Hanukkah starts today at sundown. Although we don’t celebrate, when my kids were young we learned about all the holiday traditions we could, and celebrated those that resonated with us. My oldest loved Hanukkah. We gave them a menorah and celebrated for several years by lighting the candles, playing dreidel, giving little gifts, and making latkes. I find the story of Hanukkah fascinating. Here is an article from National Geographic if you would like to learn more about the origin of the holiday.
I love Mochimochi patterns and I hope some day to set aside some time to knit all the tiny adorable things. The dreidel pattern is free, and the dreidel works!

That yarn is the best yet!
I love learning traditions. They teach us so much about a culture.

It’s interesting that your Day 10 advent calendar yarn is spun in Hanukkah colors. It’s a Winter holiday cross-over!

That menorah pillow is really lovely, and the dreidel is so cute! As always, lovely photo 🙂

I should not have followed that link to Mochimochi. Now I want all of the tiny things.
