How to explain to the kid?

Posted on

Peter is in no way converting to Judaism with me, but he is noticing a few things… Like now, while watching all the Christmas commercials on TV: “Where are all the Hanukkah commercials?”

Buck and I answered, pithily, “Uh….”

Peter thinks there should be more Hannukah commercials. “After all,” he says, “it’s eight days’ worth of presents.”

Hmmmm.

  1. Not seeing many Hannukah commercials may not be a bad thing. I’d love to see Christmas rid of its commercialism! And as a family, we try to keep that at bay, within reason, focusing more on the religious meaning of the holiday. Kind of like swimming upstream…

    By the way – I came across a blog you might enjoy – treppenwitz (http://bogieworks.blogs.com/treppenwitz/), written by a David Bogner (we’re probably related somewhere in history).
