1. Holiday Cards

1.节日贺卡

You can say “Best Wishes for the New Year” to anyone. It’s collegial, it’s professional, and it’s on your holiday to-do list anyway. Added bonus: Think about how you feel when you receive a holiday card—like someone really cares about staying in touch with you (at least once a year).

你可以对任何人说“致以最好的新年祝福”。这有点学生气，但也很专业，而且它在你的节日任务清单上。另外：想象下当你收到节日贺卡时会有什么感觉吧——就好像某人确实很在乎和你保持联系一样。

The most professional choice is a non-denominational card (unless you’re certain about what tradition he or she personally observes) that steers clear of humor, which can be seen as offensive.

最专业的选择是送一张无教派卡(除非你对他所遵从的传统相当确定)，那能避开某种会略显冒犯的幽默。
