Light the candles!

[agt_spooky]

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, which my husband and I celebrate. I've learned so much about the Jewish faith since marrying him 13 years ago. And I've gotten great at making latkes! :-)

No family to celebrate with this year, so we're not going to make any kind of big feast. Instead, it's dinner out at a restaurant of the hubby's choice. Yum!

One of his gifts is a stained glass dreydel. He collects them and this one is really beautiful. Hope he likes it!

To those of you who are also celebrating tonight, I leave you with this blessing:

Baruch ata Adonai, Elohenu melech ha-olam
asher kideshanu be-mitzvotav, ve-tzivanu le-hadlik
ner shel Hanukah

Happy Hanukkah!

"On the first night of Hanukkah, what do we do?
Light a Shammas candle and another candle too!"

Hey I found some lovely Hanukkah outfits for Mandy and Chloe!

First - OMG I WANT YOUR ICON!!

And second - the photo of that cat nearly made me pee my pants! LOL! Oh god, I can see trying to get that outfit on either of my girls! You are too damn funny. :-)

Thank you for the icon love! I thought it was gonna be so simple when I started it but man it took a lot of work! I couldn't find stockigs I liked so I had to take a red one and color it green and cut it apart, etc, then I found the mantle and had 9it all together when I was looking at it and trying to figure out why it looked odd and I realized the stockings were just hanging there with no way of being attached! *LOL* So I had to find something for the loops.

As far as the cat clothes - I hear ya, mine won't even wear collars! NUDISTS!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Holy cow, I didn't realize how much work you put into that stocking icon! I thought you'd just found a pic of the stockings like that already and just put their names on it. Man, kudos to you!

My cats are the same way! No collars for them, either. Nudists! LOL!

Thanks for the Hanukkah wishes, Deborah! We had a very yummy dinner, too. :-)

Oh, thanks for the link to the promo! Holy cow, this is gonna be the goriest XMas episode of any show I've ever seen! LOL! Man, it looked like someone was trying to rip Sam's finger off! And Dean with his "Merry Christmas, Sam" as they're tied up together - yikes!

Geez, this is gonna be a doozy. *g*
