To all
Happy, happy Christmas to all who celebrate. And chappy Chanukkah to those (of us) who celebrate that.
It's a nice time of year. Everybody eats too much, drinks too much, talks too much, and all around, I'd say that's a good thing.
After lighting Channukah candles at home, I myself was a guest at a Noche Buena dinner in Los Castillos, and returned to my favorite watering hole, Valentino's, in Sosua, whereupon I drank 3 glasses of wine and ate 750,000 German Christmas cookies.
