I suspect this photo will not appear odd to any of us celebrating mixed families, traditions, religions, cults, vanilla extracts, syncretic faiths, unionism, or pure unadultered atheism with presents this year. My wife erected the Christmas tree last night with my full approval (I’m recovering from hernia surgery, and thus was unavailable to help, ahem ahem), and I lit the Hanukah candles this evening. A happy juxtaposition in our home.
A friend in college, on discovering I was Jewish, asked, “So you don’t celebrate Christmas?” No, I said. “Not even commercially?”
Photo by yours truly.
