Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 16, 2014

Well, Tuesday night commences Chanukah.

Alice! There are times when you “should be seen and not heard”! This is one of them. It’s a very sensitive issue for Petey….

Petey must be Christian.

I was raised Christian, my wife is Jewish. Neither of us are religious (when we married, she had an Xmas tree, I didn’t); she just likes the lights and decorations and giving presents. So, tonight we will light our menorah (with no ceremony) while our tree shines in the background.

My Alice, what big eyes you have (and while we’re at it you have a big mouth too).

My dad was Catholic (italin kind)…my mom was Jewish (not religious)…sadly she died when I was 4 so dont remember what they did with is. My step mother was catholic…they baptized us catholic…but raised us Christian. My birth mother’s brother became religiously Jewish so we spent Chaunika with him but celebrated christmas

I celebrate both Christmas and hannukah
