If I Wish You A Merry Christmas

<p>&ldquo;Merry Christmas!&rdquo;, I said to the man behind the counter at the gas station.</p> <p>The man, much darker than my complexion, with a red mark on his forehead, smiles back and me and says, &ldquo;Yes, Merry Christmas!&rdquo;</p> <p>We both feel as if each man holds an appreciation for the other. It is a pleasant and positive exchange.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*uv3VP1mt-Brpfcck" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/@rwlinder?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Robert Linder</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a></p> <p>Some people get offended when I wish them a &lsquo;Merry Christmas&rsquo;.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ugafender/if-i-wish-you-a-merry-christmas-6d16e0405268"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
