12/16/06 - NNHS Newsletter - Happy Hanukkah! Hanukkah is here! May the warmth and glow of each candle you light make your heart and home happy and your Hanukkah bright.

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 

   Today is the first full day of Hanukkah!  I found this web page last year which gives some interesting background information:

Of course, it would be much more fun hearing your first-hand accounts!  Because unless you count playing with    Carla Fine's (Cripps - '65 - of Australia) and    Debby Fink's (Golden - '65 - of MA) dreidels in the cafeteria at Magruder School (and I certainly wouldn't - GIGGLES!), I really have no first-hand experience with celebrating Hanukkah.      Karen Weinstein Witte ('60) of FL shared the story of her dreidel collection with us last year: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/12-27-05-NNHS-2nd-Day-of-Hanukkah.html    Thanks again, Karen!   Perhaps you acquired some new ones, yes??

=================================

   It's also the 62nd anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.  You know what that means, doncha?!?  That's right!  It's time for your homework!

  From Randy Tate ('66) of DE - 12/15/06 - "This is too funny!":

   Oh, I love this one, Randy!  I think this needs to be distributed on a monthly (if not weekly!) basis.  It seems the world is filled with dreamers who just can't resist believing in totally impossible things.  I'm a big dreamer myself, but even I tend to give a passing nod to reality once in a while!  Thanks, Sweetie!

=================================

  From  Pam Wright Owen ('62) of VA - 12/15/06:

   WOWZERONI - congratulations, Pam!  I'll keep you on until the 21st, and await hearing from you after that!  Thanks for letting us know!  And enjoy your well-earned retirement!

=================================

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 12/15/06 - "Merry Christmas":

Running out but these are good.

Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
 

Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
The sweet celebration
Around the feast we gather
in complete jubilation

Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that the Season of Lights is here
Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that the Season of Lights is here

Together we'll weather
whatever tomorrow may bring
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Hanukkah song that we sing
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Hanukkah song that we sing

Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
The Festival of Joy
A holiday, a jolly day
for every girl and boy
Whirling dreidels all week long
Eating latkes, singing songs
Whirling dreidels all week long
Eating latkes, singing songs

Now light them, tonight then
The candles all in a row
Retell the story of God in his glory
and dance by the flickering glow
Retell the story and God in his glory
dance by the flickering glow
