Last night was the first night of Chanukah.  It was not as much fun as might imagine though.  One of my Hebrew school students – her father was killed in a plane crash as he was taking off the runway.  He was a pilot.  The family is so stunned.  Just goes to show you how someone can be there one day and gone the next.  Tonight, you can celebrate Chanukah by simply going to your dad and giving him a BIG hug.  Be thankful that he is still with you.  Grandma made me a huge basket of goodies that I plan to share with friends.  Didn’t she do a great job?  Grandma knows how to make everything special.

To help you get into the Chanukah mood, here is the Glee cast singing my favorite Chanukah song: O’Chanukah.  I won’t make you hear a Chanukah song all eight days.  Just tonight.  I do try to do something nice each of the eight nights though.  Tonight is Hebrew School and the girls and I are making sugar cookies.  Yum!

But first…the song.
