Same here, furthermore we are studying it at the course and all the people around me is talking about Hanuka and not XmasI had a total cultur shock arriving to Germany- Xmas stuff everywhere, when my mind os completly different things.
I think Ill celebrate Chanuka instead. Could you send me some of that friday night bread I love???
Challah bread? Olive loafs are better.
hehe you should taste my chala bread before
You know I find the christmas fever also annoying,but back at home in poland we celebrate it differently.Its more traditional and less commercial.
As a matter of fact sometimes its less about the religious celebration more about forgiveness and family getting together...with some typical traditions dated back to pagan times...
So the best thing I can do here in Israel is probably celebrate both Chanuka and Wigilia:
Looks like on 24th we gonna have 12 dish dinner with red barshch and paszteciki
If I ever remember a New Year's Eve, I know it sucked. I HAVE to drink 1 full bottle of champagne and 1 bottle of arack. It's my own tradition.I love paszteciki...
even though icredibly commerciallized...I miss that christmas feeling
no snow, no descent holiday- everyone works and studies during hannukah, no special dinners...just a litttle shampange on new year's eve
I'll take that as a complimentarack on new year's...you're nutts
people like you are the reason when I return home from the bar on new year's i can't walk 2 feet without stepping in someone's vomit.
