Blueridge Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Even though we aren't Jewish, we've been celebrating Hanukkah as a family for many years. We keep it simple but have a good time together. Basically, I throw a roast in the crock pot, we buy sour cream and a large jar of applesauce for condiments, and make a TON of potato latkes. We make one batch of regular russet potato latkes, and then make a sweet potato batch with cinnamon honey...:drool5:. After we're completely falling in the floor from too much eating LOL, we watch the first half of Fiddler On The Roof. Just sweet times! ETA: Here is a nice site with a lot of free Hanukkah videos: http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/218973/jewish/Chanukah-Videos.htm Edited December 1, 2010 by Blueridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in PA Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I definitely ate too many latkes tonight. :D The kids were so excited -- they started the day with snow and ended it with a big holiday meal, candles, gifts, and lots of calls from family.

holdoll Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There's nothing like homemade latke's and chocolate chip rugelach! We played dreidel, ate gelt and lit the Chanukiah. I love listening to my girls sing the blessings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
