I learned something new today. I'm prepared with an image for Christmas celebrated by the Orthodox Churches tomorrow. But, I found out the one country which celebrates today is Armenia. I'm trying to celebrate the season for everyone so... Merry Christmas!

Happy Three Kings Day/Little Christmas/Epiphany!

Day 12..!

Day 11...

A Blessing for your new home: Birkat Habayit בְּזֶה הַשַּׁעַר לֹא יָבוֹא צַעַר. בְּזֹאת הַדִּירָה לֹא תָבוֹא צָרָה. בְּזֹאת הַדֶּלֶת לֺא תָבוֹא בֶּהָלָה. בְּזֹאת הַמַּחְלָקָה לֺא תָבוֹא מַחְלוֹקֶת. בְּזֶה הַמָּקוֹם תְּהִי בְרָכָה וְשָׁלוֹם. וְעָ֥שׂוּ לִ֖י מִקְדָּ֑שׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּ֖י בְּתוֹכָֽם׃ (שמות כה:ח) בְּ֭חָכְמָה יִבָּ֣נֶה בָּ֑יִת וּ֝בִתְבוּנָ֗ה יִתְכּוֹנָֽן׃ וּ֭בְדַעַת חֲדָרִ֣ים יִמָּלְא֑וּ כָּל־ה֖וֹן יָקָ֣ר וְנָעִֽים׃ (משלי כד:ג-ד) מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל. (במדבר כד:ה) Translation: Let no sadness come through this gate. Let no trouble come to this dwelling. Let no fear come through this door. Let no conflict be in this place. Let this home be filled with blessing and peace. And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. (Exodus 25:8) Through Ḥokhma (Wisdom) is a house built; And with Binah (Understanding) it is established; And with Da’at (Knowledge) are its chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches. (Proverbs 24:3-4) How excellent are your tents, O Ya’akov, your dwellings, Yisrael! (Numbers 24:5)

Rabbit! Rabbit!! Rabbit!!! And now that intent has spread to the universe prior to sleep...

JUMANJI!!!

Never mind. New Year's wishes, or Jumanji this year, at midnight. Rabbit thrice when one awakens in the morning.

hmm... Serious question: Which comes first at midnight on January 1st? New Year's wishes or Rabbit thrice?
