Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2006! Wouldn’t the holiday season just be weird if it were in the middle of the year? Celebrate the big gift-giving holidays and then, “back to work, you’ve got 6 more months until the New Year’s party – ” Yick! There’s just something about having Christmas, and Hanukkah stacked next to the new year that gives it such an expectation.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt that throughout our childhood lives, the holiday season not only meant gifts, it meant 2 weeks away from school and free time. For me, though, it was the time with my extended family that made all the difference. I could celebrate the holidays with my immediate family of four, but there was just something completely incomplete about not having the grandparents, cousins, arguments, laughing, and food-binge-fests around. And I miss it.
