Hanukkah: another double dose

Christmas Tree at RantMom's

Rather than go find another menorah, RantWoman has stuck a Christmas tree in here in appreciation of some families in our Meeting whose families both keep various Jewish traditions and have Christmas trees. RantWoman is perfectly fine with the thought that in traditional Quaker practice, there is Nothing Appropriate about any of this.

RantWoman is also perfectly fine with injecting a few moments of RantWomanand RantMom's inadvertant observance of the solstice:

RantWoman is perfectly fine with the thought that there is Nothing Appropriate about waiting until the sixth night of Hanukkah to post the overture to Handel's Judas Maccabeus. RantWoman is also perfectly fine with anyone who harrumphs about whether this is appropriate for the fourth Sunday of Advent. RantWoman encourages readers to enjoy the music because RantWoman is also figuring out what to do with some spectacular reindeer droppings which have landed in her spiritual compost heap.
