Merry Christmas! With all the tribulations in our world, it’s nice to be in the midst of holidays that offer distraction, celebration, and the affirmation of life. Some short Musings for Christmas… CHRISTMAS TO ME As a Jew on Christmas, one is used to jokes about our “special” ways to celebrate—like going to an uncrowded movie theatre followed by a visit to the local Chinese restaurant. When I was a kid, we made sure to drive home down streets we knew would be adorned with Christmas lights. I’ve always found it particularly apt that the Hanukkah—the “festival of lights”—occurs around the time of Christmas, celebrated with beautiful lighting displays. The love many Jews have for Christmas extends to the music. I still can sing (well, my version of singing) any number of Christmas carols I remember from fifth grade choir. Back in the day, when we tuned in to radio stations, we heard Christmas music during “drive time” from Thanksgiving through the new year.
Goodwill towards men and women 👏👍
Glenn, you are a blessing! Can I sign up for lunch at HCC in 2024?
