Festivus is a secular holiday, normally celebrated on December 23rd. It is mainly meant as an alternative to the pressures and commercializtion of the Christmas season. However, it has also become a day to celebrate the ever-lasting comedy of the 1990s television show Seinfeld. Enjoy this secular high-holy day.
Now is the time in the Hallmark Channel movie where the person from the big city has to leave their small town festival because of a crisis back in the big city and everyone is disappointed especially the small town love interest. And big city person might not make it back in time for Christmas Day.
The current conditions as of 6:30 AM on Friday, December 23rd in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’m not used to this kind of cold. I do know it’s way colder in other places.
As a non-Jewish person I find Hanukkah to be a celebration that requires dedication. It’s interesting that the miracle of the lights is a great story of spiritual illumination as more candles are lit in the menorah.
Friends, it’s going to be really cold here overnight. People are getting ready for it by going to Walmart and the Grocery Store. Add that it’s the Thursday before Christmas then it’s even more chaotic. Life is oh so very interesting during days like this.
