LOL? Care to expand? I'm basing the fact that it was awkward by the way he starred at me after I said "Merry Christmas". Him being Arab is the last thing that came to my mind...

Maybe his being an Arab had nothing to do with his response? Maybe he was on cold medicine? Maybe he recognized you from the Jerry Springer Show? Maybe the idea of having a Merry Christmas was preposterous as he was spending the holiday in a gas station? Maybe he just remembered he forgot to call his mother and she is eight hours ahead?

who cares if he was arab? christmas is christmas... it's a holiday celebrated in this country by the vast majority. no assumptions were made that he was a christian or anything... just that it's christmas and you say "merry christmas" on christmas. if he said "happy ramadan" to you on ramadan, i doubt you'd be offended. all you'd say is, "oh, i'm not muslim, but you too".
i never give a shit who i say "merry christmas" to. to me, it's no different than saying "happy new year". some cultures celebrate their new year on a different day (persians, chinese, arabs)... doesn't mean i won't say "happy new year" to them.

It was awkward for YOU, he didn't give a fuck.
You remember this moment so intensely because you thought he'd weep tears of gratitude just because you gave didn't demand the couple of bucks change from Mommy's money.
It was Christmas, but you're not Jesus.
Life isn't a movie starring you, no matter how strongly your doting parents strive to give you that impression.
If you grew up in my neighborhood, you'd frequently be sporting a bloody nose and a nickname that prominently featured a bodily function.
Haha, Ok...

Whatever, I guess this is one of those "You had to have been there to understand" kinda things...
Move on folks...

I didn't plan it. My friend sent me a text during dinner saying "Hey, you gonna go to a BBQ tomorrow morning with such and such?" and I replied "Sure". He told me i had to bring something, so i said i'd buy snacks if we stopped by a gas station on the way to the beach, he said "alright, i'll pick you up at 9."

A Muslim Indian friend joined us for our Christmas yesterday. He's lived in the US for about two years and was curious what the holiday was about and what the celebration is like. We got him a hat and he brought us butter chicken pizza. Yum!
