Well, I have heard of some kids being very jealous of bar mitzvahs, so it goes both ways, but....no. Just no. Good grief.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, fuck that woman, Hil.
M is Jewish, and observes but is mostly not kosher. He always had Hanukkah and Christmas celebrations, but no one Xian was really churchy, so it was all gifts and food and sparkly lights.
Dan and I are agnostic/atheist, but we put up three little trees and decorate them with geeky stuff. And since part of Hanukkah falls during his time here, we have a menorah.
OH, DAMN. Can someone point me out to a cheat sheet for menorah lighting for the 21-24th? PLLLEEASE? I know M doesn't have them memorized.
Guys, notice how I'm typing normally again? I got my new tiny computer yesterday -- perfect timing. Came in the mail.
It's an HP Stream II (I think) with Windows 365 installed and I love it! IT WORKS!!! ALL THE PARTS!!!
I named it "Captain" because that is MY nickname, and also in homage to Captains Mal, America and Picard.

Hil, I'm sorry stupid people are stupid.
Tons of ~ma for Harvey.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, you'll light candles the nights of the 21-23. The blessings can be found at [link] -- you only need the first two on that page (the third one is said on the first day only).
It's totally appropriate for M to do the lighting and blessings at his age; also, it's totally appropriate at any age to print them out and read them rather than having them memorized; we have whole holidays organized around everyone reading at the dinner table! Anyway, you can follow along or join in as much as you like, but don't feel like it's on you to have to know all the stuff.
Fried food is traditional (AWW YEAH), chocolate is always welcome (gelt is fun but regular chocolate is always better chocolate), and gifts can be pretty low key -- spread out what you're giving him over the three days, but it's pretty normal to get just a little thing and not a whole big Christmassy production.
