Channukah present!

[guingel]

yay! my vacation has begun--one day late, due to drivers ed, but oh well. the other girls in the car were a pain today. Anyway, now I have two full weeks of vacation, with nothing to do except some homework. Well, a fair amount of homework, but nonetheless.

Happy Channukah, to all those of you who celebrate it. We're celebrating today--at our house, which is unusual. Usually we do the family thing at our aunt's house, more people live near her. Not that it's a large crowd, just my family, my dad's sister and her husband, her daughter and her husband, and his parents and grandma. Small, but highly congenial :D

I'm very much looking forward to the latkes! My mom makes great, great latkes, as I say here every year at Channukah! I love latkes. And I know a song about it, we used to have a tape of Channukah songs. It's a good song. A good tape, actually. Unfortunately now lost. :(

Anyway, even though we're celebrating tonight, dad gave me my present a little while ago--he got me the DVD of the miniseries of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere! ::gasp!:: Holy crap! Definitely the last thing I expected to get, and I'm so excited. It's got commentary by Neil Gaiman and all sorts of awesome stuff. :D :D Yay! So I cannot wait to watch that.

People who live near me--we've got to get together and do cool things. Have our own Trilogy Tuesday! ;) (don't worry, I won't make you guys watch Neverwhere)

I only make mediocre latkes, but that's probably because I'm not Jewish. I use a mix, which could be another problem.

mom's not Jewish, and my Jewish family apparently aren't so much for cooking. Mom's just amazing. :D But yeah, the mix probably doesn't help. Mom's been peeling, slicing, and, uh, food processing potatoes all day! They smell really good, I'm hungry!
