Holiday Gifts

Better late than never.

I’m about 36 hours away from seeing Marissa tomorrow! Today I’ve got to do the little things like pack, get my haircut and go home for a nice dinner with the parents. My sister informed me I may not come home unless I bring my ridiculously belated Hanukkah gift I got her that I kept forgetting to give her. I have it in tow (along with alot of laundry that needs to be done as well). I just can’t wait for this day to end so it can be tomorrow so I can be with her again.

The story of finding the right Hanukka gifts.

Every year, Hanukkah is a carefully choreographed event that M and I sit and agonize over to be sure that each night has a kind of THEME and that each night is covered with adequate giftage. But THIS year…we didn’t sit down and do that. Part of it is because she bought him this very computer I am typing on. And you have to admit, that’s a pretty decent gift if I do say so.

Always hard for me to know whether to give Hanukkah gifts, but this blogger likes getting them!

My in-laws got me a bag full of Hanukkah gifts! The ironic thing is that I'm not even celebrating Hanukkah this year, but we didn't tell them that. I think this is the first year in...oh, just about forever...that I haven't lit candles for eight nights. I do miss it, but I've been so distracted lately that I just didn't drag the menorah out in time. I am hoping to at least make some latkes from a mix - okay,

Anyway, though, her parents did get me some nice little presents. They got me a bunch of Hello Kitty-branded food, including chocolate dip biscuits, strawberry dip biscuits, Lips candy, and Dream Cakes (which look kind of like moon pies). They also gave me a mezuzah (I guess they didn't notice we already have one at our front door), some fruit-shaped marzipan treats, a whole box of fine marzipan with Jamaican rum, and a big bag of really cool gelt. The wrappers are sparkly, hologrammy, or whatever it is that makes that cool rainbow effect. It's so cool I don't want to eat them! I've never seen gelt wrappers like that before.

It's a little late, but it's never too late.

If you forgot to give your Jewish friends a little something for Chanukah, don't worry. The Jewish Fashion Conspiracy has some stocking stuffers you can get in time for Christmas. They claim to put the "racy" back in "conspiracy"!
