How We Celebrate Hanukkah!!

Every year we celebrate the festival of Hanukkah... This year was especially special!

The festival lasts eight days and we have the best time every year. Each night you are given a present... in our family the tradition is that each night a different person gives out a present to each of the family members. Because our family is so big it ends up that every night each person receives a gift.

Our presents can be handmade, store bought, drawn, etc. We light a new candle each night, eat potato pancakes, doughnuts and play dreidel. We have our friends over and have a great time!

Here are some pictures that I took (sorry that there are not more, I was too busy having fun with my family)
