A Little Late But...

HAPPY HANUKKAH!

Technically it will be Hanukkah until sunset on Wednesday so I'm getting this in right under the wire. Hanukkah has got to be the busiest time of the year for me. I don't know why my son and I make such a big deal out of it but we do. I usually invite his friends and their families over for a full traditional Hanukkah dinner at least two if not three nights of the week and then I take him to one or two public menorah lightings and then I find some special parties and activities that we can partake in on the nights when we aren't entertaining and then, and then...

For instance on this 8th night of Hanukkah my son and I are in a hotel across the street from Disneyland. Yep, that's right, my present to my son is two days at the happiest place on earth. Tomorrow will be day two and let me tell you something, you haven't lived until you've brought a child to Disneyland. I don't care how cynical you are, once you see a kid experience The Pirates of The Caribbean for the first time you have to put all your pessimism aside and embrace the magic. Oh, and word to the wise: if you plan on coming hear think twice before you book a room at one of the Disney hotels. The rates are somewhere between $225-and $380 a night for a standard room depending on which one of their hotels you stay at and when you visit. On the other hand I'm staying at a perfectly nice motel that is literally across the street from Disney's main gate and I'm paying $53 a night. So you have to ask yourself, how important is it to you to have Mickey ears on your bed sheets?

Anyway, I'm tired and I have another big day tomorrow so again: Happy Hanukkah to all and to all a good night!
