Falling behind faster
Last night was the last night of Hanukkah, so here's a pic of our menorah from the night before!
Yes, that's the Alcove of Honor in our house, tucked in amongst the CDs, the boombox, pruning shears, and an open package of paper napkins. Plus the bits of colored wax from the previous nights' candles, which no one swept off the platter (it would've been me because Mister Nightdog, who is the only actual Jewish person in the house, doesn't care). I used all white candles for this night's pic. The alcove is also where we light the (two) Sabbath candles every Friday night (not in a menorah), so that's where the candles live. And that's about it. Mister N doesn't keep kosher, and sometimes he doesn't observe all the (major) holidays, but hey. My country, 'tis of thee. *g*
Anyway, that's our menorah. I think it's brushed aluminum, and it has a really nice weight to it. I like it a lot -- a whole lot more than the one we had before, which was this little dinky thing with the candle-holders way too close together, so it was an absolute bitch to get the shammas candle in and out.
Need to order Christmas stuff for the friends and family who get Christmas stuff. Need to send out holiday cards. Still have not decided about a tree. Sigh.
Was deeply, seriously underwhelmed by the Doctor Who season finale. :-(
