A day in my life as an Orthodox Jew on December 25th. #dayinmylife #jewish #nurse #christmas

A day in my life as an Orthodox Jew and labor and delivery room nurse. Today is December 25th. While many people around the world are celebrating Christmas, I just finished working a night shift at the hospital. Christmas is not a holiday that Jewish people observe, so I am more than happy to come into work so that my non-Jewish co-workers can be home with their families. Here are some of my favorite things about the day. One, there is no traffic on the roads.

I also love the festive holiday music and fun fact, did you know that many of the iconic Christmas songs were composed by Jewish people? When I get home, my older girls have already gotten on the bus and left for school. Aviva is still home waiting for me to drive her to school. Aviva usually takes a bus also, but unlike my older girl's school that has a private busing company, Aviva's school uses a public busing company which is closed on all legal holidays. After I drop her off, I can finally go home and get ready for bed. I brush my teeth, do my skincare. I always have to add extra moisturizer into my routine because the hospital just sucks

out all of that moisture from my face. If learning about my life as an orthodox out all of that moisture from my face. If learning about my life as an orthodox Jew interests you, go ahead and interact with this post. Alexa, turn the light off. Okay.
