Since we were talking of Thanksgiving and such- I was wondering if there was anyone ~~else~~ on the island who is planning on celebrating Hanukkah?

	Well, i wasn't exactly planning on it, sir, but - well - I'd certainly rather celebrate the winter holidays with a Chosen Person, rather than a "Chosen Person," if you get the difference, I mean...? Are you yourself Jewish, sir? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh. Well. I- think I know what you mean. Goodness. Yes, I am. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, no, sir....! I'm -- well. I was born a Buddhist, raised a Christian, and - well.... now I'm mostly atheistic these days, after what I've seen in my life, specially from so-called "Christians"... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What an interesting mix. Well, if you would like to add another to the mix, you would certainly be welcome to celebrate with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed, I would, sir! It's why I said that I would rather spend the winter holidays with a Chosen Person than a bloody "Chosen Person"! Thanks very much for inviting me, sir....! I mean, when is Hanukkah this year...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's just swell! You're welcome. I'd rather not spend it alone. It starts on Wednesday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psi_che_you_out 2013-11-24 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yes, I can definitely understand that! I mean, I think that it's just sad to spend the holidays alone - which is why, I suppose, I think that I stayed inside the hospital most holidays: because so many of may patients would otherwise have been alone, you know...?

	Absolutely. How very kind of you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm Jewish so I will be celebrating Hanukkah. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-24 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, that's wonderful! I wasn't sure if I was the Lone Jew on this island. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	glee_rachel 2013-11-25 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Nope, your looking at another Jewish person here. I'm looking forward to Hanukkah here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-25 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's just swell, really. My- housemates have been kind enough to agree that we may use the townhouse. So, I look forward to seeing you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can't exactly call myself much of any religion at all, but we could host a Jewish meal at the townhouse to celebrate the festival if you wanted. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-24 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, well, I wouldn't want to put you out like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brotherofdemons 2013-11-24 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	How is it putting me out? I've eaten any number of things, a Hanukkah meal is hardly that bad. We've the twins to look after, true, but aside from that there's no reason we can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-24 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	~~Well, because it's~~ ~~You might not want~~ ~~It's not the eating~~ Perhaps I am simply not used to such tolerance, but I must remind myself that I am in quite a different place, with very different people, now. Well- wonderful. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brotherofdemons 2013-11-24 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Jay, while I came from slightly before your time you keep forgetting I had a very unconventional upbringing. You're always welcome at my table my friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-24 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, of course. I know. Thank you. Truly, you have been such a wonderful friend to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What deity a man prays to is irrelevant to me. What matters is the content of their character. You didn't show any discomfort being around me when I was Rae, that meant a lot to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psi_che_you_out 2013-11-25 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Indeed, sir....! I mean, i don't pray to any deity anymore, but - well, I can only hope that you'd see me as the whole of my character, rather than judge me based on that tiny little fact... So am I to understand that I will get to meet your adorable little twins, when I come over to your home for the Hanukkah meal that Jay has invited me to...? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gatz 2013-11-25 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Quite so. When you put it like that- why, it seems silly that anyone would feel differently. Ah, well. I imagined it had to be stranger for you than it was for me, and so- I wouldn't want to make it any worse by acting any differently around you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My daughter and I will be celebrating Hanukkah. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-11-25 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, wonderful! Would you care to join us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proud_miserable 2013-11-26 07:59 am UTC (link)
	Yes, we'd love to! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Swell. We'll be at the townhouse. [details of location.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
