My coworker is a Jehova Witness and doesn't celebrate Christmas. I planned on bring in little gift baskets of cookies for some of the other co-workers as Christmas gifts. i don't want to make this on coworker think I am leaving him out, but I do not want to offend him. He's a nice guy and we discuss our religous view all the time civilally. As long as I don't make is basket look all Christmasy do you think it would be the right think for me to give him one too? Or do you think I should try something else for everyone as group (such as bring in breakfast) to show respect for him?

My best friend is a jahova witness.. and he still buys presents for those who celebrate christmas.. and accepts the gifts as well. Im sure he isnt celebrating Jesus's birth, but merely having fun with his friends. He's a little more lax in his beliefs though.. on the other hand another gentleman i knew grewing up.. wouldnt even accept the soda that the teacher gave out on birthdays, because it went against his beliefs. I'd say, you know this man better than any of us.. gage how much his religion means to him. I dont think he'd be offended by the offer, but just dont take it to personally if he politely declines taking the gift (plus if he does you got some extra goodies to snack on during the day). no one likes to feel left out, and even the thought, would probably be appreciated.
