Quote by Dave Barry
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukka' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukka!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!
Summary
This quote humorously highlights the shift in societal attitudes and customs during the holiday season. It contrasts the traditional celebrations of Christians and Jews with the more secular approach taken by atheists. The mention of "the wall" serves as a playful jab, implying that the atheists are too busy enjoying themselves at parties to fully join in the religious festivities. Ultimately, the quote underscores the diverse ways in which people celebrate during this time, adding a touch of comedy to the observation.
