Happy, Happy. The boys each received a gift from their great-grandma; V-tech Advanced computers, which are not really computers, but have 120 preprogrammed activities to play.
Tonight they will receive a video game for a 3DS from me. Thank goodness they won’t be here for the whole week, I’d probably go broke, especially since we celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas, plus Yule, Solstice and New Year’s Eve.
Happy Hanukkah, jellies! My girls are with their dad and bubbe lighting candles, eating latkes, and playing dreidel. I really miss my ex-mother-in-law’s latkes. :( Shalom!
Happy Hanukkah, @all. Our Christmas lights are up. My wife wrapped a faux tree in an almost transparent emroidered silver ribbon with the lights shining through it. She was going for a look like the Tree of Souls in Avatar and it’s eerily like it, very beautiful. So lights, we got.
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukkah’ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ to the goyim, ‘Happy Hanukkah!’ to the Jews and to the atheists ‘Look out for the wall!”
