Sorry about that......I wasn't raised in the tradition. I only just started to put two and two together with the family history research that's been done on the German's from Russia line.
Fortunately I have a step-nephew that is Jewish and he can help me navigate this whole new world I've discovered.
I like learning about new things and different cultures. New points of view and attitudes toward things can be very stimulating.

id like to know who answered my poll "Christmas, whats christmas?" not mad at you, just wanted to know who thought they were funny and answered that question.

Hey, While we're on the subject of the winter holidays, I would like to dole out some motherly advice.

I know most of you are still a bit young. But this could help a lot.

If you ever get married (and you're both celebrating in the Chrisatian tradition) have a written agreement/ pre nup. that works out a definite schedule for which parent or in-law's house you will be going to on certain years or at certain times during the Holiday.
It will save a lot of headaches and arguments down the road and the holiday will be much more pleasant for everyone.

house is about 60% complete. dad getting agitated because im "farting around" and not doing anything
