and to all a good wednesday

it is this time of year.  a time of friends and family.  gifts both material and immaterial.  laughter.  amazing food.  incredible amounts of egg nog.

this year i adorned our return address labels with my patented design that sums up my feelings about this season.  as a girl who was lucky enough to grow up with both christian and jewish holidays in her home, i wanted to find a way to sum up december.

^ i think that pretty much sums it up  :)

now, i know some people who think growing up with both holidays is like the worst, most confusing thing ever.  so let me settle this for all of you.

you are wrong.

there is nothing that can make one (as a child and, ok, even as an adult) feel closer to god than two holidays within a months time where all things are good and lovely.  when gifts are given with wild abandon.  when family gathers and stops their bickerings to enjoy latkes or turkey.  lighting candles on the menorah or plugging in the lights on the christmas tree.  it is without confusion.  and leads to a perfectly normal adulthood.  i assure you.


so there you go.

wishing you all, my most favoritest of readers, a happy-merry-joyful (a little bit late--hanukkah--and a week and a half early--christmas--) christmukkah, hanumas, etc and etc  :)

xoxo
