One year Jeffrey Andrew David came home from school crying to my sister saying it wasn’t fair Jewish kids got presents for 8 days and he only got them for one. And then got an attitude with his mother blaming her because he wasn’t Jewish.
We still tease him about it every year.

I was raised Catholic and always wanted to be Jewish, I think because we talked a lot in school about how Jesus was Jewish (it seems like they harped on it, in retrospect, in fact) and had a seder before Easter which I always dug.

Now, just boring old lapsed, but I like Christmas. And I like to think I’d use the same approach if I had a kid. It’ll be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Heck, if you’ve got candles and a little wisdom from the internet you’re good to get started I’d think.

My friend, Leon, writes a great blog about how he’s come to find the practice for his Judaism with his family. You could check that out if you want: http://www.torahdinner.com/etone/

You can make a potato menorrah! Carve holes in potatoes! Pieces of potatoes that you saved from when you were grating them to make the latkes. Put the potatoes in a row! That can be tonight’s menorah, and then the next one can be different (because while the oil might’ve lasted 8 days in the story, I doubt the little potato hulls will)

This is totally how we plan to approach religion with our kid. It’s cool to actually see [read about] it in action.
