Just wanted to report that I really felt the Christmas spirit while making this here trifle
for our wonderful Jewish neighbors, to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah.
This glorious trifle was made of several layers: homemade chocolate cake, German chocolate frosting, chocolate mousse, and whipped cream. It was absolutely tasty, if I do say so myself.
Get ready for a cutesie story (’tis the season) after all:
When my family moved from Utah to New York we had never met a Jewish person and never heard of a holiday called Hanukkah. So one of the kids said, “Merry Christmas and a Happy Harmonica” because that is what they thought everyone else was saying when they heard people wishing each other a Happy Hanukkah.
Ah, bless! Isn’t that sort of darling?
Yes, that’s it, bless! God bless us – every last one of us!
I just LOVE this time of year!!
