While the much of the world, and most of the BCS, is getting ready for Christmas, a few of us are celebrating a lesser known minor holiday known as Hanukkah. For those less familiar with the holiday, here's a little background...
Why is it perceived that Hanukkah is a major holiday when it's really not? Because of timing of course! Hanukkah, because of its proximity to Christmas, has been grandfathered into the trifecta of Holiday celebrations, i.e: Christmas, New Years, and Hanukkah (and sometimes Kwanza). In my opinion, fesitvus should also be included, because what's better than a holiday that is "for the rest of us?"
So, here's to all of my fellow Jews and honorary hebrews. Happy Hanukkah and many more from the Krugel clan. May the warmth and glow of each candle you light make your heart and home happy and your Hanukkah bright It's the Festival of Lights! Shalom - Peace to you at Hanukkah and always.
