My dear, darling, handsome, wonderful son sent me another gift from Harry & David. A gift specifically for Hanukkah. Shaped in the form of a Star of David.
There are eight boxes, numbered 1 through 8, one box for each night of the festival. Of course I peeked. But the first gift in Box #1, a pear, will be eaten on the first night--Friday. Box #2 is milk chocolate stars wrapped in blue cellophane. #3 is another pear, not quite ripe yet, but it will be by Sunday. #4, blue and white Jelly Bellies. #5 is gelt, chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil. #6, blue and white malt balls. #7, more chocolate stars wrapped in white foil. And #8, my very own dreidl.
When all boxes have been opened, and goodies consumed, the boxes can be kept and used for storing trinket and gewgaws.
Isn't that neat???
Don't I have a really neat son?
Shalom

As Hanukkah bears down upon us, would you like to have guests bearing a menorah, candles and the makings for latkes and tuna patties come for a visit on either Monday or Tuesday, whichever is better for your schedule? :-D (So far, we are all healthy, too!)

Short story on handedness: I didn't want to be like everybody else, so I switched right off the bat, in first grade. Oooh, my dad was not happy with me!

I saw your comment over on Dustbunny's page that you have a daughter north of Vancouver. If you have not heard from her yet, don't worry. Many folk are still without power. She may be a little cold around the edges though as the overnight temps have dropped into the thirties. Hope you hear from her soon.
