So this morning I came into work. Almost everyone in the office asked me if I got any good presents. Oy. I hate to say this, and I know that they are just trying to be nice, but... I am going to say it... this isn't a holiday about presents. Besides if it was I would be incredibly insulted because your lack of generosity in getting me a Hanukah gift at all.

No card, no gift, just asking me what I got. Its really obnoxious. I won't ask a single person in this office what their family got them for Christmas. See there are a couple of reasons... one (and this will be the most obvious) I don't really care and second (and this should also be made abundantly clear) it isn't any of my business.

I am not largely unsentimental, infact I am completely the opposite. I went to my Mom and Dad's house last night had perhaps what was the most perfect brisket sandwhich on the most amazing little challah roll. And for lunch today I had a second sandwhich and it was so good I almost cried. Not just a nosh. It was probably the best barbeque brisket sandwhich I have ever had.
