Journalism Class - Tuesday December 6

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider is absent, although the cat is sprawled across the desk, looking smug. It is currently using today's attendance pad as a scratch pad - and not in the conventional sense. The huge screen behind it is lit with two lines of text.

"I hate the holiday season and I do not celebrate.

Take the time to choose a holiday tradition of some sort and attempt to convince me that it would be fun."











There's a page missing here, damn it. Will correct when I can. Basically, a newsfeed reporter made the mistake of approaching Spider and asking him, jocularly, how he was going to celebrate the holidays and who with.

Did you know that in one culture it's a tradition (http://www.holidays.net/chanukah/dreidel.html) for young children to gamble and bet during the holiday season? It's not even so much a game of skill as it is a measure of luck, all they do is spin a small top and whatever letter lands up decideds whether the person who spun gets everything in the pot, half the pot, nothing, or has to put something in. Truely a great game tradition.
