Alfred, Karen,

Did you get the point, perhaps more appropriately, the context of of today's "Off the Mark?"

Yes, instantly! Thanks for the link.

I have to be honest and say no, until I looked at the comments below the cartoon, and then OH beside me exclaimed, 'oh yes, dreidels - a kind of top'. Interestingly, or perhaps coincidentally, enough, he knew this because this morning the Alexa Question of the Day was 'What Hebrew character does not appear on a dreidel?'

As you say, there are a lot of common threads running through the different religious beliefs. I always respect the Path that others follow. Comparative Religion was one of my favourite subjects at school. We even went to visit a synagogue, us girls up in the balcony. It was all quite fascinating for me.

I am sorry to hear about your back. If you are open to it, your name can go in my Reiki Distant Healing Pot, for Healing Light and Love to go your way.

Wishing you well, and all the Blessings of the Season.

I had two crushed vertebrae a couple of years ago, and I've really shrunk in body height.

Add to that, severe heart valve leakage - leaves me out of breath and fatigued.

As I'm 87 in 60 days, it's not surprising!

Merry Xmas!

I must confess to being more than slightly alarmed to read that you’ve cracked “another” vertebra!!

Light the first candle tonight.

I feel too frail, having cracked another vertebra, to find and post, as I usually do throughout the festival, a picture of a chanukia with candles numbering from 1 tonight, to 8 on the 25th. Last day is Boxing Day 26th.

All our best wishes for the Festival we celebrate, and a peaceful, happy and comfortable Xmas to all of you who celebrate that.

Not to say that elements of the Winter Solstice Festival don't creep in our side door! Winter Solstice turkey, WS Pudding,...

In my household we don't put up decorations or a tree, although those of the family who married out do have trees. Serve them right that their cats destroy them....

p.s. Winter Solstice references are not intended to be woke, but to emphasise the common origin of some of these festivals.
