What incredible and life changing experiences you are having, priceless .....as the Visa commerical says. They have certainly given me a picture of life in India. I was going to ask how you celebrated Hannukah and low and behold you answered my question before I could ask. One can never go wrong with Latkes and Jelly donuts. The Christmas carol with "Gloria in excelsis deo" is from is "Angels we have heard on high" which I believe was orginally a French carol. I remember it as in the 4th grade I was so impressed with the carol we learned in chorus that I asked my Hebrew School teacher if we could translate it to hebrew to sing in our Choir. The answer was a tactiful no ! I look forward to hearing all about Grandma Ginny and Susannah's adventures in India. Have a healthy,happy and peaceful new year<BR/><BR/>Deirdre SpelmanGrandma Ginny's friend Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515033345364629283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605176388049942926.post-32055168587691471332008-12-25T20:36:00.000-05:002008-12-25T20:36:00.000-05:00Happy Holidays to everyone, from very snowy Wiscon...Happy Holidays to everyone, from very snowy Wisconsin. We had our Xmas dinner this afternoon, thanks to frozen food left from T'giving: roast turkey breast, Daniel's famous garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing. We used the silver, china [the heirloom clover dishes], and crystal--special. That was to compensate for its being just the two of us. Latkes will come maybe on Dec. 27 (thank goodness Hanukkah lasts 8 days!)<BR/> We are listening to The Three Tenors as I type; now it's "Silent Night" in several different languages....wonderful.<BR/>Love,<BR/>MeeMaGrampyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017914313112537017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605176388049942926.post-52339709227010061862008-12-25T12:29:00.000-05:002008-12-25T12:29:00.000-05:00And Happy Holidays to you all from Greensboro.
