A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ION, does anyone know where I can buy a very simple, inexpensive menorah? And the candles? Hanukkah falls over Xmas this year, and M will be with us, so we want to honor it.

(Although he's mainly reminded us SEVERAL TIMES that Hanukkah is this year and that means DAYS OF PRESENTS!!)

Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.

In your defense, you probably weren't paying attention to fonts in the '70s and early '80s, when Souvenir was egregiously overused.

If you don't have a local Judaica shop (my impression of how common these are may be a weeeeee bit NYC-skewed), Amazon.

[eta: Also, my Mom buys me a cheap menorah almost every year through her synagogue's Hebrew school fundraiser, so that would be another option.]

SO many book covers. So many.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.

It has a pleasing curve. I want to snuggle with it. (Except for the lower-case "b," which is too roly-poly.)

I definitely was not, unless it was on the cover of Duran Duran LPs.

Souvenir was used everywhere, and inevitably too small or too large for the font style.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I for certain have seen menorahs (menorahim?) at Good Will and such places. It's not like they're consecrated.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Erin, I believe I saw menorahs at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. So another option.

So freaking tired. A nap is going to happen soon and I'll make up for it by working later today.

Really, almost any place that sells Christmasy stuff will have a token Hannukah shelf with menorahs, candles, and blue wrapping paper.
