CHANUKKAH ITEMS AT THE EAST WALMART
If you are out and about, you might want to check the east side Walmart. they had a big display of Chanukkah items and Kosher food. I don’t know if the Walmart by smelter has one as well, and I don’t know about Target, who usually has some things. Those are some places to check.

MAJCo — CHAG HANUKAH SAMEACH
Six13 – A Star Wars Chanukah
“DO, OR DO NOT — THERE IS NO TRY.”
Little known fact: though Baby Yoda’s cousin delivered this sage advice to Luke Skywalker, he took his inspiration from the Maccabees. Like the Jedi years later, against all odds (never tell us the odds!) they fought off a great empire who sought their destruction.
Today, we celebrate the miracles of that time with presents, dreidels and latkes — and our tribute to the music of one of the greatest film franchises of all time. CHAG SAMEACH… may the force be with you!
