While wishing all our Jewish friends a very happy Hanukkah which starts today, it’s worth looking at why this story has lessons we can learn from it – whether we are Jewish or not.
The Menorah that celebrates the story of Hanukkah

To all our Jewish friends, here’s hoping you’re enjoying a peaceful and restorative Hanukkah.
Happy Hanukkah!
At this time of the year there are a number of religious and other festivals, and it’s right that – as we honour all such festivals – we honour Hanukkah, with its lovely story that can inspire us for greater hope, light, peace and tranquility.
All qualities we need to cling on to even more in these turbulent, troubled times.
This year Hanukkah ends on the evening of Monday (December 10th, 2018), but for now…
Wishing everyone of the Jewish faith a wonderfully peaceful and happy Hanukkah.

One of my former copywriting colleagues was having a good old bitch earlier on Messenger about not having ideas for their next blog. I hit the roof.

Here are just a few topics that can be triggered by associations with some of the world’s special days, and I know these ideas will trigger some more for you. [Read more…]
At this time of year we Canucks celebrate a successful harvest and show our gratitude by gorging ourselves on a significant proportion of the produce we slaved all year to grow and store.
Our tasty pumpkin pie, complete with maple leaf decorations to establish its Canadian-ness. Those cranberries are a good idea, too. Yum.
Unlike the Americans we don’t wait until ten minutes before Christmas / Hanukkah / other winter celebrations to get this done when anywhere North American folks other than in southern states are beginning to need to put on their woolly knickers and cosy pyjamas (a.k.a. ‘pajamas‘ in North America).
We snotty Canucks prefer to do it at a time when the seasons are changing inspiringly, leaves on our trees are turning vivid gold, orange, bronze and other flaming colours, and the air has changed from the sultry, humid warmth of summer to the crisp invigoration of ‘the fall’ before it starts to freeze our private parts and make us scrape snow and ice off our cars in the mornings, as shown below.
