How often will Poetry Friday fall on the start of Hanukkah, on Christmas Day and on New Year's Day? That's what's happening today, then in two and three weeks. Cool. So, to keep up with "the season"...
WHY I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS IN MY FAMILY
by
Gregory K.
My dad lights the menorah.
My mom hangs Christmas lights.
And so the way I do the math,
It’s presents 20 nights!

Super sweet - it's funny, we just had this conversation about whether Christmas really is 12 days or if that's just the song...
Thanks for the Holiday poem, Greg!
Namaste,
Lee
This is sweet and funny! Love it. I didn't realize you had a poetry Friday, too!
peace,

Your post yesterday inspired me -- I read THE LATKE WHO COULDN'T STOP SCREAMING aloud, but your post also taught me -- I only read it once and we did our best "quiet" screams, so my vocal cords were spared and so were my teaching neighbors. Your poem today would have been a good one to share along with Snickett's book!
Except for in a recession, when we just drop blessings in the Hanukkah bowls we made for eachother 8 years ago for 8 days then open 2 on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. We like to think we're green cuz we're not wasting paper. Happy Chrismakkah.
