Happy Hanukkah!

I don’t know why I seem to be more in the Christmas spirit this year than Hanukkah. Maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten any potato latkes yet. Those are potato pancakes for those who aren’t familiar with the tradition. I haven’t been in the mood for a powder sugar covered jelly donut either. The Israelis I know eat those for Hanukkah.

This year I have more Christmas stuff going on than Hanukkah stuff. I’m playing at Sheena Metal’s Christmas party at Universal Bar & Grill in north Hollywood, 9p on December 21st. I’m even going to play the Christmas song I wrote. Every Jewish songwriter needs to write a Christmas song in my opinion. The best ones are by Jews.

I do like the candle lighting during Hanukkah. Hanukkiahs are pretty. But with a cat who likes to get into everything I’m doing, leaving a bunch of lit candles in the window sill may not work out so well. When Macey gets older, I’m sure she’ll be more laid back about new stuff in the house. Just about everything is a play toy to her at this point.

Blessings!
