Ok, Willow, Tara , chanukah , go for it..

Today is worlds aids day and its disheartening to note that no cure has been found yet, although treatment has gotten better..I read that half of those infected now are women, which blew my mind..

Anyway, having experienced the loss of numerous friends, more than i care to count, to this dreaded disease, my thoughts and prayers go out to those who are infected and to those who have lost a friend or loved one to this awful plague...

Heres hoping that there will be a cure in the very near future..Peace

dreidel. Its spelt dreidel. And the little hebrew letters mean all, nothing, half and... I don't remember.

[Tara22]

nes, gadol, haya, and sham, meaning a great miracle happned there...

and in Israel it's nes, gadol, haya, po, meaning a great miracle happened here...

but if we're going for the games meanings....

none, all, half, give one

HAPPY CHANUKAH KITTIES!!!

and of course to Willow!

[Rosenberg]

A Very Happy Hannukkah to all of the Jewish Kittens

[Tara22]

go you theatremouse!! Good luck in beating yourself in the dreidel game!!!

Happy Chanukah to you!!

[KISMIC]

Uhh 'Happy Chanukah' to all the Jewish Kittens...Though I have to admit that I have no idea what the celebration entails - alcohol, good food and family? And dreidel, the only way I have even heard of it is because of (shame of all shames) The Simpsons. *sings* "Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, la, la, la, la,la, la". But well enjoy the day/weekend all.

As of today there are exactly 23 days till Christmas!
*~Kristy~*

[Mrs Vertigo]

Actually, the celebration entails, err... candles, Sufganiyot (a kind of jelly-filled doughnuts), and tons of chocolate. And a week off school.

And actually, the dreidels arent really that much of a hit. I mean, theyre kinnda boring. After a while.

Whats really cool are the Hannuka songs. Stuff about people carrying torches, scaring darkness off and saving the temple. Really heroic and nice. Unless your a witch, of course, 'cause then it kinnda has a disturbing side to it.

[Tara22]

I LOVE THE SUFGANIYOT!!! *bounces*

and the Chanukah songs are great and fun and just wonderful to make a fool of yourself with while singing them....

But in my family dreidels are just this thing. We ALWAYS play...but, yes, boring is true too...

You can only win so many pennies and watch this little topish like thing spin around, so many times, before getting dizzy....

and Yay! Go Menorah!! I just love the colored candles!! I get to set them out, all lined up in a pretty rainbow of colors... I just love it!!!

I'm in awe. It's rather hard to do both the bouncing and the loving of them, y'know, since the stuff is basically made of concrete.

Btw, LMAO at you sig

[Tara22]

awww...but you see! You haven't tasted Glick's Sufganiyots! They are far from the plastic side of the pastry family. Go sufganiyots! *grins* You must come and taste one some time!

Oh.... why thank you! It's quite a fantastic fic , for sure a must read! Have you? I highly reccomend it!!

[Mrs Vertigo]

Actually, Sufganiyot is already in plural. A single one is called Sufganiya So the 's' is unnecessary.

*laughs her evil Jewish laugh*

Sorry, Im un-fun like that sometimes. *skips off to find that fic in Pens*

Happy Ner-Revi'i ya'll!

[Tara22]

ooh... fine!! sufganiya! I was just wishing you a whole bunch of them! I mean, they ARE better in the plural... but, I must say, the jelly DOES get a bit much!

What are your thoughts on the edible chanukah gelt? (had to ask... there are wrappers ALL over our house)

and a Happy Ner Revi'i to you! (and everybody else! oh, and of course Willow)

[KISMIC]

...*Whispers* But, but after the sufganiya and dreidels there is alcohol right...
Aww c'mon what else is a religious holiday if not for drinking and partying... Or maybe that's just us Christians *Hangs head in shame* Yes, yes I am a terrible heathen, ah well!
*~Kristy~*

[Mrs Vertigo]

Why, booze? No

Btw parties, its a thing here in these parts that whenever this holyday comes round there are free sufganiyot in every club and party you can find. Yknow, like you have those foam parties, chocolate parties, etc? Well we have sufganiyot parties. Not that its really possible to dance after youve had more than one of the devilish things.

And, err, Tara22, what the hecks an edible chanukah gelt? Sounds all yummy and jello-y.

Happy Ner-Shishi yall! Were getting so darn close to a full Menorah, gets me all warm and fuzzy inside .

[Tara22]

you mean to tell me that you have never tasted Chanukah gelt!? (chocolate coins!?) oh my dear goodness... It is like! OH WOW! Way too many little peices of gold paper scattered around our house!!!

lol! awww... latkes are like booze...or...the applesauce is anyway *grins* I second that not being able to dance thing... they really are...

oh! and Kristy! some places put a teensy bit of alchohol IN the sufganiyot...appease you? (*gags* NEVER EAT THOSE ONES!!)

Mrs. Vertigo, lol, been to many parties this year? I am being forced into one tonight, should be fun, lol, well, more dreidel game...


HAPPY NER-SHISHI!!! (not many days left now *sighs*)
