happy hanukah {we’re so weird}

It’s that time of year again, time to dig the menorah out of the attic and have Grandma & Hakka bring presents for the boys. (all while listening to Christmas music on itunes with the exception of the Adam Sandler Hanukah song). Also have to break out the baseball/Mets yarmulke’s. So far, not too weird other than the Christmas music, right?)

Traditional latkes with applesauce and the traditional first night of hanukah Hess trucks. However, for this? There are just no words. No. words. Jack did great lighting the candles and didn’t burn the house down. After our traditional first night of Hanukah Chinese food dinner. (the latkes were brought by Hakka for a snack. They go pretty well with Chinese food.) So friends of mine (who have just as warped a sense of humor as I do), their son was selling Christmas wreaths for a boy scouts fundraiser. I asked (jokingly) if they came with dreidls. And apparently, they do!! Right next to the pine cones and holly berries on the Christmas wreath. And they sing the dreidl song while lighting up. Best wreath. Ever.
Hope you are all enjoying whatever wacko traditions you have in your family for the holidays. I’d love to hear what you do to celebrate your holidays (the stranger the better). And today starts the Christmas decorating especially for the stocking holders that John loves. They’re supposed to spell SANTA but within hours of me setting them up, they then read SATAN. I’ve learned  just to leave them that way.  Oh yeah, we’re so weird.
