We generally light a candle on each of the eight nights, it's a minor Holiday but commercially over done. We eat hot greasy Latkas covered in sour cream and apple sauce, and listen to Klezmer Music, while watching the candles slowly melt down. Pretty tame stuff. We try to keep our clothes on due to the open flame and hot dripping wax...HMMMM. I'll have to get back to you one that last thought. Talk to you later.A.J We celebrate Chanukah at our home.

Each year we try to go shopping for one, (not necessarily together, sometimes we just assign the task to one or the other of us). A couple of years ago Dan sneakily got his brother to make a stained glass star for me, and gave it to me on Xmas. Very cool! Usually we put up all the decorations together while swilling egg nog with booze, we load up Manheim Steamroller on the stereo and have a great time. Anyway, yeah I have to agree with Morgan. Traditions are all invented by someone. You might as well invent yours! Dan and I have gotten a new star ornament for each year we have been celebrating Xmas together.

Modern humans have so much in the way of variety and distractions that it is almost impossible to have organic traditions. Amy and I read an article a few years about about taking the time to create traditions in your family, more for the sake of the munchkins, but Devon isn't all that tall either, so it should still work. Oh, snap! Pick a couple of things that are fun, and do them for a few years in a row, and see if they stick. Sometimes the ceremony of life is annoying, and sometimes it's the best part. Nude Christmas tree decorating might be a good one to warm up with. Devon is flat out wrong.
