Re: holidays - just happened

I just picked up a honeybaked ham for our Easter dinner tomorrow. As I was leaving, the lady said "thank you, enjoy your holiday." Which is nice and I appreciate the wanting to be inclusive but I was thinking, you know I just bought a 20 pound ham- I'm probably not celebrating Passover.

    our across the street neighbors growing up were a "blended" family. He was jewish, she was Irish catholic. They raised the kids jewish. Every year at passover her mother came with a big ham (passive aggressive much).

    The guy at the bike store just wished me a happy easter.

  • Eh, I think that is a perfectly normal thing to say- it doesn't necessarily mean that she was avoiding saying Easter, IMO.  I've said that to people on the 4th of July, for example.

  • I was buying stuff for our Seder and the checker commented on the matzah and asked if they were good.  I told her no, but it's part of the holiday.  Then she asked me if we had plans for Easter!  I said yeah - I think we're going hiking.  Lol!

    Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.

    LOL!  Actually I love(d) matzah (at least egg matzah)...the consequences? Not so much. ;-)

    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

    I know, it just made me laugh.

    It can be really difficult to train your brain. MrP came home from dropping off the dogs all proud of himself cause he remembered to wish our boarder a happy Passover. He wished her merry Christmas last time they were there.

    With butter.

  • On the opposite end of the spectrum, this past December was the first time I've seen anything Hanukkah related in coastal NC since I moved here in '99.  It was one shelf on one end cap (in Target), but it was enough to give me pause.  When I visit family in MD I forget how "Christian" everything is where I live.
