We chose our candle colors, lit the chanukiyah and sang the prayers together. Now what? We didn't want to jump right into the gifts. So, we decided to ask each of our children to present something to our family after we lit the candles tonight. We were impressed how true they were to themselves. Our daughter played the song "I have a little dreidel" on her recorder. Our son prepared a "Stump My Family" Chanukkah Quiz, and our youngest son shared some Hanukkah songs he learned at school. It was nice to spend a few minutes celebrating what they had learned and watching them continue to identify and celebrate their individual strengths (and each other!). Happy Hanukkah!
