Gingerbread

Had a lovely evening baking gingerbread with I and J.

Of course, the issue was brought up but it seems like the tree at their (paternal) grandparents' house will do just fine like it always does.

Bush or no bush?

This year, my 6-year-old is asking - well, he's actually begging - for a Christmas tree.

The question was inevitable so I should have had a plan, but I don't. And in a certain way, I'm not totally against it either. After all, the tree doesn't really have any religious meaning and the thought of having a beautifully decorated tree to light up our house during the darkest season of the year, is quite tempting actually.

But then again, wouldn't a tree steal the Chanukkiah's thunder in a way? Even if I chanukkize it?

Found this tree here!
