First Hanukkah
without kiddos, and their first without a menorah. Living away from home in
Christmas land, the memories of Hanukkahs past but faint echoes somewhere in
their hearts, I wonder if, despite the way I raised them, this sentiment may
have been part of their ethos—
Not me. For me,
Christmas lights, trees and carols are for the outside. Lovely, but other.
Home, on the
other hand, is all Hanukkah. Lovely, and ours.
This year it’s
just us—
HAPPY
HOLIDAY
Aw, Mirka, first Hannukah without kids? Hugs. Do light candles and renew your traditions. All the best for a blessed Hannukah.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Hanukkah! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Hannukah to you! Your kiddos may not do the "traditional" celebration now but I bet when they have families of their own they will bring all that you taught them into their homes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukkah, Mirka!
