12 Days to Chrismukkah

Card sales seem to be winding down just as the so called "War on Christmas" is heating up. Somehow, even my silly little cookbook has been dragged into the fight. Nonetheless, or perhaps because of, it's selling like hot potato latkes. Food is the great cultural unifier... a demiliterized zone for the holiday. Today someone heard talk about us on our local NPR station. I got calls that we were the subject of the day this morning on a radio station in the Boston area. Google the word Chrismukkah and it seems to be everywhere. But who cares about the news when there's more important things to watch on TV! The other night, Chrismukkah was mentioned twice on Grey's Anatomy. This Thursday, the heavily hyped "Chrismukkah Bar Mitzahkah episode airs on the O.C. Then, Bravo's "100 Great Things About the Holidays" continues to be repeated with Chrismukkah in position #89. Finally, Michelle and I have been invited to be guests on "The Today Show" for their holiday special airing 12/25. I'm not sure what we'll be doing or what they'll be asking us, but we're excited about having the opportunity to fly to NYC all expense paid. In just another couple of weeks, we'll be back in holiday hibernations mode once again. Anyway, no time to blog when there's books waiting to be packed and shipped.
