something, something, something... wish two!

I really have no specific topic today, But, I will tell you I love tradition, well more specifically other peoples. I have my traditions but they are all new rather than the old kind of traditions… like kissing under mistletoe old tradition. Texting mry xmas to your friend sitting next to you new tradition. These in no way should ever be confused with the song from Fiddler on the Roof:

Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master of the house,
To have the final word at home?


The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.
The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.

Not to be insensitive but why would we want to talk to Jewish people about Christmas traditions. Now if we were talking about Chanukah traditions… wait why would I be talking about that… OY VEY!

Now don’t get me wrong, I have much love for the Jewish people, I remember years ago, I must have been 16. My Catholic Big Brother was living with a woman who was Jewish. This in itself was enough to make me smile. I spent my entire Christmas holiday with them. It was wonderful I not only got to participate in Chanukah, and learn about it as well. I was given the privilege of lighting the candles one night. And we did have a Christmas tree as well.

It was a very good Holiday for me and I will not forget what I learned. Unfortunately they soon broke up and moved out so I never got to learn what Passover was all about.

So my second to last wish for this beautiful Christmas, I wish for all of our traditions to grow with us, so we may reconcile the past with the present and never forget either of them.
