This is to all of you out there who wished me “Merry Christmas” with a smile on your lovely faces. It would take too long to explain that I’m Jewish and don’t celebrate (this is New Zealand where things like Judaism are foreign to the majority). Thus Seasons Greetings are taken in the spirit they were offered and returned with a smile.

Today’s Gratitude Item: That the Christmas craziness will be over soon. I probably say this every year – but this time of year tends to bring out the insanity in people. Thank G-d I’m Jewish and feel no inclination to “celebrate”.
