[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you feel at every turn someone said "Happy Hanukkah" not caring or realizing you do not celebrate it?  How would you feel about having to listen to non-stop Hanukkah music when you shop?  How would you feel if people pretending to be friendly asked if your child enjoyed lighting the menorah and acting like your child is being rude for looking at them funny as they do not know what it is (my child has no clue who Santa is)?

Why not just say Happy Holidays and be respectful to all? [/quote]

NP here.  As long as someone is expressing a nice sentiment to me, I don't really care if they say happy holidays/ happy Hanukkah/merry Christmas/happy Eid.  I also like Hanukkah music, so I'm fine hearing that while I shop.  Finally, if someone assumed I was Jewish and asked my kids about lighting the menorah, they would explain that we don't do that because we're not Jewish, no need for them to give someone a funny look.

If your child really has no clue who Santa is, I feel sorry for your child.  Not for missing out on Santa, but, for being raised by insular parents who don't explain the basics about the customs of others.[/quote]
