Chronicka

Second day of Chanukka. Potato Latkes frying and Zoe singing “Deck the Halls with boughs of HAWL-ly, Fa-la, etc.” She is thrilled that she has the benefit of two parents who are embracing the Judeo-Christian traditions….all of them. We have a chanukkiah out, and the tree decorated, and we are having and attending “holiday gatherings”. The sweet smell of diversity.

My sister-in-law has inspired a back-to-basics approach to the holidays and requested family give to favorite charities in her name. So we have. But see this: our search has revealed a buy-nothing catalogue:
