My relationship to the religion I was raised in is somewhat mixed, while also being mostly totally angst free on my side. For those who don’t know, I was raised Jewish, in a heavily Jewish community (well compared to most of the rest of the country), went to temple fairly regularly, and went to sunday school till I confirmed.

Whee this is a busy time of the year. Note to self for next year – buy Yule gifts in july and/or make something – but do it before Samhain or you will only be crazy by midwinter.
