And so it begins...

I will be celebrating Hanukkah again this year and dragging you along with me. I light the candles each night and post a picture of my menorah for you all to see. It makes me feel good to do it. Google is a funny thing and a search on Hannukah today brought up this funny article.

He he he.

And here is the background on the dreidel thing according to Wiki:

So keep an eye on the journal here for Hannukah factoids and suchly. I will post some little things for you.

Tell your friend Veronica...

It's time to celebrate Hannukah.

I lit the candles right at sundown. Well I thought it was sundown. It was clouded over so it was a good guess. Dark anyways.

The First Night of Hanukkah at my humble abode... )

There is a set way that you go about lighting the candles. You light the center candle first and then light the menorah from right to left. Each night you add a candle to the menorah until there are eight candles there.

And so it goes.

Happy Hanukkah!

Note that Hanukkah relates to a specific incident in Hebrew history. I will post some about that as we go along.
