We met the family, yet looking back i feel this was a mistake. It was nice to do something for a family yet it was a little awkward to meet them. <br />I love the picture of your Menorah set in with your Christmas decorations. I do this too yet many of my guests do not understand. Oh well, I enjoy both holidays.SariJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576155931734364322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-10102053339375594592010-12-12T10:24:38.344-05:002010-12-12T10:24:38.344-05:00Such a pleasure to read your post.
