if it’s a foggy night Rudolph can use
his nose so Santa won’t run into
anything.”
- Connor
“He blinks with his eyes and it
turns red.”

Miracle commemorated
by lighting menorah
Continued from B8
commemorate this miracle by
lighting a menorah for eight
nights.
Menorahs can come in all shapes
and sizes. The only requirement is
that the candle holders be spaced
enough apart so that the flames don't
resemble a pagan bonfire. On the
first night of the holiday, one candle
is lit. A candle is added and lit each
successive night until the eighth
night when all candles are lit.
The tallest candle, known as the
“shamash,” is used to light the other
candles.
are jelly doughnuts without the hole.
ENTERTAINMENT
Another tradition associated with
Chanukah is the dreidel game. A
dreidel is like a top with four sides.
Each side bears a Hebrew letter
which, together, mean “A great
miracle happened there.” To play,
each player receives the same
number of candy pieces, coins or
any other small object.
Before spinning the dreidel, the
player puts a fixed number of his
pieces into a central “pot” and spins
the dreidel. What letter lands face up
determines how much the player

FLAVOURFUL FOODS
The holiday is full of cultural
celebrations. People eat potato
pancakes (also known as latkes)
which are cooked in oil as a
reminder of the oil that burned for
eight days. Some also eat jelly
doughnuts, or “sufganiyot” which
gets from the pot. “Nun” brings
nothing, “no win, no lose;”
“gimmel” means you take all from
the pot; “hey” gives you half the pot;
and “shin,” you lose what you put in.
The game is played until everyone
is left with no pieces or everyone
agrees to stop.
In a season so serene and still,
We think of peace and of goodwill;
And in spite of the cold and frost and snow,
We're warmed by thoughts of the folks we know!
Merry Christmas and heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Some things never change at Christmastime. Children still yearn for
that special toy, and hope for snow in the forecast.
We hope you get everything you wish for this holiday seasonl
