Archana, I’m jealous. I grew up around the corner from the St. Louis temple. It’s an incredible building, and I always thought it was somewhat inspiring that a two mile stretch on Weidman could have a Mosque, Synagogue, and Temple all in a row.

Floridian..that was so sweet!! Your daughter is lucky to have you as parents. Our daughters are 4 and 8 months, and we (DBDs both) are in the same process ourselves of figuring this Christmas thing out. Just spent Christmas with the whole brood of Gujju in-laws who did the whole tree and presents thing with gusto, albeit with veggie Gujarati spreads on the table! It’s a fun holiday to co-opt when you have kids!

Floridian,

That was beautiful! Thank you.

Our House? I'm an ABD married to a DBD Scrooge. But we still have a 9 foot tree with all of the ornaments that I made when I was in pre-school and elementary school. I'm still amazed at how my mom preserved them all.

Happy holidays Mutineers! I hosted my usual Christmas morning brunch for select family & friends… featuring homemade potato masala dosas, coconut chutney, sambhar & gunpowder. Exhausting prep, worthwhile pay-off. And lots of Bloody Marys to perk things up. Its as close as I get to an Asian Christmas living the way I do in San Antonio…

Happy holidays everyone. Its like day 14 of snowpocalypse here in Seattle – so between walking a couple of miles to and from the bars with the few friends still around (and falling on my ass) and getting over a breakup, its not been the christmas I was hoping for but whatever, I’m making the best of it or at least giving it a shot.

Home for the holidays, and after agreeing to do Thanksgiving at somebody else’s house, we decided to take back the holidays for Christmas. Although some family members are missing, we still did the usual (secular) Christmas traditions : decorating the tree, opening presents, and cooking the big dinner – roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and my annual trifle. So far, all that is missing is the large-scale full-family argument, but the night is still young (amd relatively sober)

Floridian – thanks for the letter – it was wonderful, and I hope your daughter gets to read it sometime really soon. Your daughter is young, and probably looking to get away from the parents as often as possible, but I hope she realises what a cool dad (and mom) she has.

Happy (and safe) holidays to everyone., and I hope you all get to relax with family and friends!
