Merry Christmas. Isn’t it nice to be normal – and not a registered Democrat any longer? Merry!

Happy Hanukah
Here is my son’s Hanukah poem:
Gothanukah and the Dreidel of Doom

By Yair R.

I have a little dreidel
That is spinning with disease
It’s not made out of clay
But the blood of my enemies

The Dreidel of Doom was forged by Satan
To please my vengeful heart
But deals with the Devil can go sour in seconds
And rip your soul apart

He told me he would kill them
With plague and pestilence
And trap their souls in a Dreidel
Then said Dreidel would choose thy beneficence

Damn you O Dark Dreidel!
I made you out of hate
Damn you O Dark Dreidel!
You will soon decide my fate

“Gimel” means I live
“Shin” means I die
“Hay” means I can keep
One of my two eyes

“Nun” means I burn
For eight long days and nights
I don’t think I’ll survive
This dark festival of lights

The Dark Dreidel spins
As I cower in fear
A great miracle would be nice
But it won’t happen here

The Dark Dreidel falls and it’s “gimel” for the win
I awaited Satan’s decree
The Devil gawked at the Dreidel and shouted he
“Best two out of three!”

or
Possible Alternate Ending:
The Dark Dreidel falls and I’m free minus one eye
Which is really not so bad
In fact, come to think of it still ‘tis the best Hanukah ever had I

I’ve go to share an anecdote with you. We are hosting a young woman from Nepal for a month. She has almost finished her BA from an American college and was awarded a special scholarship that allowed her to travel abroad. She chose Germany, and a friend she had done a summer internship with asked us if we could help her out. She is delightful, down to earth, and curious. Last night after dinner, we were doing dishes and she said she liked washing dishes because it is nice to have plenty of water that was heated.

I think my biggest Christmas gift this year is being able to see my world through different eyes: the gothic churches, the half-timbered buildings, the supermarkets filled to the brim, and now even the reliable hot and cold water faucets. It puts the blogosphere in a different perspective and makes me appreciate it even more.

Neo:

Thank you for a great past year — not just the intellectual challenge, but the arts, cooking and other treats you send our way. Have a great Christmas. See you next year.
