I'm a night late but I want to give a shout out to my Friends who are MOT and celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah.
It's a great holiday.....all about the underdog defeating the mighty, freedom from tyranny, and celebrating your culture, your religion and a miracle.
Even if you aren't Jewish, there are lessons to take away from this celebration of the Festival of Lights.
And the food!......Paula Deen has nothing on the deep fried latkes and doughnuts and chocolate gelt that are part of the celebration.
What's not to like?!?
So on this the 2nd night of Hanukkah, I wish you freedom, may your oil supply never run dry and may your latkes be the fluffiest....except for those nice crispy edges....Mmmmmm
Chag Sameach y'all!

ReplyDeleteI did not know that Jewish people could shimmy so!
Plus--fried food, chocolate, and donuts? I have never had a latke.
My daughter always says Jewish people really know how to party. When she was a teen, she went to lots of bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs in Miami. She works for a Jewish owned business in NYC and gets all Christian and Jewish holidays off with pay. She loves that arrangement.
Thank you sluggy! and you raise a very valid point, this holiday commemorates a small band of dedicated men refusing to bow down to oppression. Its the perfect libertarian holiday. ;)
