Well today is Purim. Times of joy! We are almost done making our mishloach manots -our baskets of food. Each basket has to have at least two types of food blessing (one fruit, one vegetable, or one cake type food or even drinks). Here is a picture of last years preparation:
Once we're done, we then deliver these packages to our friends, neighbors, relatives. Technically we really only need to give it to one man and one woman -that completes the requirement, but its turned into a whole thing!
I'm taking care of the baby right now so I can't do much uutil hubby comes home. They've all gone to the synagogue to hear the story of Esther. I sure hope the kids behave and only rattle their groggers at the mention of the name of Haman -as is the practice.
Then we have a festive meal! Fooood lol
And, folks get drunk drunk drunk. This is the one holiday that we must get drunk, ain't that somethin'? lol!
**** Happy Purim to all! Hope its a joyous day for all! *****
