Part of my job is buying and merchandising Christmas lights for a retailer in Long Island. This time of the year we have purple and yellow lights out for Halloween and I decided to put some blue and white lights out because I am convinced that we'll sell some for sukkot decorations. I thought it would be a fun experiment, and somewhere out there a Jewish person, visiting with the kids during Chol Hamoed would be excited to find something fun among all the goyish seasonal decorations. Someone else removed the lights from the display for being seasonally irrelevant. I was so mad about it I couldn't sleep last night which is admittedly ridiculous. Just wanted to relay this stupid thing bc of Chaya Leah's story about decorating the table for Rosh Hashana. Every year I roll my eyes at the Chanukah decorations during Christmas, but I've softened on them a little knowing people mean well.
What’s substack?
