Not Knowing What I’m Missing — For the Most Part

How can I miss it if I never lost it in the first place.  It being that the shimmer and bling of seasonal wonderland retail display windows, supermarket muzak tracks, and the fact that I’ve never practiced the religion held by the majority of the United States.

Goy Envy

Here’s the thing, though.  I’m only human. I’m only human and because I’m only human, how in the world could I not have just a little bit of goy envy in me?  Here’s how it works.  The majority of the carols could melt like Frosty and I wouldn’t be any worse off. Exception being The Little Drummer Boy.

The Little Drummer Boy

The Little Drummer boy is different.  It is a song that is so humbling, so majestic, so pacifying and utterly humanizing that no matter where I am and what I am doing, it is a song that freezes time.

In the meantime, I’m posting a picture of mom’s Hanukkah display to assure her that I haven’t lost my mind — I mean, my identity.
