December holidays

There's so much I want to accomplish that I don't get to, but for once I actually looked at how many Hanukkah candles we have before buying more. 

The answer: I have about as many candles as I have dreidels*, which is to say, many, but not enough to last 8 nights, which might be fine, who is home for 8 nights anyway? but I think this year I'll try to leave no candles and that can just be the number I remember each year. 

There are always new and fancy candle colors or designs I covet anyway, and the price of the post-Hanukkah sale candles isn't worth losing them or having them melt or whatnot. 

For the first time, Max went with me to the store with all the fun Hanukkah stuff. This is because he no longer believes in Hanukkah Harry, or St Nicholas or the tooth fairy, so I wanted to show him the store. Probably was more temptation for him than I was prepared to deal with, but now we are prepared for Advent, St Nicholas Day, and Hanukkah. Christmas and Solstice are still not completed but getting there!
  

*The dreidels will last more than 8 nights presumably.
