I am surprised, no… shocked, appalled, scandalized… that I haven’t been flooded with e-mails asking “Nu… how did the Chanukah Christmas Eve dinner go?” I guess everyone got it out of their system beforehand asking “How are you gonna pull that one off and keep everyone happy?” Look, we all know (even those who don’t want to admit it) that early Catholicism co-opted already existing festivals to make them more palatable to whomever they were in the midst of converting. And we Jewish folk will eat pretty much anything if it’s put in front of us, and second helpings please - oh sure, it’s not like grandma used to make, but it’ll do in a pinch. Or for dinner.
Comments from some of the guests:
"Just a quick note to let you know how much we loved Christmas Eve dinner. The food was indeed fabulous! I love all the mixing and matching - so creative and delicious. Also, thank you for for not even knowing that you played yenta for us with D... and F.... We have been spending a fare amount of time with them and enjoying every minute. You salon was everything we hope for. Thank you." - T.W.
"I enjoyed the dinner very much! We even took D...'s restaurant recommendation in Iguazu which was great and ran into D... & E... a few times. Glad I booked this with you... it was my first dinner of this sort and I will definitely be seeking out more. I will also recommend your Site to anyone I know visiting BA." - J.E.
