RE: Happy First Night Of Hanukkah - Celebrating with Dreidels and Lighting a Menorah
I love how excited your kids are! Im trying my very best to make this a fun learning thing for my kids and not so much just about the lighting the candles. Did your husband do an specific teaching or book? Its a little hard to tell the story straight out of maccabees and a little glossed over when you dont mention the horrible things happening then. Just curious for future reference, if you dont mind sharing.
Sometimes one of our candles will 'go out' and my son will have to relight it, lol they love to play with fire!! Hope the rest of your festival goes very well and no hurt feelings over who won dreidel last night!!
Mine love lighting the candles as well. He googled Hanukkah story I guess. That's what the reading sounded like. It was very dry and history like and not really a story. I want to find a better one for next time. Yes, there is at least one kid who gets upset that he doesn't win the dreidel game. Ha. Sometimes it's a bit competitive. :)
