Hanukkah 2008!
Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. For most of my adult life, I have heard that Hanukkah is a 'minor' holiday.
For most of my childhood life, I wouldn't understand the 'minor' comment for all the presents in the world.
The same is true for my adult life.
Religiously, faithfully, sure, this isn't a holiday where we get dressed up, head over to the synagogue and pray for our ever living souls, but minor? Not a chance!
This was Jonah in 2005. Can you see how much he thinks the holiday is minor?
And this is Josh in 2007...Do you think he thinks it's minor?
Which brings us to today, Sunday December 21st, 2008. The first night of Hanukkah. We lit candles in our Hanukkiah's, one of which Jonah made, then Megan made fantastic latkes, which we shared with Amanda and my friend Rob, and then, presents!
Happy Hanukkah, and see you tomorrow!
