Merry Christmas from this Jew, to you

I'll keep this brief as most of you are with your families.  I wish you a happy holiday and new year.  And if you do not celebrate Christmas, I hope whatever you may be doing on this day is going well. (or at least as well as everything being closed can.)

As for me, unlike many of my fellow Jews, I will not be eating Chinese as I am a very picky eater who can count the number of foods I eat on two hands.  Still, I have spent most of this day writing and to be honest acting as life as usual.

This of course should not detract from the rest of you enjoying the relative peace of the day.  It just happens that for me, this is just another day.  A day where everything happens to be closed.

Happy Holidays all and may 2016 be even better than 2015 :)
