wendyzskiThough I have to say I get a lot fewer assumptions that I'll be doing something holiday-ish on Christmas Day since my brother married a Jew. Mom does Christmas - out of habit I think - my brother and his wife do sort-of-Hannukah stuff, and I do Solstice. We all send prezzies to each other that get opened sometime in late December, and that's pretty much that.
Frankly I think John and Melissa probably celebrate BOTH Christmas and Hannukah because both are excuses to cook and share good food with friends. Both are gourmet cooks and total foodies, with an excessively wonderful kitchen. Of course, they probably celebrate Thursdays for much the same reason.
I'm kind of bummed, because my mom and her guy are visiting my brother and his wife, and no one bothered to invite me or even tell me about it until late last month. My mom's annual holiday letter had several paragraphs on her travels, a couple of lines about John and Melissa, and "Wendy adopted a lop-eared rabbit". It's great when your family is proud of you :(
It was a nice quiet day here - mostly involving a nice long nap and some computer maintenance. Cuz it's not like there is much else to do if you don't participate in the ancient Jewish tradition of "ordering Chinese food and going to the movies on Christmas Day". Pepper is busily demolishing a new wicker basket - pretty much the only thing-you-buy that she likes to play with. It's mostly to make up for the fact that she got her nails (mostly) trimmed last night. I still have to go back to get one more paw and 3 other nails - she's awfully wiggly and doesn't like it very much.
