Have a Happy Happy Happy Hanukkah

I have a good friend who is Jewish. He celebrates Hanukkah every year instead of Christmas. He kindly aloud us to celebrate a night of Hanukkah with him this year. It was such a great experience and I have seriously been considering celebrating it myself next year. The meaning of Christmas is so preserved and hasn't been lost in the business of buying and getting. Everything about Hanukkah has a purpose and meaning. 


Waiting for sundown with the applesauce, menora, and grape juice


The latkes that are fried in oil


Grant wearing his Yamaka


Lighting the candle and singing the blessing in Hebrew


The Menorah all lit up on the seventh night


On a slightly lighter note, here is a great link to a jewish group, The Maccabeats. I love it!
