My non-Jewish friends, do you find yourself feeling awkward when a #Jew wishes you a #MerryChristmas? Unsure what to say? Let me help you!
When a Jew wishes you a Merry Christmas, think of it like them wishing you a Happy Anniversary or Happy Birthday. It's a good wish to you, and to you alone.
Don't wish them a Merry Christmas back. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday and you know it's not their birthday, you don't need to wish them a Happy Birthday back!
Don't mention Hanukkah. If someone wishes you and your spouse a Happy Anniversary, you don't need to say "Didn't you and your partner recently have an anniversary too?"
Wishing them Happy Holidays is OK, but unnecessary. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday you don't need to say "I hope you have a good day too!"
Just say thank you!
