Hanukkah Day 8
So this is the last night of Hanukkah, at least for 11 and 1/2 months. This year was a really great Hanukkah. Normally it boils down to getting candles lit early enough (but after sundown) so that we can move on with other stuff after they burn down. But this year was different. I spent the entire week of Hanukkah at home, with the family. Everyone was off (more or less … Marla still had to work a few days, but was otherwise home the whole time too) and it was a great time. We ordered out dinner every night, then lit candles, sang Hanukkah songs, opened presents, and then (not having to get up first thing in the morning for work) Marla and I would spend the evening getting new gifts put together. It was really a great time.
There is a particularly good picture of Justin, it’s in the gallery, but I’m going to post it here too… http://gallery.famille.org
I think that picture about sums up our Hanukkah this year!
Now for the obligatory Menorah picture…
Thanks to all the Grandmas / Bubbes / Nanas for all the kids presents, everyone loves their giftrs. Everyone have a happy, safe, and prosperous new year!
