Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Steve, Theresa, Alyssa and anyone else who posted to this topic: Thank you for your replies. I learned alot, which I love to do... History is my favorite subject and Jewish history is fascinating. (my friend who converted) has told me so much about the various holidays and traditions. My family wasn't religious at all and I ended up going to several different churches while growing up - all but one were Protestant. I did attend Temple for Chris' wedding. It was wonderful. I got to see the smashing of the glass and everything! And the dancing! I loved it when she was in the air in the chair!!! And the music was so good - my favorite was a piece of music I call the " Geritol song " because I used to hear it in Geritol commercials. I remembered something else. The first Christmas in my apartment was really special to me. I bought the tree, lights, ornaments, etc. When it came time to put the lights on, I was confused! My brother always did the lights at Mom's home so I never paid attention. And the lights go on first so I was stuck! Couldn't put anything else on the tree until those darn lights went up. I called a friend in a nearby apt and she and another neighbor came over. We had a few drinks and they put up my lights. They were so excited because this was their first Christmas tree too - they were Jewish and had never had one! They loved it because they participated in the fun and then got to go home! I tried to talk them into getting a tree for themselves. Heck, they could just call it a Hanakah (sp?) tree! But, in the end, they didn't do it - it was too foreign for them. They did visit me several times, though, just to see " our " tree. ===== Dee Waiting for Ins. Co.
