1st Spot always.

The day I go shopping - Christmas Eve.

Outside of work, Merry Christmas unless I know the person is of a different faith, then whatever is appropriate for that person. (Agnostics / atheists always get Merry Christmas. ;) ) During work, Happy Holidays unless I know the person would prefer something else.

Can take or leave them.

My relatives, Christmas Eve. Wife & kids and wife's side of the family, Christmas Day.

If they have Miller on the back, they're never too young.

The pseudo-shortbread ones with the really sweet sugar icing.
