[quote=Anonymous]So I want to share something that we do, and no we do not have a tree. However, every year my kids make their own Hanukkah decorations and we hang them all over the house. It looks very cute, and every year we add more and more. We do not compete with Christmas. Hanukkah is a holiday that celebrates Jewish strength AND our nonconforming, nonassimilating, unapologetic love for Judaism. Not sure how a Christmas tree figures into this at all. The holiday is not about gift giving. We do Hanukkah gelt and presents. The accent is on gelt, we do not go overboard with presents. One thing we also do, is we pick a day, and recount the stories of Judith and Hannah. On that day everyone does nice things for Mommy and gives her gifts, it's my version of a badass Mother's/Women's day. [/quote]
