And if anyone out there celebrates it, have a good Kwanzaa as well.
Today I've enjoyed the stereotypical Jewish Christmas: I went to a movie this afternoon and now the Chinese Food is on the way. Of course, I also got to celebrate the first night of Hanukah as well, so I've had some store-made latkes*, lit some candles, and opened a present.
Why store-bought latkes, you ask? Because I had no forethought and forgot to buy potatoes. I searched in vain today for an open grocery store, but the only one I found was a very Jewish market that didn't carry potatoes, only pre-made latkes. They weren't too bad but they really didn't compare to my mother's. Perhaps this week I'll go to the grocery store and actually make them myself.
I hope everyone has had a good holiday!
* Latkes are potato pancakes, a traditional Hanukah dish.

חנוכה שמח לך... וכל הכבוד! I've met a new girlfriend online, and perhaps she'll be joining me sometime down the week. She sent me Hebrew songs about me... I'd love to send y'all some mp3's for my election campaigns
Wish yours well...
