darthrami, and aside from the one time I got that beautiful chenille sweater from my social worker, albeit seven sizes too big, happy holiday experiences are thin on the ground. I have grown into the sweater now, and everyone who knows me has probably seen me in it.)

Last year, my (non-Jewish) fiancee supplied me with a silver gilt chanukiah and lovely candles. And when she came to visit over Chanukah, had learned all the words for the blessing over Chanukah candles. Now she knows them better than I do.
