’Twas five nights before Christmas, and my Lyft driver was the umpteenth person to wish me a “Merry Christmas” that day. But please do not wish me “Merry Christmas.” It’s wonderful if you celebrate it, but I don’t — and I don’t feel like explaining that to you. [‘Merry Christmas’ isn’t an affront. When you are from a minority religion, you’re used to the fact that cabdrivers don’t wish you an easy fast on Yom Kippur. There’s something a little deranged about taunting someone of another faith with “Merry Christmas” after they’ve politely asked for a recusal.
