Making It In America

Sometimes I worry about what is happening in my country. People are becoming so thin-skinned and taking offense over little things, that it can be uncomfortable to talk to strangers. Would you be offended if someone wished you a “Happy Hannakuk” and you were not Jewish? I wouldn’t. I would smile and say “thank you” or maybe “you too” and go on my way. Why do we have to weigh every greeting that comes out of our mouth to check for “possibilities”. I do think we need to be careful of racial slurs and gender slurs and such. But please, don’t be mad when I don’t wish you “Happy Holidays” but instead, wish you a “Very Merry Christmas”.
