Because Jews celebrate Hanukah, not Christmas


Its a sad day when you realize that all of your education is essentially feckless. Three days ago, I was in a mad rush to secure a retirement community for my Faith in God girls to sing at. I'm in charge of their bi-monthly activities and holly jolly, we were going Christmas caroling on Wednesday, Dec. 3rd! So, I'm calling around, anxious to get this done and off my list, when I find myself on the phone with an obstinate woman who won't let my girls come and sing! Why not? I ask her. "Well, she said, its a Jewish facility and Jews... celebrate Hanukah, not Christmas." Duh. Thats when I looked down at the phonebook and realized I'd dialed up the 'Jewish Seniors.' Yep, folks, guess you actually have to graduate with a masters in history before you can process the details and function properly in society. I won't graduate until May. So, big world, be patient with me! In the end, we did sing at the retirement center at Miracle Hills and had a marvelous time.

Mom always says as long as you know how to look something up in a book, you can learn anything. But that is if and only if you retain whatever it is you just read. Hahaha.
Glad it worked out!
