Christmakkuh, Kwanzadan and Other Holidays

When a friend recently described her family holiday tradition as "Christmakkuh,"  I couldn't help but think of all the ways our local community tries to be inclusive.  In preschool, my children sang a song (I don't recall the name or tune) with four verses:  one each for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza and Ramadan, lest anyone be offended to be left out.

The best, however, remains Festivus, "a holiday for the rest of us."  Don't know that one?  Surely you remember Seinfeld - the show about nothing that keeps coming up in my daily life nearly a decade later.   To George Costanza's chagrin, his family had Festivus.  Watch here and enjoy:  Seinfeld and Festivus

Happy Whatever!
