Or... you could try "Namaste Rohatsu!" (peaceful Bodhi day in the Buddhist world), Matunda ya Kwanza!, (particularly if your greeter has some African ancestry) or, when the season is right, even "Salaam Eid Al Fitr" (As historically this Muslim festival has occasionally been coincident with both Christmas and Hannukah). But bottom line, you hit the nail on the head rabbi. We should have enough Yiddischkeit in our hearts to never be offended by anything even perceived as a challenge, but always attempt good fellowship and raising the exchange to a higher level. Keep up the good work!
