Hanukkah 2012

Next Saturday, December 8, marks the beginning of Hanukkah and in the flurry that is the madness of Christmas season,  I can’t forget my Jewish peeps!

Hanukkah is a joyful holiday that comes with its own rituals, foods, games, songs and stories which makes it easy to throw a party. Here’s a round up of great ideas to help you and your family celebrate  The Festival Of Lights.

I love this DIY and kid-friendly menorah from Yum Food & Fun For Kids; it uses battery-operated votives found at any party store and candles made from plastic hair rollers covered in colored paper!

A lovely dining room setting from HGTV…although I’m a little iffy on the Christmas tree. I know it’s for those who celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas, but still…
