Before it’s over, I wanted to blog a shout out to all my Jewish friends, family, patients, readers, and anyone else not included in that list who might like to hear: Happy Hanukkah!
A holiday that morphed from the celebration of the festival of lights (i.e. the miracle oil that lasted 8 days during the time the Maccabees fought to defend the Jewish people – or something like that) into a gift giving version of Christmas. Ha! Nevertheless, a festive time of year and as good a time as any to wish people of all religions and non-religions good fortune, health, and happiness.
