Being Chanukah in a Christmas World
December 8, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When I was little, I wanted Christmas. I didn’t care that Chanukah was eight days long, since I only got one present. People never talked about Chanukah.

November 19, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane

It’s a curse on my existence and I want it to go away. My enthusiasm for changing anything I have is comparable to […]
