My, Jewish holidays sure do come in bunches! Tomorrow night is the beginning of Succos, a harvest festival. An important part of the holiday is the Succah, a little wooden hut decorated with leaves and fruit and things. Does anyone want to help me build one? *beams*

"What is it for? Shelter?"

[oneofallofakind]

Well, it used to be! *grins* It's to remind us of when we were wandering in the desert and had to live in huts.

[demonfiance]

He looks unimpressed. "I wasn't doing that."

[oneofallofakind]

Oh, I just meant the Jews. *smiles* It's all right if you're not Jewish. I know a lot of nice gentiles!

[as_a_rush]

Sounds like they do, so. *smiles* I'll help, if you like. They can't excommunicate me for building a... Succah?

[oneofallofakind]

I wouldn't think so! *smiles* I hope you're good at building things - usually my Papa plans it all and does most of the work.

[as_a_rush]

Sometimes I help with repairs at my da's store... *tries to look competent, but mostly looks sheepish*

[oneofallofakind]

*laughs* Well, the Succah only has to last a week.

[dust_child]

That sounds like fun!

[oneofallofakind]

It is! And the more helpers, the easier the job. *grins*

[dust_child]

*pouts a little* Why do you have all the fun holidays?

[oneofallofakind]

*laughs* Just lucky, I guess!

[fingersofleaf]

Oh, me, can I help? I can bring extra fruit, and some veggies, if we need!

[oneofallofakind]

That would be wonderful, thank you! *beams*

[fingersofleaf]

Thanks! *beeeeeams* I've got plenty of stuff.

[oneofallofakind]

Like what? Anything we can hang from the ceiling? *grins*
