When did we become Jewish?

Is it our family or is Christmas is no longer exclusive to December 25th? It seems that the holiday is taking on the form of Hanukkah in the sense that it is more like "eight crazy nights", instead of Christmas morning! We had a Christmas event every night since last Thursday. They are all good fun and a great way to get to see everyone over the holidays. I am afraid Brooke will not understand what the heck is going on Wednesday when it will be the first time in a week that there hasn't been a pile of gifts for her to open! We had a successful Christmas - we were able to make it over to Chicago to see family and friends and had safe travels in order to make it home Christmas Eve. Brooke was able to put cookies and carrots out for Santa and apparently start a new Munson tradition. According to her cousin Jake you are suppose to put out shoes by the fireplace and Santa will fill them with candy. (its suppose to be some St. Nicks day tradition? Thanks Jakers - Santa will be happy he has to remember one more thing! :) ) So all in all it has been a really pleasurable Xmas - Brooke loved the gifts/Santa/parties etc.... She was happy Santa remembered her dentist tools she asked for .....when she opened them she said "Mom he really is magic, he remembered!" Brady on the other hand wasn't so needy give the boy some ribbon and he was good to go! So I am not sure if I am suppose to sign off with a "Deck the halls with balls of Holly" or if I should convert to " Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah,Come light the menorah. Let's have a party, We'll all dance the hora. " Either way I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays
