...talk about thread creeps...

Since we are a post-religious mixed household, we are usually lighting Hanukkah candles at the same time the Christmas tree goes up - we put it up the weekend before Christmas and take it down New Years Day. Stockings are the big thing on Christmas morning, and that takes a while...mine generally includes the holiday issue of Playboy and both contain chocolate in various forms. No particular food rituals - roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and that sort of thing.

Oh yeah - and a judicious selection of old movies, like Miracle on 34th Street (original, uncolorized version).
