Sometimes I just want to shout, "Not everyone celebrates Christmas, you know!"
Growing up I loved and looked forward to the eight nights each December when my family celebrated Hanukkah. We'd light our menorah, fry up latkes, sing songs, play driedle and exchange small gifts. Sometimes on those same wintry evenings, I'd peek out my bedroom window late at night (or what seemed late at the time) and look out at all the blinking happy lights in the neighborhood. I loved how they looked. Although I grew up in an area with many Jewish families, we lived in a part of town where few others celebrated Hanukkah. By the age of seven or so, I began to feel a little sad about our unadorned house. I also worried that everyone would know we were Jewish, which somehow felt wrong or bad in this particular neighborhood, where we…

Thanks for your perspective, although Gov. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island did not "rename" the State House Tree. His predecessor, Republican Gov. Donald Carcieri, had also used the term holiday tree (and noone seemed to care), so I think this "issue" (or non-issue) has more to do with Gov. Chafee's politics than anything else. As a nontheist, I don't really care what people say to me over the … more ›
Relax. You’ll find everything you need for the holiday right here in the ‘hood.
Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November, yet despite being armed with this knowledge since childhood, we'll inevitably still find ourselves overwhelmed and scrambling at the last minute to get everything we need for the big day. But whether on the hunt for the perfect turkey, pie or centerpiece, local libations or kitchen equipment must-haves, it's good to know that we can find everything we need — much of it locally produced — at our favorite neighborhood spots. TURKEY UP: City Feed and Supply (672 Centre St. & 66a Boylston St.) is currently taking orders for pasture-raised turkey from Misty Knoll Farms (New Haven, Vt.) and heritage heirloom turkey from Koch Farms (Tamaqua, Penn.). Prices are $4.99/lb, and $4.59/lb, …

Love it or hate it,Labor Day marks the end of summer and time for the kids to head back-to-school.
Labor Day originated over a hundred years ago as a “national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country,” according to the US Department of Labor. These days, Labor Day weekend typically brings cookouts, family gatherings, visits to the seashores and last pilgrimages to seasonal ice cream spots (Five Seas or Sundae School anyone?). Generally, more attention is paid to the food and fun than the contributions of workers to the well-being of our country. But I digress. For parents, Labor Day is a time of transition. It is a clear demarcation between summer and fall (even though autumn doesn’t officially begin until the third week of September). It also marks, at least on the …
