The thing with Mark is that he was a Jew, but he was only that on his father's side. Luckily you saw that one of the gifts you have for him was addressed to him. You head over to Mark who was drinking some eggnog, and relaxing on the couch, You place the other presents down, to confront him, and see what he thinks of the gift you got him.
"Ah Susan," Mark says. "Didn't expect to see you at this party." "Same here," You agree. "What's that suppose to mean?" Mark asks. "Well, aren't you Jewish?" You explain. "I thought you, and your relatives would be spending the night out of college on Hanukkah." "My Dad got sick, and is trying to recover in the hospital," Mark answers. "I was going to visit him tomorrow night." "Well I got a gift for you if you want it," You say. "It's basically my way of saying Happy Holidays to you." "Well thanks," Mark comments.
