lesliepearChanuka starts tonight. I set up my menorah and other stuff. I wish I could drag myself to Bed Bath and Beyond to get the Chanuka door ribbon they had. Maybe maybe on the way home for a second.
I do make it a point to buy Judiaca from companies this time of year to support their efforts. I used to buy Avon's chanuka item every year when I sold (and I ordered it this year). One year they were way off...sabbath candles and mezzuahs - not channuka gifts, and you either have them or not. It was kind of like selling crosses that you mount on the wall - how many can you have? 1 pair of candles and one mezzuah per door is what people have. Fisher Price's Little People came out with a Channuka set. It isn't 100% realistic but just the thought of it was neat. So I got it for me - and eventually ALan.
I set up a little display with my electric menorah - the fisher price set, some other dreidles I have, a chanuka bear I got (actually at a fundraising rummage sale for a catholic hospital of all places) and put my channuka table cloth under it. I'll have to take a picture of it. I'm really limited as to where to put stuff, lack of room and I need it away from Alan. I even left my candle menorah stored away (I don't light the candles anyway, my mom had an accident with a kitchen curtain and a lit menorah once).
Wish I felt better.

Natalie already had the train, got the bus last night from her daycare provider, is getting Noah's Ark from her auntie (for which I've also bought the extra animals). I had the farmers market selected as a gift but took it back, it's already gonna be a LP extravaganza!
Not much LP yet

No Idea
