I used to be very offended because I’m an atheist Jew. One day a woman wished me a merry Christmas and I said, “Thank you! And a happy Hanukkah to you!” She looked at me weirdly so I said,”I’m sorry, I thought we were exchanging holiday greetings that we don’t celebrate but people assume we do” I’m over it and now I just smile and say it back

It’s all good. me being said when my kids were in elementary school they sang dreidel dreidel dreidel all the time, and it drove me crazy after a while. 🤣 then a “Christian” parent complained about how every religion buy theirs is taught in our schools 🙄. What’s so religious about a spinning top?

3 天內	mashacs mashacs	This shows your personal growth.They wished you happines,it doesn't matter why.When I first moved to UK,my coworkers assumed I celebrate the same Christmas as them(I am Caucasian and from Europe).I do not.In my home country Christmas is on 7th January (Orthodox).But I never got offened.Why would I?They were kind.I did tell everyone who wanted to know about the differences in Christmasess and some remembered and in following years congratulated me on the right day.Getting offended is our choice.
