Mousie, no one gets a free ticket. I was being bad.
Amma, you're exactly right, it's the same as me wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwaanza, or a Happy Diwali (a festive Indian holiday).
I like learning about other people's customs, too. I'm not a great one to explain Jewish ones actually, since I'm not really observant. (You could tell, right?)
