Happy Chanukah!

Welcome to our third annual Chanukah party! If you couldn't make it, here's a taste of what you missed....


A few decorations to set the mood....

And just a little food. Don't need to overdo it......

Mike, Vicki and Chuck learn that you can't chat without being interrupted by a photographer in this house.


"It's no good pretending she's not there," Wendy and Raye tell Shelly. "She can still see you."


"'ere, Uh nooz Uh only cem 'ere becooze ov 'ilary's blug," Geordy Sue from Dubai tells Neighbor John. "But that duzney mean I wanter be innit."

The Duke and Duchess of Douglas Avenue are game for some new games with a little help from Jim and Bernie.

Kay Mary and David Harleyson learn you can only look presentable at a party if you leave the bike at home.

Spike and Annamarie

It's been a long night for the Oracle...luckily Rebecca of Sunnybrook Drive is there for a little support

Rabbi Marc Rudolph lights the candles on the hannukiah for us. Why do it yourself when you can call in a professional?

"Look, I don't mind lighting the candles, but I wish Hilary wouldn't insist on writing scripts for everyone. I would never say this.

"And she thinks she can write songs? This one doesn't even rhyme!"





Playing around. The Oracle exchanges his golf club for a game piece.

Congregation Beth Shalom board meeting - Middy and Marc with Alberto and Marta.

"Smile please!" Grumpy wore a face mask throughout the night because he has a cold and didn't want to infect everyone. It was amazing how appreciative our guests were, although Rabbi Rudolph wants to make it clear that Purim is the festival when we usually wear masks!
