What Hanukah is not about
Dec. 8th, 2004 03:47 pmHaving a Hannuka bush (shrub?).
Decorating the exterior of your house.
Giving gifts of KJI (kitschy Jewish items) (OK, it's a stretch; I suppose someone out there might want something they offer. Not likely anyone I know well, though :-)
I will stick with my (indoor) menorah lighting, singing one of the few decent Hanuka songs ("I Had a Little Dreidel" does not fall in this category), eating chocolate coins and foods involving olive oil. I may play a game of dreidel, but it's really not very interesting. Really, that's what we need, a better game for the holiday.
