A very merry Christmas to everyone celebrating it today!

A very merry Christmas to those of you celebrating the holiday today! My family and I are entering the homestretch of our multi-denominational holiday festivities, which extend roughly from Thanksgiving to New Year’s or until the holiday treats run out.
A very merry Christmas to those of you celebrating the holiday! Don your . . . well, you know, and enjoy the time with your families. I hope Rudolph (or, as we call him in our mutli-culti family, the shamash) and the team brought you all you wanted for the holiday. Posting will be light
