Bits and Bobs

Merry Anniversary to us! I say Merry - because we got married 2 years ago on Christmas day. We celebrated last night by going out to Jerusalem's only Kosher Irish pub, O'Connels. It was good but didn't feel very Irish or Pubby.

Speaking of things that don't feel like they should - I grew up in a city in Australia famous for the biggest Kosher barbecue and beach gathering on Christmas day in the world. It's weird to have snow/sleet on Christmas.

More on Christmas! Anyone else notice more and more "Christmas" in Israel each year. Like waking this year to church bells, and my local supermarket in Talpiot selling Santa Clause Hessian bags filled with sweets and chocolates or Galgalatz playing Christmas songs? Or is it just me?

Anyway... Happy Channukah!
