So what is this Purim all about?

holiday gifts purim cooking For the Jewish Purim holiday, a good holiday gift is a gift basket of food, although this blogger prefers the hand-made variety.

And the "sending gifts of food", in Hebrew it's "Mishloach Manot", which is like Sending Rations or something of the sort. Basically, you take a bunch of cookies, candies, and small toys, pack them with pretty ribbons, and give them as gifts to friends, or strangers (not much of that going on, except for schools where you sometimes randomly switch between class members). Sadly, the custom is being ruined in recent years by modern and healthy versions of those gift baskets.
