Converting to Judaism

When your first grader comes home insisting that he is Jewish.............that's calls for some fun conversation!! Noah learned all about Hanukkah in school today. They played spin the Dreidel too which is a fun fun game!

"I have a little Dreidel.
I made it out of clay.
And when it's dry and ready
Dreidel I will play.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.
I made it out of clay.
And when it's dry and ready
Dreidel I will play."

But Noah's real conversion to Judaism came when he learned that during Hanukkah the children receive eight days of gifts. Most of the 30 minutes of conversation was filled with tears as I explained to Noah that we really weren't Jewish. I told him we could still play Dreidel and that we could open our gifts on Christmas. But, rrreeeaaalllyyy, how can one day of gifts compete with eight? The tears kept pouring but he soon settled with being a Christian kid from English heritage....
