Happy Chanukah! Are you doing anything special for the holiday?

We have Christmas threads going, so I thought I’d do one for Chanukah.

Where I live there was a menorah lighting ceremony at 3:00 in one of the town squares. I think about 1,000 people were there!

The people putting on the show told the story of Chanukah, sang Chanukah songs, lit the big huge (electric) menorah, played music (one song was about Latkas and set to a disco beat, it was hysterical) did a couple of horas, it was nice.

I went home with dreidels and chocolate money, which I guess my maintenance fee pays for. LOL. The people sitting next to me weren’t Jewish, they just came out to check it out. I liked that.

I lit my own menorah tonight after eating Christmas dinner. :)
