'These two winter holidays converge an average of five times a century,

according to Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Executive Vice President of the New York Board of Rabbis. Since 1900, the first night of Hanukkah has fallen on December 25 five times: 1910, 1921, 1959, 2005, and now 2024.’

Merry Christmas

Happy Hanukkah (4:52PM)

I have a tinsel star of David next to the rainbow tree...

My kid who follows tradition has my menorah, and I didn't send the candles in my package on time lol...so im sure she used birthday candles 😜
She sent pictures of her amazing challah.

My son and his girlfriend and her baby are staying with me until they can get on their feet. I think we put together a pretty good spread it's been pretty hard keeping the house clean and she's young and they don't really do a whole hell of a lot so I'm ready for them to get in their own place but tomorrow is going to be chaos so I have to prepare myself LOL. I tried to make sure everything was clean and clear so that tomorrow it can be easy ...cross your fingers for me! ❤️

MD family coming here later today; I think they spent 12/24 with neighbors, and NJ family prolly celebrating both Wed and Thurs.

I've been to grocery more often than usual; would normally NEVER go 12/24, but did; parking lot VERY full, and as usual, everyone friendly, and store not unduly crowded.

Happy Hanukkah! Daughter borrowing some of my Menorah candles.
