“What would you like for Hanukkah?” my husband asked me.
Feeling very fortunate that he’d pose the question, I thought about my
list. I told him I’d get back to him
once I narrowed it down, as I had a lot of ideas to weed through:
I want to live in a world where people are nice to each
other; where our kids go to school and play outside in a happy, safe environment;
where men and women talk out their differences instead of hurt one another in
acts of senseless gun and domestic violence, terrorism or war; where cures for
medical conditions are achievable; where natural disasters lead to research,
not death or financial ruin; where people don’t go to bed hungry; where variety
of color, religion and sexual preference are celebrated, not denounced; and so
on.
But when he inquired again, since the holiday is right around
the corner and I hadn’t given him an answer yet, I knew I had to provide
something for him to work with.
So, I told him there’s a really pretty necklace I saw…
You can't go wrong with a necklace!
