Merry Christmas!
Huh?
I said Merry Christmas! Don't you know that Christmas is almost here?
It is? Oh, that's nice.
Huh? Didn't you know? Aren't you excited?
Actually, I'd forgotten about it.
Forgotten about it? How could you?
Because I'm not Christian, I'm Jewish.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
It's all right. There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I'm Christian.
I guess so. So what do you do around this time of year?
Well, I'll celebrate Hanukah soon, but that's not as important to us as Christmas is to you. Mainly I'll just enjoy the holiday break.
Well, would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house?
Not at all. A party is a party. I'll be happy to come.
