PEET'S CHANUKAH BOOK

Amanda Peet, 44, (HBO's Togetherness)
has penned her first book, Dear Santa,
Love, Rachel Rosenstein. The title char-
acter is a little Jewish girl who wishes
to celebrate Christmas like most friends

and neighbors, but
finds out she may
have focused on the
wrong things.
The book was
inspired by questions
her own two older
children asked about
Santa and Christmas
(Peet and her hus-
band, David Benioff,
45, have two daugh-
ters, ages 8 and 5,
and a boy, 10 months). She told People:
"They felt left out, as I think most Jewish
children do, and I was exploring differ-
ent ways to make sense of it!'
Peet, the daughter of a Quaker
father and a Jewish mother, did cel-
ebrate both Christmas and Chanukah
as a child and once referred to herself
as a "little of both;' but called herself
a "Jewish mother" while speaking to
People. She told Time that she and
Benioff, the Emmy-winning creator of
Game of Thrones, have never "celebrat-
ed" Christmas, but they spend the day
with her family and her sister, her only
sibling, Dr. Alisa Peet, Alisa's kids and
Alisa's Jewish husband. *
