"Satan" was a button pusher, but we miss him - he could actually be quite funny at times.<br /><br />We never really did celebrate the holidays, but it's nice to do something. Our only Christmas decorations consists of a one-foot, table-top, artificial tree with optic fibre lighting. It's rather cute, but I've lost the plug for it.<br /><br />The Menorah is a tradition and, although I am not Jewish, I try to recite the first few words of the prayer for lighting candles:<br /><br /><i>Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu ...</i>, but since I don't know the entire prayer, I end it with:<br /><br /><i>...oy, bless our brisket.</i><br /><br />It's the thought that counts.<br />;-)00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-52463611749478610332010-12-07T01:52:52.994-05:002010-12-07T01:52:52.994-05:00My God---or should I say Jehovah?---that's a n...My God---or should I say Jehovah?---that's a nice post, Double-O.

...Jayne: Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you too!<br /><br />Well, we ran out of the 'prescribed' candles and when I went looking for some today, people looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head (it's a prominently Christian society here). So I had to ad lib with birthday candles last night and, guess what, even those suckers won't stand in the holes. Oy is me.<br />;-)00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-75155602006220566042010-12-06T13:01:39.884-05:002010-12-06T13:01:39.884-05:00What a lovely sentiment.

But, even if you trim those suckers with a knife to fit the holes, there is always one candle that will still end up leaning over like a drunk Rabbi!<br />;-)<br /><br />Mazel tov!00dozohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704098179400766578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302773627138264861.post-60846489572837229282010-12-03T14:26:42.093-05:002010-12-03T14:26:42.093-05:00Well, I'm glad somebody finally outed all thos...Well, I'm glad somebody finally outed all those candle makers whose candles don't fit the freakin' menorahs. I always end up, like you, with candles that are broken or caddywampus. But it's way cool to watch them flaming! Makes it all worthwhile. (I'm not Jewish but I am Unitarian and we steal all the best holiday traditions!) <br />Now... where did I put my menorah?
