Ever since I read this I keep...Dear lovely Eleanor,<br />Ever since I read this I keep chuckling to myself imagining you alone on the christmas bus, with folks pointing at you.<br />I have in recent years become less and less religious. I think christmas is primarily about the retail industry, and my children were only allowed to sing Santa songs at school because christian ones would offend the other religions in the mix. I actually found this rather appalling, as Santa is an invention by the Coca Cola advertising campaign in the 50's.<br />Burt anyway, dont mind me. <br /><br />I would love to see your I would love to see your new sofa. Do show me. As for me, I could do with a new bed. Thats what I bought when I was having a baby, but thankfully, it has remained free of wee. <br /><br />So happy Hannukah and a wonderful summer to you.<br />xxxxfifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-62678686779812158612010-12-22T08:05:37.596+11:002010-12-22T08:05:37.596+11:00You should have come up this way earlier in Dec, t...You should have come up this way earlier in Dec, there were menorahs, blue streamers and dreidels everywhere for about a week. Sadly, no hanukah-themed buses though.<br />I'm excited about the new furniture! We have a pishy corner too courtesy of J (what is it with that y chromosome?).<br />But I am even more excited to have a lovely post again!Duyvkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660918523479855890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-80191375772356932010-12-22T07:11:57.018+11:002010-12-22T07:11:57.018+11:00Merry Christmas!

I'm not religiou...Merry Christmas!<br /><br />(heh heh.)<br /><br />I'm not religious. Christmas means family and friends and being nice to everyone. That's why I love it.Frogdancerhttp://dancingwithfrogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-35196534393715695232010-12-22T03:10:46.865+11:002010-12-22T03:10:46.865+11:00I can just imagine you, dearest Eleanor, sitting o...I can just imagine you, dearest Eleanor, sitting on a bus that is decked out in Christmas finery. Was there a Hanukkah bus? Come on, Sydney -- equal time for Jewish decorations, please! <br /><br />I myself tend to lean more towards the agnostic. I don't necessarily want folks to wish me a Merry Christmas but I was the first one in my neighborhood to put up my outside lights. Talk about a warped psyche, right?That Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765235570000493668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-14264814453672553102010-12-22T01:10:48.735+11:002010-12-22T01:10:48.735+11:00I marked the calendar: "Eleanor got cranky to...I marked the calendar: "Eleanor got cranky today!" <br /><br />Here in lily-white northern Wisconsin, where diversity means you are not a Lutheran of Danish extraction, Christmas is everywhere. I do not personally believe in the Baby Jesus, etc., but perhaps since I did at one time it doesn't bother me. Thank FSM no one has said, "Remember the reason for the season!" to me, though. I have my own reasons, thankyouverymuch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-76151568602108682052010-12-22T00:18:03.414+11:002010-12-22T00:18:03.414+11:00Are you going to show us your new furniture???

That's how much I've missed you. So much!<br /><br />I love it when you get ornery...and type in ALL CAPS. Oooooooooooh, Eleanor! Naughty! Naughty! I'm telling MOM!<br /><br />I'm laughing here at the way baby Jesus and his crew have been poking at you throughout the Christmas season. The final straw for me would've been the furniture movers. And yet, as someone who is painfully non-confrontational...I'd have smiled and kept my mouth shut. But that's just how E-lush rolls. Ya heard? Damn, I'm hard core.<br /><br />PS-The Christmas bus sounds fun!eurolushhttp://creategermany.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-91051053235723149952010-12-21T22:13:15.730+11:002010-12-21T22:13:15.730+11:00My goodness I love you - and I love the cranky you...My goodness I love you - and I love the cranky you even more. <br /><br />You know, I'd probably gift you foodstuffs if you - just once - turned to someone wishing you a Merry Christmas and said, Oh, I'm Jewish, Jesus is nothing to me. hughk puckh.<br /><br />Just saying. <br /><br />So when can we catch up in person?
