Today is Christmas ... and it is also the last night of Chanukah. So, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah! And Happy Festivus to anyone who doesn't celebrate either.
For those that don't know, Chanukah is the Jewish festival of lights. This is the holiday that involves lighting the Menorah (Chanukah candles), eating latkes (potato pancakes), exchanging gifts, playing spin the Dreidel (a gambling game), and enjoying a sense of family togetherness for eight days and nights.
That's a long time, right?! Well, sometimes it seems even longer with my family.
To help you stay in the right mood, here is a video of "The Chanukah Song," performed by comedian Adam Sandler on Saturday Night Live. It became an instant classic (and he has since released a second, third, and fourth version.)
Here is the video. And, if you're feeling left out - here's Adam Sandler's Christmas Song.
The cynic in me believes merchants invented the gift part of the holiday.
Regardless, the Capitalogix team has been festive, and the office has been filled with holiday cheer. Here is a picture that some of the team took after our ugly sweater contest.
I hope you're having a wonderful celebration surrounded by people you love and food that would make your cardiologist feel safe buying a new Porche.
