The holiday season is a time I deeply love because as a child I wasn’t “allowed” to celebrate Christmas. My grandmothers were quite conservative (especially my paternal Teta) and I have vivid memories of my siblings and I getting a mini Christmas tree, but being told it was not “allowed”. Today I love all religious celebrations, because ultimately we celebrate in the same way, with loved ones around good food. So on that note Happy Hanukkah
