Night 4 - I Think They Talked About Fire

I didn't get to spend Chanukah with the family tonight. Well, that's not quite true. I am staying at my cousin K8's house tonight but we didn't light candles, say prayers or eat fried food (donuts and fried chicken was really good combo). K8's mom, K., was there as were K8's daughters. I brought cupcakes from the Sisters McMullen, K. brought wine and peanut butter cookies and K8 made soup and salad. The girls watched the Polar Bear express and we had a nice time. They listened to me rant about another family member. They are so polite.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Hubby and Noodle ate dinner to Chanukah candles and talked about Chanukah stuff. Now, on the first night we talked about the story itself. On the second night we talked about miracles. We all talked about things we felt were miracles in our lives (Noodle said she thought it was a miracle she was born...she doesn't know the half of it). On the third night we talked about things we are thankful for. Tonight, now that I am on the road, I bet they talked about stuff that burns: candles, oil, propane... you know, burning stuff.
Chanukah, the pyro's holiday.
I will have to find out if there was a theme for tonight beyond 'Gee, Mom's left over turkey is great.'

Come visit here on the 20th. Amy Guth will be here for her Chanukah Blog Tour and there will be a meme and maybe a mad game of dreidel.

Hey J.- Look at this Menorah. When we start cutting glass again we need to make something like this. Very pretty.

PPS - Remember Numbnuts? He gave notice. Yeah! Miracles do happen, even in Corporate America!
