First candle of Hanukkah

Dear Readers,

Tonight, the first candle of Hanukkah will be lit in thousands of homes here in Israel.  It is a very
special holiday for our children who receive gifts and pocket money which indeed they need to spend on entry tickets to one or two of the many Hanukkah shows and festivities.  It also is a 8 days school vacation.  Great for children and teachers not so pleasing for working parents.  This is the time when grandparents come handy.





Both Hanukkah and Christmas happen on the month December.  I made this scene in a small Ikea frame some years ago for a gift.  Most of the items inside are created by me, including the Menorah on the shelve which is part of an old earring.  Another Ikea frame was used for a Chrismas scene which I'll show on Chrismas.

Happy Hanukkah and blessings!

  11. Happy Hanukkah to you and yours! May the candle lights shine on happy faces! Your scene became so lovely and I like the idea that there's also a Christmas version. Well, we're not that far away from each other with our customs and traditions in December - lighting candles one after the other, giving presents, having "quality time" with the family and anticipating the big day... *smile* Enjoy the times - and being a needed grandparent! ;O)

    Hugs
