Funny Holiday Story with DD

[kransden]

We have a good friend that is very Jewish. Since our area is not exactly a hotbed of Judahism, she celebrates Hanukkah with us. My dd <i> loves</i> dreidels and especially Hanukkah gelt. I think it is a nice cross cultural thing to do. Plus, I love latkes ;).

Well... Sunday, during Sunday School, St. Nicholas visited the kids at the church. He left chocolate coins in their shoes. When I met my dd after S.S. she loudly announced to me in the fellowship hall that "St. Nicholas left me Hanukkah gelt in my shoe!!!!!" I almost fell over laughing. Everyone else was pretty amused too.

That's awesome! As the product of an inter-faith marriage, I often mixed up the two until I was old enough to remember the stories behind the holidays. Later, as a teen, I thought the SNL sketch "Hanukkah Harry" was THE funniest thing!

That is lovely and too cute! How nice that your dd will ggrow up with an appreciation of other cultures...or at least for other cultures toys and candy! ;)
