Ohh no problem, I just though it was funny tho. Just to think about what that other angie thought of your post.....LMAO. I will for sure have the best Christmas ever....this is different....I am celebrating our Lord's birth, and it is up to me to focus on the blessings and everything he has given me or to focus on the things I do not have. I rather focus on what I have!!! I have my children, my family, my friends, and now a new friend and that would be you!!! thank you for making me feel special... But most importantly I have HIM!!!  LOL I love you my friend. Angie.

Well, we found our menorah today! My daughter and I were delighted. It was given to me by a friend. I never remember which box I packed it in. So, seeing it was great. Special memories in that thing. A friend sent it to me several years ago. We can't say the prayers but we can pray for peace and love.

How ya doing?
Lighting the candles every night? I am doing AWESOME, Mark.. Just AWESOME.... You betcha I'm lighting the candles every night with my children. L'dor v'Dor, from generation to generation..... :happyhanukkah: Hey MY, I heard from a little birdie what you wrote that got edited out. Ok, just so you know that would have HURT deeply, so I'm grateful I am just hearing it now.  It's Christmas Eve for many of MY FAMILY ON HERE, time for RL family, and appreciation for the miracles in life etc. My life, ME QUEENIE, who I have become is the BIGGEST miracle because it's a process and journey that has been lead by G-d. From where I started to where I am just today. I have achieved and continue to achieve personal recovery DAILY. I may have those set backs, but that's ok, because they become markers for me to work through, seek G-d, celebrate my new life and caring for myself along with seeing how time heals all. :MerryChristmas:

Merry Christmas Cinderella, How cool. What kind of a menorah is it? Do you want the transliteration to say the prayers? Mark posted it a few pages back. I can dig it out if you like. How are you doing tonight? I hear you have a great weekend coming up. I'm so happy that it worked out for you both. What are you doing tomorrow?

Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
asher kidishanu b'mitz'votav v'tzivanu
l'had'lik neir shel Chanukah.
Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
she'asah nisim la'avoteinu bayamim haheim baziman hazeh.
(The following is said on the first night)
Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
shehecheyanu v'kiyimanu v'higi'anu laz'man hazeh.
(For those who might not understand the above:)
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, sovereign of the universe
Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us
to light the lights of Chanukkah. Amen
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, sovereign of the universe
Who performed miracles for our ancestors in those days at this time. Amen
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, sovereign of the universe
who has kept us alive, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this season. Amen The way I originally learned it was with the word sovereign replaced by the word King. I learned it in English when I was in grade school. Mark

Mark, you are simply amazing. Are you going to midnight Mass or probably are just coming from there? What was the message if so? Do you know what I just found. A website that is tracking Santa's route. It's absolutely so cool and if any one reading this has a child up, maybe this would be interesting to you as well. I'm fascinated myself... http://www.noradsanta.org/en/home.html

Oh, Queenie, that was so seriously cool. I wish I had known and shown it to my teenagers before they went to bed. They would have enjoyed it.

Mark, thanks for the prayers.
Queenie, the menorah is a small gold colored tin menorah. A friend who converted to Judaism bought it years ago as her first menorah. She had acquired nicer one(s) and wasn't using it any more so she sent it to us about 8 or 9 years ago. Almost every year, we put it out.
I know a lot of our friends would think we're nuts but I don't care....they also wouldn't understand that, when we had to find a new family Christmas Eve tradition, we chose to stay home and roast kosher beef hot dogs over a fire in our fireplace, eat s'mores and cheesecake, and play games. Tonight is the first Christmas Eve in about 4 years that I've spent with my mom. It was really nice. Really nice.

I'm glad you had a great time tonight. Another notch in the continued healing process, wouldn't ya say.
Though I personally like your new tradition..... I love kosher dogs... I'll have to remember that idea for hanukkah when I get a fireplace again. The cheesecake.... yummmy... I'm so glad I don't keep kosher. LOL
Santa just landed in Missoula, MT.... this is just so cool.

My daughter wouldn't touch any hot dog for a long time until some of her Jewish friends convinced her that kosher ones were actually good.

Queenie,
Since I am a Protestant I don't do mass...
And our church did not have a Christmas Eve service of any kind.
Just had a quiet dinner at home, wrapped some presents and hung out a bit.

We can get them in Tennessee. I think I like them more than the Hebrew National ones.
