If you want to send your pastor a Christmas card, that's a fine, supportive, kind thing to do. Go for it.
If you want to share your critique of certain aspects of the church's ministry, it is also appropriate to write those thoughts down in a letter and sign your name to it--or better yet, call and make an appointment to talk about your concerns.
But to tuck a critical letter into your Christmas card?
Very. Very. Tacky.
El Tack-a-mundo
Tackissimo
Don't do that, 'kay?

Did you return the favor with a response? Something catchy and sarcastic... No? That's why you're the pastor and I'm not. Try to remember that these broken idiots are God's children, too. *sigh*
Lame. Sorry, but that is truly cowardly!
Grrrr.
Miss Manners is so right. This parishoner is so wrong.
sheesh.
alright... shall we write an etiquette book for church conflict? lord knows we need one.
i'm sure there are plenty, getting folks to read them. hmmm...
I think it would be a lovely anecdotal story in next Sunday's sermon.
Egad.
Two lumps of coal in the stocking for that one!
Lordy.
Said parishioner needs to remember what all of our mamas taught us - "If you can't say something nice..."
Yikes.
