hi, i’m not sure if giving him this gift on christmas would be considered disrespectful— maybe i’m just over thinking it. i know christmas was technically a christian holiday but it isn’t celebrated as one really. to most it’s just a time to give and get gifts. i personally am not even religious and i celebrate it.
i know, or i think i know, Muslim’s see Jesus as a prophet and not as a Gd, so celebrating Christmas which is allegedly or suppose to be Jesus’ birthday is like agreeing that you think he’s Gd.
please correct me if i’m wrong but i think i read that somewhere.
so would giving him a gift so close to Christmas (I was going to order it next week after i get paid) be disrespectful? i mean no harm honestly, it’s not really even a gift gift.
we work together as stockers, as in we stock things on shelves, and we are provided with free box cutters which is nice but they’re super dull. i ended up bringing my own from home in and he seemed to life it and even asked to borrow it a couple of times because his cutter was just so dull. i recently broke a bit of the blade and thought about buying a new one all together. the cutter i have was my mom’s from when she worked retail and there are a few things i don’t like about it like this weird thing on the side that prevents me from really digging the blade in and the fact that the blade is so short. it still works fine but it doesn’t cut plastic as easily. before i’d barely touch the plastic and it’s rip nicely, now i really have to pull and sometimes that causes me to accidentally scratch the time i’m stocking.
Anyways! Sorry, i thought maybe i should order him one too and give it to him as a Christmas gift but i don’t want to seem like i’m forcing him to partake in a typically Christian holiday- y’know? That’s not what i’m trying to do at all of course but i don’t want it to seem that way.
Sorry if this is actually a really silly question i’m just sort of naturally a nervous person. He and I aren’t super close. We both started at the same time so we work together a lot since we’re still new, so it’s not like i know him well enough to just know if it’s maybe considered offensive.
i would normally ask but i don’t want to assure him i’m getting him this gift if it turns out i cant.
thank you in advance!
