holiday to you.

It would be offensive if I said "Happy Hanukkah" to everyone at DU, assuming that everyone here observed it. I didn't do that. I said "Happy Hannukah" specifically to those who do celebrate it because it's starting tomorrow.

When your holiday comes around, let me know & I'll wish you a happy whatever it is.

Happy Holidays is appropriate for those you don't know well enough to figure out what holiday they're celebrating, if any...

Happy Hanukkah!

and all near and dear Behind the Aegis.

To all DUers celebrating this holiday, happy Hanukkah to you and your loved ones.

Though I'm not Jewish

I love latkes.

I used to get them in NYC at a place called Veselka. I'm drooling.

They're still there: http://www.veselka.com/

for the first time the other day. Those were truly yummy.

I just got home earlier tonight and have a couple of holiday greetings I need to send. And those pix couldn't be any cuter! I love seeing adorable Voodoo, his outfit is priceless, LOL, and how did Tony turn out so well?? He successfully lights candles and I can't seem to keep my kitten out of the kitchen sink...


My friend's sweet little Maltese was given a shirt that says Hanukkah Princess, looks very nice, though the mutual friend who gave it to him seems to have forgotten that he was a boy dog...

Starting tonight, as are his adorable and appropriately attired pets.

If you look closely, it is a bad photoshop with Tony. LOL! I have to go find Chanukah candles tomorrow. I have a few for the first few days. I may have to go to Tulsa.

Since Tony has passed, I think I will use my cat Menorah this year. The girls will love to see "bad kitty" again.

But, now that I have a cat of my own, I really should have known better, LOL. Mine, especially with that tail, would undoubtedly turn himself into a feline torch!

And, since the pets are obviously involved, wishing you a safe Hanukkah, too!

Great job with the disruptor, never got a verdict from my alert, hoped to shut him out of the thread, but this turned out way better...

Felix (found him in a grocery store parking lot this past summer):

I photoshopped (poorly) a flame to the wick.

Felix is a handsome man! I miss my kitty so much. It is good you took him in, black cats have an even shorter life than most feral cats. Sad, but true.

And I found my little guy when I just happened to stop for groceries one night. He was living in the parking lot at a store where they were doing construction and the workers told me he'd ben there for a few days. There was just no way I could leave him there and the vet said he was only about seven weeks and weighed 2.6 lbs.

As for black cats, three of the (now) four cats I have had in my life have been black. The last one I rescued from outdoors back in 2002 at age 12. And the first one was just the best cat in the world, offered to adopt her and her "sister" cat when my uncle died. I named her Rhiannon -

I was going to post an early pic of this little guy, but I remembered that I shared this with MIRT. I can't read my OP now, but you can... It includes pix.

We will have fun around the Menorah tonight. LOL!

Sez aww--and Happy Hanukkah!

Well done!!!

...sarcasm is practically a second language!

That troll trolled badly.

I should have remembered you were on MIRT this term, great job!

He got bonked upside the head with troll house cookies.

Thanks MIRT. Or whoever got rid of him.

I alerted on the reply to my post, was just hoping to get him locked out of the thread before he made it any worse, totally forgetting that the OP is on MIRT this term, so he would certainly have noticed, LOL. I've been on MIRT and MIRT notices everything...

Lovely pics!

Black eyed peas equally yuckyyyyyyyy!

I have to make my husband eat them too! LOL! The pups will eat them because...well...they just see me and daddy eating something and the must have it!

Love the photos!

It's always fun to get the fur-babies into the holiday! Just wait until the dreidel game!

I really wanted to post this article because it gives a little more background on the holiday. Not a complete one, but too many still don't really understand the holiday. Even some Jews...LOL!

Wishing you and yours a joyful holiday.

Now I have to find my candles!

And I love your babies.

I used my cat menorah in honor of Tony. I said my prayers. And sang the "bad kitty" song...then I cried. Damn that cat!

Go figure.

On another note, we're tying in to Disney this year. Instead of being God's chosen people, we're now God's Frozen people.

My family would kill each other. If we all got together and didn't scream and yell, that would be a real Chanukkah miracle!

Spin a dreidel,
Win and lose gelt,
and recall those times
When we could not worship
Or remember the lights.

to you and all the Jewish Duers.

Wishing you all good friends, good food and a joyful holiday.

Celebrate it, and I have the Ashkenazi DNA to prove it....

Plus I can dress up my pets. I don't know when that transformation took place. I used to make fun of those people, and now I am one!

Companions bring some of the purest light there is...

Lol~ I love voodoos kippot (?)

Happy Hanukkah to you and yours BtA and your first in wedded bliss~

I said my prayers. Then, I sang the "bad kitty" song. Then, I cried. That damn cat! I still miss him. Maybe I will turn one of the pups into a dreidel.

Thanks. To bad kitty Tony~

And all my love coming your way for you new wondrous life as a happy couple that is now legally married. Happy Hanukkah.

We will do our family Christmas eve dinner at my nieces. Christmas day we will do a brunch instead of dinner at my sisters. This year we will all do it together instead of splitting between families. Ya, this year we need to be together,.

Peace and love to you and yours BtA
