True Lies
“Did you call him yet?” my boss asked. We were under pressure to finish a big editorial project, and the phone call was key to crucial details. I replied refl exively, without thinking: “I haven’t reached him yet.” My boss’s eyes f ashed. “Wait a minute,” he said impatiently. “You tried him and you didn’t get through, or you haven’t called yet at all?” 
Whoops. I admitted that, in fact, I hadn’t called.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, dear Friends!

 

In case you didn't know, millions of people are getting ready to celebrate a holiday on Dec. 25. It is called Christmas, but is also called Hanukkah for many... The very same day.

 

Call it a Judeo-Christian harmonic convergence. The eight-day celebration of Hanukkah begins just before 25 December, Christmas time.

It's a coincidence that could make the holidays a bit more hectic for interfaith couples, but which also ensures that both Christian and Jewish children get to play with their toys while on vacation from school.

Those holiday are coming just after the Muslim Eid feast.

Dearest Englishtips users! May you live long and prosper in peace and understanding.

Each one of us is a distinct entity, a precious stone in the Nature's safe. Let us be brothers and sisters, let us be - leaders in peace :)

On the behalf of the Crew: All the best, stovokor :)
