[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.
