[speaker001:] Merry Christmas!
[speaker002:] Huh?
[speaker001:] I said Merry Christmas! Don't you know that Christmas is almost here?
[speaker002:] It is? Oh, that's nice.
[speaker001:] Huh? Didn't you know? Aren't you excited?
[speaker002:] Actually, I'd forgotten about it.
[speaker001:] Forgotten about it? How could you?
[speaker002:] Because I'm not Christian, I'm Jewish.
[speaker001:] Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
[speaker002:] It's all right. There are so many Christians in America that everybody takes it for granted that I'm Christian.
[speaker001:] I guess so. So what do you do around this time of year?
[speaker002:] Well, I'll celebrate Hanukah soon, but that's not as important to us as Christmas is to you. Mainly I'll just enjoy the holiday break.
[speaker001:] Well, would you be horribly offended if I invited you to a Christmas party at my house?
[speaker002:] Not at all. A party is a party. I'll be happy to come.
