Happy Vegetarians

After checking out at the market I say with a smile, "Happy Thanksgiving!" The checker replies, "What happened to Happy Holidays?" Quickly I turn around and look at him. He is not being playful. I shake my finger in his direction with a twisted face of understanding. "Ya know, now that you mention it I have been wondering what happened to Merry Christmas. So, while on the subject may yours be merry." Gal behind me laughed. He stood irritated. I push my cart onward. Ash hollers back, "Happy Vegetarians Day!" (veterans). We need a reality show.
