Parenting.........................

I am Catholic and my wife is Jewish, so in our home we celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas, which our sons, Tom and Jack, regard as an excellent thing.  People sometimes ask me if it is hard to raise children in respect and love for two great faiths that have a slight doctrinal disagreement between them, and I say:  not if you give them presents every day for eight days of Hanukkah and for Christmas.  The more Gods the merrier is Tom and Jack's strong belief.
-Michael Kelly, as excerpted from his wonderful essay, The Nine Day's of Tom and Jack, a fine piece of writing which will probably be transcribed in full on this blog in the not-to-distant future.
