Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah
I can't remember a year in which Christmas and the first day of Chanukah landed on the same day.
In our family we celebrate both holidays so today is even that much more special.
Merry Christmas to all of our Christian friends.
And Happy Chanukah to all our Jewish friends.
Here's a picture of us lighting the menorah in our hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
It's a flat world for the year end holidays in our family!

Happiest holiday wishes to you and the family, Fred...love the Thailand vignettes...
Safe travels and all the best to the New Year.

It is actually happening every 19 years.

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on mixed-religion marriage.

Almost the entire world is in a celebration mode for the next few weeks!
Happy Chanukhah and Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays. Y'know, a traditional Jewish Christmas is celebrated with Chinese food, not Thai food. :)
