(no subject)

Tonight is the eighth and last night of Chanukah.

I've been wanting for a while to write up a few thoughts about this time of year: about Christmas decorations, and Your Holiday Here generic goodwill, and multiculturalism, and Hellenism, and a bunch of other stuff.

I'd like to sum it up in a single pithy phrase, but alas that is not to be. So look for a longer post on the subject sometime soon.

Probably when a few days have gone by and they still haven't taken down the tinsel menorahs.
