I agree.
They mean kindness. Try to take it kindly or wish them a Happy whatever you do. The biggest Jewish feast is not celebrated at this time of the year if I remember correctly from my friends. Christmas is the most celebrated Christian holiday but that doesn't mean it's religious to all. If given in a kind way, take it in a kind way. I wish my friend Ruthie was still here to wish me shalom.
It isn't a bad thing to be happy about a tradition you love and that causes you to bubble over to others. I am sure that clerk was thinking of the surprises he had for his children or the fact that his mom and dad were coming to visit. Happy is a good thing.
