I don't agree with you, but it's still funny.
Halibut. We once were the token protestants in a community of half Jews, half Catholics, for a three-year stint in North Jersey. I didn't know quite what to say to anyone about anything! The "December Program" at school was centered around Santa and the dreidel.
It's a different mix here. Sometimes you just have to endure and not take it too personally. If you said Happy Hanukkah to me, I would be glad for your well wishes. We have a Jewish brother-in-law and Jewish niece and nephew. We've had Hanukkah dinners that coincide with Christmas celebrations. We've figured out how to honor each.
