Hanukkah come early

Hi Mom,

Though the Christmas display isn't up yet, the dreidel corner is already in full force (as full force as it will be) at Twelve Oaks. I sat on a couch nearby, remembering when Ealy Elementary's choir sang Frosty the Snowman and other seasonal specialties in the atrium.

It was a big deal: a bus trip, the mall, our outfits, the works. Someone was out sick one of those concerts and I got to be Frosty, if I recall correctly.

We sang Hanukkah songs back then, too. Though I'm not sure I remember there being a whole dreidel display. I remember trying to visit Santa, candy canes and gingerbread houses...the season may be upon us (in November).

Love,
Karen
