We have so much snow around , its insane!
Schools are closed.Hubby also did not go to work today!!

Hubby’s birthday is around the corner..
Girls and I are very excited!
I plan to make chocolate brownie that his mom makes and he loves!
A cake ofcourse too!
‘Hanukkah’ the eight day festival of lights starts on friday!
This calls for Adam Sandler’s famous song on Hanukkah!
If we explore cultures we find that so many festivals are called “festival of lights”, some that i have found are Diwali , Hanukkah and Karthigai Deepam.
Bibi has mastered the first 4, most important lines of a very difficult song.
Jaya Jaya Devi Daya Lahari.
Janani Saraswathi Paalayamam.
Amale Kamala Sanasahithe.
Adbutha Charithe Palaya Maam
Here is the song sung by elder girls.Bibi sings in a different tune and still needs to learn all the highs and lows but she has got the words right and we plan to make her sing for grandma on her dad’s birthday!
Fifi and Bibi also sit like these girls and are learning Talam with their right hand.
Also Christmas season is in full gear!I am supposed to make ginger bread house and cookies with the girls!I have already braught the ingredients, so may be tomorrow!

Thanks for peeking in on me, I generally aren’t so late with comments. I think I bite off more than I can chew sometimes. Sorry, but please do come back.
..
What a wonderful mixture of celebrations! I love all the singing and music and family time. The clothing is so beautiful, I wish I could wear some of it here.
Thank you for posting Adam Sandler’s song… I LOVE it and it is the first time I have heard it this year, it always makes me laugh…
Enjoy all your festivities!
U will have to post a pic of that gingerbread house!!! What a busy time of year for you and your family! It would take me all of Jan to recover!
The video was amazing – thank you for sharing!
Hi! I love the Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler! It is on my iPod!
I like your blog
Happy Hanukkah! Love the new look. My son is still waiting for snow. He is planning to make the biggest snowman ever:)
The Adam Sandler song was new to me, thanks! But the candlestick you showed is NOT a menorah. Menorahs have EIGHT candles plus a lighter one, or shamash candle, so there are nine altogether. Love the diversity on here.
No matter what you celebrate and what you do or don’t believe, the message of light is a good one. So often we are so bogged down in the darkness, it’s nice to have a season where we remember the light.
