GreatMartin @GreatMartin (23670) • Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 16 Dec 20

The usual gift for kids for Hanukkah are chocolate coins wrapped in 'gold'--see below for the story--but Santa's elves (their names are Chuck & Terry) in Memphis did better than that by stopping here at Gateway in Fort Lauderdale...

Merry Christmas, one and all!

The Horse @TheHorse (238305) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Dec 19

Ah, Christmas. Crying babies in fake Santas' arms. People worshipping the birth of Jesus by battling it out for material possessions. Horns honking as cars fight for dominance on the way to Grandma's. But I do have some fond...

This guy right here has been my boyfriend for a little over a year now. He has been amazing so far and goes out of his way to do things for me and spend time with me. My family met him at my graduation in May and my dad was unsure...

Have you ever eaten latkes?

The Horse @TheHorse (238305) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Dec 18

I had latkes for breakfast the other morning. They were very good. I didn't have the time to make them from scratch, so I bought frozen ones from Trader Joe's, and heated them up in the oven. Latkes are a traditional Jewish dish....

Christmas is almost here!! But, it's not the only holiday.

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 23 Dec 17

In the United States (and most other European-related countries), Christmas is a time of gift-giving and celebration. For Christians, it is a time to remember the birth of Christ. We all know it is not the actual day of his birth,...

Happy Hanukkah, everyone!

The Horse @TheHorse (238305) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Dec 15

I grew up in an extended family of Christians, Jews and Freethinkers. I don't really celebrate certain Holidays more than others. I just kind of go with the flow. But I did remember at the last minute yesterday that Hanukkah began...

Holiday cooking

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 21 Dec 12

I know what the traditional Christmas dishes are, but what are you supposed to cook for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Solstice and so on? And how can those dishes be made vegan (no animal products)? I'm still fairly new at being vegan,...

This will be my first year celebrating Hanukkah

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 12 Nov 12

I ordered a menorah, the 9-candle one from ebay, the seller is in Israel. I'll probably buy the candles locally, and will be buying small gifts for each of the 8 days to celebrate. Since I'm finally part of a messianic...

Merry Christmas VS Happy Holdiays

teedelydoo2 @teedelydoo2 (97) • United States 27 Nov 11

I am sick of people telling Christians that saying Merry Christmas is politically incorrect! Why do these people insist on saying that "Merry Christmas", is offensive. Please tell what about that Phrase is offensive. If you don't...
