It's wonderful to get together and watch your kids grow up with your friends' kids. I live in Israel, so everyone I interact with is pretty much of the same faith. But I can attest to the fact that it's VERY difficult to 'make friends' in adulthood. Everyone is busy with their own family and career. Plus in Israel, most people live relatively close to extended family and childhood/army friends. Their social schedule is full, and they're not really 'shopping' for new friendships. Enjoy your Minnesota friends, such good (adult) friendships are a rare and wonderful thing. I think you’re very lucky to have found good friends, of whatever faith.

But I do my best to carry on the big big holidays tradition all by myself out here in the cold. :) I've found a few like-minded Jews to do it with me, but you and I should definitely try a holiday together sometime! I bet it would be just like home. ~Jenna Galit,
