We don’t buy gifts, but we do tip the super and other maintenance people in the building. I think it’s called a ‘holiday bonus’. Anyway, a little extra something is customary at this time of year to the service people in your life. If you give, they won’t infer that you celebrate xmas, they know full well that you don’t; if you give nothing, they may very well think “see, those Jews are greedy and stingy”. If you give it this week with Chanukah coming up, they will probably view it as you giving them a little something in honor of your holiday, so that may be the way to go about it (that’s what we do with the super).
