Little Moira in a Hanukkah to remember...
It was a cold and crisp night and within a local suburban household a young mother was preparing for the holiday season with her baby girl.
As little Moira Pryde Rasputin lies in her playpen playing with her toys her mother, Katherine Pryde Rasputin was preparing the table for dinner.
Soon she grabs Moira from her excitement and walks towards the family dinning room table.
"Sorry to disturb you from your playing kid-o, but I have something to show you," Katherine said to her confused child as she shows her a weird looking candle holder that was placed at the center of the dinner table.
Moira tries to take hold of the candle holder that she sees this as a play thing, but Kitty stopped her and stated, "No Moira, that isn't a plaything. That is your birthright. This strange thing represents the holiday we Jewish people celebrate each year. That holiday is called Hanukkah."
Moira looked at her mom with confusion. "Ga?" she questioned.
"Now I got your attention didn't I?" stated Kitty, "Well let see if I can recall what Hanukkah is? Well, it's about a holiday where every year each Jewish family would light up a candle stand with eight different candles. These candles represent the eight days within Hanukkah, but you don't have to worry about the history of the holiday until you're older. All you get to know is that you get presents on each of the eight days, but since we're a mixed family we also get to celebrate Christmas too. So that means more presents for you on what we now call Christ-mukkah."
Kitty tickles her daughter, who responds with giggles of delight.
"And later after Hanukkah is over, you, me, and daddy will go out and find the perfect Christmas tree."
"Ga-ga," squealed the happy child to her mother's delight.
"This is a great idea Peter," Kitty Pryde thought, "Moira needs to know of her heritage sooner or later."
Kitty looks at her daughter as they await the arrival of Peter Rasputin who was kindly enough to volunteer to play Santa Claus at the local mall in up town Chicago, Illinois.
