Hey, is anyone here celebrating Hanukkah? If so, would you mind a really unorthodox guest (pun sort of intended?)

Five second educational spiel for everyone who might not know: This in an Earth origin holiday, in Jewish tradition, that stems from a pretty well documented historical event. The rededication of the Temple that was the center of worship for the Jewish people.

There's lighting of candles involved, but it's really not like Christmas at all. It's its own thing.

probably where you are if that works for you

that way theres fewer people to accidentally blind if i use too much oil

(i wont use too much oil but that was a problem when i first started cooking)

I'd love to have you over. One of my housemates can be weird about strangers, tho.

[That is absolutely the most diplomatic way he can think of to express the many issues with sharing a house with Anakin Skywalker.]

[hachitaro]

Weird in what way? Like the "don't talk to me" way or the "get out of my house" way?

[ezra_of_lothal]

Depends on the day, honestly.

[He flips to private, because it's his policy not to shit talk Anakin on the public network.]

It's complicated. He's an unhappy guy and I don't approve of how he acts sometimes. But in a couple ways, he's family to me, even if he doesn't see me that way.

And I'm not willing to leave my other housemate, who acknowledged me as family without me ever asking - and was the brother who raised me in the Earth life, although he doesn't have those memories, only knows that I have them - alone to deal with that mess.

Honestly, trying to celebrate Hanukkah at home when Ben doesn't remember any of that would just make me sad anyway. He'd be supportive, I'm sure, because that's how he usually is in any life, but yeah.

Let's do it at Sanctuary, then. As long as they'll be okay with it? I don't really know people there.

Sansa's onboard for general celebration. As long as we don't mess up the free meal distribution, we should be good.
