Of course is always the inspirational pleasure to listen to Golijov!

Yes, it begins tonight and I better get on the stick and buy a nice present for my wife.  Think I'll buy her some music; every time I get her fine clothing, she takes it back to the store for an exchange.  Guess I'll never be a contestant on Project Runway.

Shouldn't that be Happy Holiday?

I mean, we've PC'ed the word "Christmas" into oblivion so how come "Hanukkah" gets a free pass? 8) 8)

Level playing field and all that...

Good point, Don, - but my non-scholarly reply should be in the Diner. - Call the moderator? -

Christmas is a holiday celebrating the alleged birth of a human, upon whose person a religion was founded. As I understand the short video posted by Saul in the Diner, Chanukah is the observance of historical events, comparable to our 4th of July or France's Bastille Day.  ;)

Perhaps...

The "religious-ity" is hard to miss, however... :)
