This is really my first experience being around such Jewish traditions. Growing up you just assume EVERYONE celebrates christmas. I guess I just have never been in a place so heavily populated but I love experiencing new cultures and traditions. Another check on the list of new things. Last night, I was invited to a belated Hanukkah dinner at Sari's dad's house with her family. Of course we had the traditional Potato Latkes in addition to a variety of other foods. I mixed up a big salad to contribute. We made the 45 minute drive up north through the crazy snowfall that the city was being hit by yesterday. Thankfully it wasn't as stormy in the suburbs. After dinner the candles on the menorah were lit as they sang a song in hebrew. Then the kids got to open all their gifts. It was fun to sit and watch. A great experience with a very welcoming family.
