Chapter 12

“So, how is the play going down at the Community Center?” Jeremy asked Katie. It was late Saturday afternoon. Katie had come to Jeremy’s house to help him celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.

“Well, Suzanne was there . . .” Katie began.

Jeremy laughed. “That’s all you have to say.”

“Totally. You should have seen her. She . . .” Katie began. Then she stopped herself. This was the holiday season. It was a time to be nice. “Well, she’s trying,” she added quickly. “It’s a tough job.”

“How does your scenery look?” Jeremy asked Katie.

“I think it’s pretty good, actually,” Katie said. “I have to go back tomorrow and finish up a few things on the last Christmas tree.”

“You’re a good artist,” Jeremy told her. “Suzanne’s really lucky to have you helping out with the play.”

“Thanks,” Katie said.

She sat down on the couch and looked around Jeremy’s living room. There was a blue and silver banner hanging across the wall that said “Happy Hanukkah.” A silver menorah had been placed near the window. It had two candles in it.

“I thought this was the first night of Hanukkah,” she said.

“It is,” Jeremy told her. “The candle in the middle is the shemash, the helper candle. We use it to light the other ones.”

“Oh. I forgot. I haven’t done this since last year when I came over for Hanukkah,” Katie said. “Are we going to play that game tonight? The one with the top and the chocolate candies?”
