puppetmaker | RTBTCKI The Happy Hanukkah 2014 Edition

When living in a multi-religious household you learn about each other’s beliefs and customs. I knew about Hanukkah before I got together with Peter but I didn’t celebrate it.

So today I pull out the Mickey Mouse Menorah (really a Disney Menorah) and clean out the wax left from last year to get ready for this evening and the lighting of the candles.

Getting ready for the holidays can be stressful. There is a lot that goes into it with a pretty good rate of return. My stress has nothing to do with the holiday.

Bowling went OK last night. I need to pre-bowl for next week since I will be traveling. Which reminds me that I need to get the house ready for our house/cat sitter. The nice thing is that the house still looks good from Caroline’s party so this is not going to be too hard to do.

I am also starting to get ready for holiday travel, which can be stressful in its own right.

I have a few things I need to do today to keep the ball rolling in the right direction.

Inky is trying to dip her tail in my coffee. So far I have managed to avoid that.

Libraries are cool. Support your local library.

Still processing that last episode of Once Upon a Time. Wow, they just pulled all the stops out on that one. Still gets me when I watch the second scene at the town line.

Ascension was interesting and I was enjoy it until I got to the end and now I have to see what is next. A very smart piece of TV over all. Did drag a bit in the middle but made up for it at the end.

Honestly it looks like it is going to snow today but it is already 40 heading for 50. Rain predicted later but I want to get the lights up before tonight.

I am grateful for learning about other people’s religions from practitioners of those religions.
