May you have a blessed Christmas. Thank you. Tonight was the first of several Christmas dinners for family who leave for the coast Tuesday and then there will be others for family arriving late on in the week. Makes for a tiring time but not quite as long as eight nights of Chanukah. Hope your family is together and happy for the holidays. Quote

What happens in practice, if you have children, is you exchange small gifts all eight nights, and light candles. The mega-exhausting holidays are: Yom Kippur (24 hours no food or drink, then large family gathering after full day of fasting and religious services; Sukkoth (more religious build an outdoor structure, eat under it for several days; and Pesach (large "Seder" dinner that ended unfortunately for Jesus Christ, but is usually quite festive and exhausting to prepare for, clean up from, plus dietary restrictions unique to holiday) Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

jbg Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Chanukah is not exhausting. Oh yes it is .... that's why most Canadians spell it "Hanukkah". LOL. The "Ch" sound is intended to be a gutteral "h". The Hebrew letter starting it is the "chet", not the "hey". Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

(as for the diet, is cheese included? i'm serious, i sent a Jewish friend 3 kinds of cheese.) it was either that, or a leaf blower... cheese leaf blower Quote men of freedom walk with guns in broad daylight, and as the weak are killed freedom becomes nothing but a dream...
