Oh -- I have to share this. For one set of my very favorite relatives -- their big family Hanukkah present each year -- was a trip to Disneyland! And -- since they went for a week -- and had to go when the kids were out of school -- they went a few days before Christmas -- and spent the week with much smaller crowds, beautiful decorations, and extra events. They planned year-round for this wonderful trip. And other relatives often arranged to go for the same week and stay at the same hotel.
Their children are grown now. And the wedding-phase of life has just started for them. But I bet this custom will be revived for the grandchildren too!

Enjoy your Hanukkah Celebration!! "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the lights of Hanukkah. "
Happy Hanukkah, Halimer! I'm a shikseh of the first order, but I used to sing in a Jewish temple! They hired me to beef up their choir for High Holy Days, and asked me to stay on. I sang at a military chapel on Sunday mornings, and at the temple on Friday nights! I sang with them for almost a year, until my husband got new orders and we moved away. I absolutely loved every moment of it! I was so ignorant, and it was such a wonderful learning and cultural experience for me. Our rebbitsin had lost her first husband and all her family in the Holocaust! It's been over 30 years now, and I can still sing the candle blessing. I hope you and your family have a wonderful celebration!
When I was going to temple regularly we also had non Jews singing in our choir. The songs during the high holy days were beautiful. I particularly remember a wonderful soloist. What a delight it was to hear a beautiful voice! God grants such wonderful gifts.
