Chinese Food, Movies, Friends and Family

What's a Jew to do on Christmas but spend some time with friends and family eating Chinese food and watching movies? This year we went to the Jewish Community Center of Central New Jersey for their "Chinese Food and a Movie" event.

Okay, so the kids didn't make it through the entire screening of "Finding Nemo." We had a great time, met some new people and even got to go swimming. Many thanks to the JCC for the free lunch and to the folks who went to work on Christmas to make it happen.

Menorah Art Projects for Hannukah

Every year my son's preschool has all of the kids go home and create a non-working menorah with their parents, then bring them in to share with the school. These families are so creative! Here are just a few of the homemade menorahs lining the halls:
This one's my favorite, of course, because it's the one Noah made with his daddy.



 That's Sammy Spider as a menorah, with 8 legs and a lollipop body for a shamash.



 
Happy Hannukah!
