Contemplation Time
I'm walking through the grocery store and can't help but notice something called a Chanukah House. Had to have it:
I take this confectionery contraption into work because it might melt in the car. Thinking back to certain declarations I've made against the combining of holidays, it occurs to me that sh*t might be shoveled my way for such a purchase.
"You've sold out!"
Beth's first words. We argue all day and into the next. I maintain this is not like putting up lights and attempting to assimilate. Beth and the rest of my girls aren't buying it.
I do believe people enjoy giving me sh*t. And that's all there is to it.

Now THAT'S a piece of art! hahaha And yes, I can see the enjoyment friends are giving you...
Don't worry about the crap you get. I get crap all the time for being an atheist with an xmas tree and lights on the house.
So what!
I can't speak for you, but we do the whole Santa thing for our kids. No angels, no mangers, no swaddling clothes. Only a chance for them to get excited about some white-bearded husky fellow sneaking in to the house and giving them gifts just to make them happy.
Does that make me a sell-out? Who cares. I know what I do and do not belive, and that's what matters.
Meh, it's a nice Chanukah house and good on you for buying it. Last I checked, there was no real religious flag speared into the concept of gingerbread houses, although individual properties may develop their own character. Anyway, merry Chanukah and now you know you have at least one house you can get rid of.
I think the Chanukah house is a good investment. Nice neighborhood, there's a deli going in a few blocks up, the Goldsteins are moving in next door and pretzel fences add value. Now, I know the gingerbread real estate market is in a slump now, but just wait til next season when it comes back with a vengeance once they lower interest rates and give a few tax breaks for solar powered menorahs.
