Happy Hanukkah!
I apologize if there is already a thread dedicated to this, but I couldn't find it.
Happy Hanukkah (even though it began Friday evening) to all the Jewish members out there!!!!
I am not Jewish, but gladly embrace all holidays! (we even had latkes and doughnuts to celebrate )

I love having the best of both worlds. Mom's Jewish and Dad's Protestant. Mom's the more religious of the two but she celebrates both religion's holidays!!! So every December I looked forward to Hanukkah and Christmas!!! Nowadays, my family doesn't open presents on Hanukkah nights (both me and my brother are in our 20s now) but my mom wraps presents we open for Christmas (not always on the 25th of December because I can't always be with my family on that exact day) with Jewish wrapping paper. I'm not religious (By choice!!!), don't go to Temple or Church (unless it is for a wedding or Bar/Bat Mitzvah) but I will celebrate the holidays and pass down the traditions (especially the memorial candles) of both when I have a family of my own.
BTW, latkes is amazing with sour cream and applesauce!!!

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Well in all honesty this year Hanukkah went by very quietly at our house. Mark was at school during the week and was only home for a couple of days during the weekend. I have/had finals and was busy studying. However, I did make sure that the menorah got lit every night. We got our gifts, but only on the nights that we were both home.mindflipper wrote:Hey, Len or Mark, why don't you tell us what you do for the Hanukkah holiday?

Our family never really has a special dinner for Hanukkah. The traditional food that people generally tend to eat on Hanukkah is latkas. This year there were no latkas.mindflipper wrote:Len90: when we celebrate Xmas, we have the traditional family dinner of turkey, stuffing, green beans, etc. When your brother was home for the weekend, did your family have a special family dinner? Is there traditional food for a Hanukkah dinner?
