My (Catholic) hubby has been away, but he didn't want me to feel forgotten so he had some things to arrive here while he was gone (some sox, handwarmers, iTunes card)... very cool.

He'll be back tonight and we'll light the menorah together.

In my family we always tried (and now I've done this with him) to pick right after lighting the candle that goes out the last... does anyone else do this?



I will have to try making latkes out of mashed potatos. That sounds like something even I could do.

Happy Hanukkah!
