It's that time of year again!

Here's the deal: I'm the first person to admit I don't like winter. It's so cold and so grey. It gets dark super early, so you're stuck inside so much. I live the winter months in anticipation of warmer weather. But one of the things I do love about winter is the holidays. I love love love December with its festivities and good mood and presents and family and lights and celebrations. We get two holidays each December, Hanukah and New Year. And each year, as we bring in our (New Year) tree and pull out our Menorah, I smile and enjoy the magic.
