10. I wished my mom a "Happy Christmas" today when I called her.

And, she said “Why don’t you say Merry Christmas?”

I didn’t tell her that in the UK that “Happy Christmas” is the standard greeting.

She was also unhappy that there is such a thing as a doggie advent calendar, when I mentioned that our dog had just enjoyed her Christmas Day treat from her Aldi Dog treat Advent Calendar.
I told her it was just a fun, secular treat for dogs.
