We’re Jews That Believe in Santa

by

I have very fond memories from my childhood of Christmas. I remember going out at night as a family and driving around the city to check out all of the “hot” spots and neighborhoods decked out with lights.

My favourite part of the holiday season

Besides the glitter, shopping, delicious food and family time, there’s one more thing that I love about the holidays. As a mom to three young kids, it’s not often that I get a night out.
