[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]

But people do say Happy Hanukkah to me.  And I smile and say it in return.  My kids in public school sing as many Hanukkah-related tunes as they do Christmas songs in their holiday concert.  My daughter raised her hand in school when the teacher asked who celebrates Hanukkah, because we have Jewish relatives and friends, and we do celebrate with them.  I was raised Catholic, and we are a Catholic family.  Am I supposed to be offended that people think I'm Jewish?  Because I really don't care.  None of these things bothers me in the least, nor does it bother me if someone says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.  I just try to enjoy the many joys of the season.  I do not find it "disrespectful" for someone to mistake me for a Jewish person, nor do I find it "disrespectful" for an atheist to wish me a "Merry Christmas."
