I remember singing with my family and family friends. My parent's friend Ronnie could play the piano and we all would sing and play dreidel with my sisters and best friend. I just remember such warmth and togetherness...

Spending time with family at the Hanukkah patry.

It was my first Hanukkah away from home at college. I got the fixings for Latkes and made them in the dorm kitchen. Anyone who smelled the lakes came to see what was going on. Some of the friends I made that day, I still have. And the boy I wanted to impress with my cooking skills, I am married to!

Maybe Don knows too, but the best latkes in the world come from Chicken Delight in Fair Lawn. Sad we didn't get any this year yet. But Hanukkah does have eight days!

My first Chanukah memory was when I stood in front of the menorah with.my uncle Jed and wore a red yarmulke and sang Chanukah songs with my brother Irv. My uncle Jed bought me Marble Raceway.

Last year we celebrated Chanukah with our grandparents in Florida

We lived outside London for 3 years, and the first Hannukah I invited all the Jewish families to come to my house to celebrate. It was a joyous evening with all of us so far from home, celebrating together and becoming our family away from family.

One year Andy Ellman (leemor's husband) decided to cook latkes outside on a hot plate, so that the house didn't smell. It was like 10 degrees and it took forever because the hot plate kept getting cold.

A separate year we accidently set the fire alarms off making latkes. The fire department showed up, we felt bad so we gave them sizzling fresh latkes. And all was good.

Last year, 2019, we visited Brett's family in New York for a Hanukah celebration. Little did we know that we would not be celebrating Hanukah with them this year due to COVID.

We were lighting Hanukkah candles and singing and Hannah leaned over the table and her sweater caught on fire! Then we turned it into a new verse of Oh Hanukkah...
and while we are playing, the Mommy is burning low...

Many years ago my family couldn't find the yarmulkes that we wanted to wear when lighting the menorah. We hadn't used them since Passover! My Dad didn't have much patience so he went into the closet and pulled out a winter cap and covered his head with it. He thought that was good enough!. Then my Mom grabbed her winter cap and covered her head! Before long we all grabbed whatever hat we could find to cover our heads! From that point on my family and today my family would grab the most unusual hat we could find and cover our heads and never again resort to wearing boring yarmulkes when lighting the menorah!

We dance in the kitchen to hanukkah songs while Cindy fries latkes.  Then we eat them!  Then we play dreidel, and as each person loses, they get to go to the kitchen to eat chocolate.  Really good chocolate nowadays (we've kind of graduated from gelt.  Someday they will make gourmet gelt!!).  Cindy won this year!

As Grandma fried up the latkes, everyone on my BIG family ate them straight from the frying pan. So, Grandma Tillie has to stay Hy the stove fir what seemed like hours but, she loved us all and was happy to keep cooking. She also made the best matzo meal pancakes !

My twin sister and I were in prague during hanukah of 2019. We went to the jewish quarter, bought a hannukeah, and brought it back to the hostel. We lit the candles and played with some very cheap tops that we added sharpie to to make dreidels.It was lots of fun!

My cousin Bernice who was my mother''s best friend growing up (my mother married Bernice's Uncle Nate and became my cousin) made the most delicious latkes for us.  We would go to their house and play with her sons (my cousins also) and eat and eat and eat. I loved them with sour cream!

# data[].attributes.body
I went to my cousin's house with that whole side of the family. We had latkes and hung around for hours in his house, and usually threw a football over the house

We love to spin the dreidels we've collected from all over the world so that our cats can chase them/knock them over/enjoy them.
