When You Celebrate Hanukkah, You Don’t Get to Buy Santa Claus in a Golf Cart Christmas Decorations

by

This post brought to you by ChristmasLightsEtc.com Every year for the past, I don’t know how many years, we’ve held a Hanukkah party at our house for Allie’s family.

Star Wars Episode VII

I still remember leaving the movie theater when I was a kid. I was 7 years old and a one-handed Luke Skywalker had just been saved. On the flip-side, a frozen Han Solo had been carted away by that no-good, rapscallion Boba Fett. And well, then the credits rolled. And the crying and confusion soon followed. “What about Han Solo?!?
