap gifts. And choose the paper carefully, don’t give anything wrapped in white as it symbolizes death. Don’t use bright colours or bows to wrap the gift either. It is better to have the place you bought the gift to warp it to ensure that it is appropriate. \nGive your host some warning during the evening that you intend to give them a present. Don’t surprise your host. \nGive the gift with both hands and accept gifts with both hands. \nGenerally, gifts will not be opened while you are there. If your host insist that you open the gift they have given you, do so carefully. They take pride in gift wrapping, show that you appreciate the effort. \nDo not give gifts in odd numbers or the number four, odd numbers are bad luck and four sounds like the word for death in Japanese. \nGifts should be given at the end of a visit. \nDo not admire anything belonging to your host too closely. The Japanese love to please so you may end up taking it home as a gift. \nGood gift ideas are top choice beef, fruit and alcohol such as brandy, quality whiskey and wine \n\nGestures\nAvoid using large hand gestures, unusual facial expressions and any dramatic movements. The Japanese do not talk with their hands and to do so could distract your host. \nThe "OK" sign; in Japan it means money. Avoid using it \nDon’t point …or blow your nose in public \nDon’t crowd people or stand too close. Because the Japanese live in such a densely populated area, they value their personal space. \nA smile can have double meaning. It can express either joy or displeasure. Use caution with your facial expressions. They can be easily misunderstood. \n\n\nWhen meeting anyone in a business environment for the first time, it is customary to exchange "meishi" (business cards). You  should always present yours to the receiver using both hands to hold onto the corners as you pass it forward, stating your name and company as you do so. On receiving a person's meishi, accept it with both hands and then study carefully what is written on it. Very often business cards will have Japanese on one side and English on the reverse, so you should be able to understand what is written. If you are in a formal situation, it is proper to place the meishi face up on the table in front of you and refer to it as necessary. If it is in a less formal setting you may put the meishi away after looking at it, but please ensure to put it somewhere suitable. Just dropping it into a pocket maybe seen as rude.\n\nWhen visiting the office of a business associate, you will probably be shown into a meeting room and asked to wait. Most meeting rooms will consist of four or more chairs set around a table. As the honored guest it is important that you take the seat furthest from the door (although that maybe modified if it is a big conference style room) and you should stand up and bow or shakes hands when someone comes in the room. When receiving guests you would reverse the process, with you sitting on the side closest to the door, with the senior member of your party furthest from the door on your side. This "furthest from the door" approach also applies in most other situations, including restaurants, bars, taxis etc etc.\n\nWithin your own office life can be somewhat more relaxed although a certain amount of ceremony, involving lots of bowing and scurrying around, will be observed when senior managers are present. Generally though a nod of recognition is fine for those you work with, perhaps together with a comment on the weather or a similar subject. On arriving at your office in the morning a loudly spoken "ohaiyo gozaimasu" or "Good morning" should suffice with an equally loud "osaki ni shitsure shimasu" (literally "excuse my rudene

Be honest and straightforward. He probably already knows you aren't the wordsmith and anyone else's words won't be authentic. If you're really stuck, quote a poem, song  or movie line that you feel really explains your feelings. And call it out! \n\nLike "I'm not always the best with words, so I'll rely on the experts to express how i feel about you..." \n\nYou could even plan the song (if its a song) just as he opens the card to make it a little more fun.

A funny Christmas card and a gift card for strabucks, or some local cofee shop. nothing to personal but appropriate. I think this combo works well.  You could always switch the gift card with a place you know he likes, but coffee is usually a winner

Depends on how big the gift is. \n\nNo set rules but it's more special if you can add some sentiment, "Friends always-Pandora" or "Engraved in my heart-P" "Your friend-etc."

You can never go wrong with flowers! Especially roses. Write (or copy, if you prefer) a cute (preferably funny) poem. Have them delivered to her door by you or somebody else. =) Here's an idea for a card..."If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live a day without you" ... Oh, and don't forget the chocolate! yumm

One that is thoughtful and wouldn't normally buy myself. Take something that is happening with the person now. If someone was moving out for instance; maybe they'd like stuff to put in their new place. If someone recently graduated and is starting a new job, maybe a briefcase or engraved pen. Someone that is going on a trip in the new year may like new luggage, or a camera to take pix of the places they'd be visiting.

Off the top of my head (from the groom - can be altered if someone else is toasting the groomsmen):\n\n"Let us toast to these fine men and the lifelong friendship they have brought to me. May our bond only strengthen as this endearing friendship broadens to forever welcome my most wonderful and beatiful bride. Cheers!"\n\n"A toast to the groomsmen. May the joy my bride and I share today also be part of your life forever. May the new roof above us never cave in and may our friends gathered below it, who are here today, never fall out."\n\n"A toast to the groomsmen. May the riches my wonderful wife and I experience today be spread amongst my dear friends who deserve all the riches in the world."\n\n"May my groomsmen be blessed with a life full of greatness and may our children be blessed with rich parents!" :-)\n\nGood luck to you!

Hi; I do appreciation baskets quite often.  I start with a pretty basket I find at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/or any Craft store; know your budget.  Fill with lotion, candles, gift certificate to dinner or movie, nice card telling how much that person means to you.  Add anything special that they collect ... I know our pastor's wife loves pretty journals and pens; anything personal that shows you "thought" about them -- that's the trick.  I recently did this and included the other ladies by having them "donate" to her -- like a money tree -- we gave her the money and it really blessed her.  Also, I had the ladies write down a blessing or special note of appreciation to her and included that in a beautiful china cup for her to read later.  I didn't just use one poem, I used a bunch of blessings -- a basket full of blessings.  Have fun!  She will be blessed just because you thought of her!
