Last week I pulled Auntie Elyssa aside and mentioned to her that Daddy really didn’t know what he was doing when it came to Hanukkah. I asked her if maybe she could show me the ropes a bit and then I could help Daddy along with the songs and everything. Auntie Elyssa thought this was a great idea, so we did a practice run of the first night of Hanukkah on Sunday night before she left.
I’m a lucky girl because Auntie Elyssa sure knows her stuff! She showed me how to light the menorah and then we played dreidel … and then I got presents! Now I feel like I’m all prepared to show Daddy how things are done when we get back to San Francisco.
First we lit the candles and sang the Hanukkah prayers...
... then Auntie Elyssa showed me how to spin the dreidel - the under 2 set back home in San Francisco better watch their gelt!
... and THEN the best part - presents! Even though this was a practice run, Auntie Elyssa got me two gifts!
I can't wait to read my new book - thanks Auntie Elyssa!
Thank you Auntie Elyssa! Can’t wait to celebrate with you again soon…
