Chag Purim!

(New Maccabeats song about Purim.)

Purim is one of my own favorite holidays. It's a joyful holiday predicated on the recurring theme in Jewish history-"They tried to kill us. We survived. Let's eat!"

We'll probably take Naomi to the Purim Schpiel this year at the schul we like. She may not handle the noise well, but we'll sit near the back and if she can't handle it, we can always step out. She'll enjoy getting to wear her princess dress and crown. I assume we'll take Miriam as well, but I'm not sure how she'll handle it.

This weekend will probably involve hamentaschen. Lots and lots of hamentaschen. Flavors (beyond apricot, cause that's my favorite) TBD. Miriam will get to eat her first hamentaschen this year too.

And then ladysmith and I need to get to work on our Passover project.
