What southern Florida is talking about this week:
Hanukkah! (Hannukah? Chanukah?)
Admittedly, not everyone down here is Jewish ... but there is a substantial enough presence that even us non-Jews are fully aware that tonight's the night to light the first candle.
And. in particular, *I'm* keenly aware, because this household happens to watch "That Show with Joan Rivers" (Joan's first ever talk show), which can only be found on JLTV (Jewish Life Television) ... and so I get hip to all the Jewish goings-on (and yes, the stereotype is true ... there are a LOT of holidays, according to the crawl on the bottom of the screen).
Regardless, as a part of this ongoing holiday season, here's to a Happy Festival of Lights for those who celebrate!
