I remember the first time I heard about Hanukkah, I was in elementary school, around third grade. For an agnostic suburban kid I was shocked, I tell you shocked, that not everyone celebrated Christmas! How was the economy going to keep going? Those poor kids didn’t get any presents! don’t even get me started on Santa. Then I heard the rumor that instead of having one day for presents, these kids got eight… at that point my elementary kid mind considered converting. Frankly, as with any holiday (whether I celebrate it or not) I hope everyone has a wonderful time. For the next eight nights: Happy Hanukkah!
