Lighting Candles, Opening Presents!

My family celebrated Hanukkah Saturday night, 16 December 2017. Hanukkah has been The Holiday where we all get together, going back to the mid-70's, or about forty years. The cast of characters has changed, but our delight in each other remains the motivating factor

Happy Hannukah to you! Looks as if a good time was had by all. :-)

Sounds like a lovely lovely time was had by all and so much food! :D

Apparently, John and Pam expect their guests to go home with a tote full of left overs, every time. They are excellent cooks! FanSee

Yummy! That's even better. It will be like us tonight. Leftover, all around!

Love your family get-togethers. Reminds me of the ones I enjoyed when Mom was still with us. She seemed to be the one that everyone gravitated to at Holidays. My family is so scattered that I'm not sure I'll ever see us all together again, but at least I have the memories. Huge hugs, Grammy

My parents established Hanukkah as the Must Do holiday of the year for our family. After they died, I was afraid the event would unravel and did my darnedest to keep it going. Happily, I wasn't the only one who valued it; we have never missed a year. The cast of characters has changed somewhat, what with births, deaths, and other life events, but the core is strong. I am hopeful that even after I die, the tradition will continue. FanSee
