Or Happy Bris as a friend of mine pointed out. Although the calendar is supposed to date from the birth of Jesus, it actually begins eight days after his birth. Why? Because–being born into a Jewish household–that would have been his bris. Interesting, no?
In any case, Rob and I woke up late this morning. He made waffles and now we are lounging around in our pajamas. I hope your New Year has as satisfactory a beginning as ours.
