"Merry Christmas!" [View All]

I was in a store today and had a woman tell me, "Merry Christmas." The look on her face made me think that she was part of the group that has bought into this "war on Christmas" bullshit, so I thought maybe she was testing me.

I replied, "Thanks, but I'm Jewish."

She gave me a blank stare, looked away, and that was the end of that.

I think I'm going to do this each time I suspect someone is telling me to have a Merry Christmas just because they believe the war on Christmas nonsense.

After this episode, I called my closest friend of 23 years, who is Jewish, and told him what had happened. He couldn't stop laughing. And, by the way, this Jewish friend of mine puts up a tree and his family participates in gift giving on Christmas Day. Now, how's that for a war on Christmas!
