For the past two years we have celebrated Christmas using an menorah. A Menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith, a eight-branched candelabrum used in the Temple. So we made up our own Hanukkah celebrating who Jesus is and what he has done for us. Each night we talked about a character of God and gave thanks as we see these displayed in our family. We talked about God as our Father, Protector, Provider, Mercy, Forgiveness, Peace, Love, and Truth. The boys also opened up one small gift during that time. The picture of Nate is the bubbles he opened on night #4.
