#DearStaff,

Just some quick reminders about #Purim and some #company #policies.

We are ALL excited for Purim next week, and the office will be closing at 2pm on Purim day.

1/3
Please remember that our company policy is that gifts may not be given from subordinates to managers (except for major life events).

This includes #MishloachManot, so please do not bring mishloach manot for your managers.

2/3
However, it is acceptable to bring Purim treats to be shared with the entire #office. Purim treats may be put on the table in the #BreakRoom.

Chag Purim Sameach to EVERYONE!

#DearStaff,

#Chag #Purim sameach to everyone!

As you may have noticed, as your Christian colleagues ask for numerous days off again, we are now in the midst of yet another #Christian #holiday #season.

1/27
As we all celebrate Purim, Christians are celebrating the Christian holiday of Christian Purim! Christian Purim is observed the last day before the beginning of the Second Christian Omer, which is also called Christian Elul.

2/27
The #Pope #Gregory #calendar used by #Christians is manipulated to ensure that Christian Purim always takes place on Third Day (which is referred to by Christians as “Tuesday”).

#DearTeachers,

Tomorrow some of your Christian students may be observing the Christian holiday of Yom Saint Valentine Ha’Kadosh, more commonly known as Christian Tu B’Av.

It is one of their important religious ‘Feast Days’ that even the least frum observe.
1/15
The holiday falls on Shvat 23rd this year, which is 14 Febuairiy according to the #Christian #holy #calendar #of #Pope #Gregory.
2/15
Even though we are all accustomed to celebrating love on Tu B’Av in the summer, Christians have a tradition of celebrating Yom Saint #Valentine Ha’Kadosh as their own #cultural #day #of #love #and #friendship in the bitter cold of winter.

#DearTeachers,
This week some Christian students may be absent during the #Christian #holiday of #Candlemas.

It falls on the second day of the “Gregorian” month of Febuairy each year; this year, the date falls on Shevat 11th.
1/9
Consult gregcal.com for the date of Candlemas in future years.
2/9
"Candlemas," more commonly known as Yom Groundpig, is a #holy #day for Christians that commemorates the pidyon ha’ben of the prophet Yeshu, founder of their religion, and also of the prophet’s mother bringing her korbanot to the Beit ha’Mikdash following the prophet’s birth.

#DearStaff,

Just a brief reminder from #HR about our company's #holiday leave policy.

Recently, certain employees were taking excessive numbers of days off for their #religious #holidays.
1/5
The employees who came to work as usual had to work three times as hard to make up for all the absences. We are a welcoming company that supports the religious observance of all of our employees, including those who belong to #minority #religions.
2/5
However, if you need to take off a day for a religious holiday, you must bring in a letter from your religion’s rabbi to confirm that this is an authentic holiday.

In addition, so-called “travel days” before and after holidays may not be accommodated.

#DearJWHIA,

I have a relative who is Christian (long story). For the last few years, I've bought Chanukkah greeting cards for my family and gone out of my way to get this relative a card that is more appropriate for *her* chag.

1/x
Last year, she complained that I got a card for the wrong holiday, explaining that it was not yet Yom Easter, but Yom Christmas! Who can keep track with the weird solar calendar they follow??

2/x
This year, I made sure to get her a Christmas card. She then pointed out that it had the wrong kind of tree (a maple tree is a tree, so I don't get what the big deal is) and the wrong kind of star!

Dear Geveret Smith,

I am writing to address some concerns that you expressed in your letter about the class #holiday activities held over the past week.

First of all, I want to express that our #PublicSchool loves ALL our #students.

1/x
We have a #diverse #student body, we hold #diversity training every year, and we prioritize being good #allies to our #Christian students.

2/x
Naturally, we were surprised to receive such a long list of complaints from you about our #winter #holiday #programming, considering that we go so far out of our way to accommodate our #Christian students.

3/x
