Why I Say “Merry Christmas” Even Though I’m not a Christian
For the same reason I wish my Jewish friends a “Happy Hanukkah” during Hanukkah even though I’m not Jewish.
For the same reason I wish my Muslim friends “Eid Mubarak” during Eid al-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha even though I’m not Muslim.
For the same reason I wish my Hindu friends a “Happy Diwali” during Diwali even though I’m not Hindu.
Because I like them and I respect them, and even though I don’t share their beliefs I want to show them that I care about them and value their friendship.
That’s true tolerance, and I don’t need a bullsh*t bumper sticker on my car to proclaim it.
