Three People Walk Into A Juice Bar



A Christian, a Jew, and a Muslim walk into a juice bar. The Christian raises his glass, and wishes his friends a Merry Christmas. The Jew raises her glass, and wishes her friends a Happy Hanukkah. The Muslim raises his glass, and wishes his friends a Blessed Ramadan. Behind the counter, the proprietor smiles, raises his own glass, and wishes them all a Happy Holiday.

I don't have a joke here. This just sounds about right.

The name doesn't matter. The specifics of faith don't matter. What matters is that we can wish the best for everyone, and mean it. And we can all accept best wishes with grace and gratitude, regardless of their phrasing. I wish you joy, and I wish you harmony. I wish you the merriest.
