We talk about and anxiously await December’s holidays all year long. Young and old rejoice and revel in this joyous time of year, remembering again what life, family, friends, colleagues, communities, and memories all are about. While couched in religious events, these holidays have taken on a whole other set of customs and meanings:
· Gathering and giving are intertwined with remembering that life is about others more than ourselves.
· This year, Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah are on the same day - over the last 100 years, it's happened four times: in 2005, 1959, 1921 and 1910. Even more reason to celebrate our happy associations.
Here’s wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Eve and Erev Hanukkah today.
