Three Holidays! Hooray! Hooray!

December 21, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since Christmas and Chanukah fall so near each other this year (Christmas Eve and the first night of Chanukah are both on December 24), this week’s theme is the spirit common to both holidays.

Today’s poem is for a child of a mixed marriage about celebrating all three end-of-year holidays.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Three holidays! Hooray! Hooray!

Chanukah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day!

And we celebrate all three

‘Cause we’re a lucky family.

Jewish, Christian, American,

We cherish all the days we can,

Loving all, and not just one,

‘Cause all of them are lots of fun!
