myLot reputation of 89/100. fsustriker (617) 6 years ago

I see so many people putting up posts about Christmas shopping, what you doing for Christmas. I see 0 posts on Chanukah. Maybe I missed them, Who knows, but who here celebrates it.
I have been celebrating Chanukah since I was 1. This will be my first year of not doing presents for all 8 days, and only doing 1 gift instead.
If you celebrate Chanukah, Post here what you normally do during that time. It starts on the 16th remember.
I normally visit family for one of the days, than the rest, we just light the manora (never could spell it), say the prayer while doing so, than open gifts. that's all we normally do.

I celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas. We used to do the full eight nights of presents but now only my sister's three children get eight nights of gifts. Over the past few years we all go to my parents house for two nights of dinner and celebrating. At my home I just light the Menorah every night.


8 nights of lights

Yea, I do Christmas as well, it was always a cool thing for me to go to school, and brag to my friends of all the gifts I got, when they only got it for Christmas. Those were the good old days when you were a kid and not know really what it is about.

Hi! Yes, I am in a situation where I have to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas, too. My family keeps the hebrew traditions/festivals while my hubby keeps the christian festivals. So, we work it out. Blessings to you!

I am a Messianic Jewish believer. So, I do both. I light the menorah. But, I don't give gifts each night. It's just my hubby and me.
I do want to wish you a very happy Chanukah though.

Happy Chanukah to you and your husband

Hi! I'm Messianic, too! I think you are already added to my friends list, but feel free to drop me a line anytime! Happy Hanukkah and Blessings to you and your family!

It will be my son's first Hanukkah. We will give him 8 presents. Some are pretty small though. He's only 8 months old so he probably won't even understand the whole thing, but it's all about tradition. I want to start with him early.

It's always good to start early, just hard to keep it going. I'm sure your son will enjoy his first Chanukah.
